Although there was almost no armed resistance to Hitler after he took power in 1933, it is difficult to determine the extent of the German Public support for Hitler. In the Reichstag elections of 31 July 1932, the Nazi Party got 37.8% of the votes. After Hitler took power and elections were held in March 1933, the Nazi Party intimidated (terrorized & killed) the other political parties but the Nazis only got 43.9% of the vote. Germans certainly agreed with Hitler on many of his goals, however there were many programs that the Germans would not have supported if they had known all the details.
Different programs or goals had different levels of support, illustrated as follows:
Anti-Communism measures: strong support
Industrial & Economic growth programs: strong support
Rebuilding Germany's military 1933-1938: strong support
Killings of the mentally ill, very ill & elderly in German hospitals before the war: little support
Annexation of Austria: strong support
Hitler Youth programs: strong support
Annexation of Czechoslovakia: moderate support
Anti-Jewish measures: moderate support
Death Camps for Jews: probably little support
War with Poland: strong support
War with France & Belgium: strong support
War with Norway & Denmark: little support
War with Netherlands: little support
War with Britain: moderate support
War with Serbian-Yugoslavia & Greece: moderate support
Alliance with Italy: moderate support
Alliance with Japan: little support
1939 Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin: little support
War with Soviet Union (communism-Stalin): strong support
Mass murder of the Polish & Slavic populations of Eastern Europe: little support
War with the United States: little support
Murder of POWs: little support
Persecution of German Church leaders that opposed Hitler: almost no support
Defending the German homeland from invasion & attacks: strong support
The people who supported Hitler's rise to power were the Nazi Part and the German public who believed in Hitler and the Nazi Ideal
The Nazi Party - National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Adolf Hitler joined the German Workers' Party(DAP) on September 12, 1919. In 1921, it changed its name to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei(National Socialist German Workers Party or NSDAP), but more commonly referred to as the Nazi party.
The Nazi Youth Movement was called the Hitler Youth (in German die Hitlerjugend).
The National Socialist German Workers Party (often abbrieviated to the Nazi Party)In German, it's "Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei", or "NSDAP" Because of the way the word "National" is pronounced in German, "Nazi" became the shortened term for the party.
