Germany needed a strong to leader to help control the economic situation, whilst Hitler was promising jobs and promised not to let Germany turn into a communist state. He had good ideas, which would benefit Germany greatly. This is what gained votes for his party.
Hitler’s promises had a wide appeal. Germany liked what Hitler was saying because he offered more jobs with fair wages, also he promised to bring an end the treaty of Versailles, which would pull Germany out of depression. He promised that the Treaty of Versailles would be cancelled and the land that had been taken from the Germans would be returned.
The people of Germany liked this idea because most of the conditions of the treaty were causing them to fall into a deeper depression and was not giving the freedom that they wanted. The Nazis demanded land and colonies to feed the people and house surplus population; the Germans promised they could gain back the colonies that they lost, by this there would be fewer problems as the money from the colonies would feed and house the German people. Mein Kampf demanded a strong central government led by a single strong leader, Germany needed a strong government to save them from unemployment and most of the German population were unemployed and were not supported by a government. A strong leader who wanted the best for his country was needed. As he achieved his goal through Propaganda, he was made Chancellor in January 1933.
Another reason why he achieved a dictatorship was that, the German parliament (Reichstag) building was burnt down due to arson. The government falsely portrayed the fire as part of a Communist effort to overthrow the state.
Using emergency constitutional powers, Adolf Hitler’s cabinet had issued a Decree for the Protection of the German People on February 4, this allowed the Chancellor, Adolf Hitler to declare a state of emergency; this allowed him to overthrow the President after he died, after this Hitler was able to make himself now the Head of State of the “Führer”. He achieved this again, by using his intellect and his powers.
Hitler was a powerful speaker, his speeches were very persuasive and which were the many reasons why Hitler and the Nazis came into power. Hitler ran for presidency in 1932 but failed but this raised his profile hugely. He used films, radio and records, this is how he brought his message to millions; he travelled to all parts of Germany to lay down his message. He was known to be someone who knew and understood his or her problems.
Hitler dealt swiftly and efficiently with the threat to his position from within the Nazi party, Hitler knew that it would be dangerous for him to upset army leaders; they could be a focus of opposition, at times, when these leaders articulated their concerns about the SA as a threat to the Army, Hitler showed them that he could act ruthlessly. On June 1934, he rounded up around 85 SA leaders and shot them, the reason for his act was that they wanted to overthrow the government. This also showed others that Hitler regime was not a joke and was a serious matter; in fact it was merciless in its use of force, whenever it had been threatened by an outlaw.
To deal with this further, after Hindenburg’s death, all army personnel had to swear allegiance or an oath of loyalty to Hitler personally. So whoever was regarded a threat by the Nazi party or by Hitler, were dealt with heartlessly.
Hitler came in power by his Propaganda such as his speeches, which gathered a great crowd and his posters and pamphlets that were any German citizen could find everywhere they caught the eyes of the Germans. He relied on slogans instead of detailed politics.
To conclude, there are many reasons why Hitler came into power. He conveyed his message properly, he also enforced rules that allowed no-one to overthrow him, he had promised to benefit the people of Germany greatly by cancelling the Treaty of Versailles and giving Germany back their land and freedom.
