In October 1929 America depression happen which affected worldwide but was hit particularly badly in Germany. Many people lost their jobs because of the depression .people that had lost their jobs suffered from poverty, hunger and homeless. People could not support their families any more because they did not have money. Even those who were protected from the worst of the depression felt its impact in other ways. All of these people were angry and blamed it on the government.
Depression impacted differently to Germans like the businessmen they had less money and was very furious but the businessmen were not hit as badly as workers or farmers. Young people were hit badly because over half of all the Germans between the ages of 16-30 were unemployed. New university graduates could not get a job because of the depression. Farmers had to plough by hand because they could not afford a horse. Prices had been falling since 1925. In 1930s farmers slipped further into debt. 40% of factory workers were unemployed by 1932. For the unemployed this was time of extreme poverty. Many people started to think of voting for Hitler.
In 1928 one year before the depression the Nazis only had 13 people which was nothing. 1930 one year after depression there were the 3rd more powerful. In 1933 four year into depression they have become number one party. This has happen because people have lost their jobs and the German people are losing a lot of money. This lead to an increase of Nazi support.
German people voted Hitler because they needed money because they were unemployed they need to provide money for their families. The German people needed shelter again and this needed money, so people would not become homeless. Middle class people are losing money that’s why there are voting for Hitler. University graduates needs to get a job to earn living for their life. This is why the German people are voting for Hitler to become power.
Propaganda was introduced when Hitler wanted to become in power. The Nazis used images and phrases to manipulate ideas into people’s head so people can start voting. They trained their local groups in propaganda skills and their national leaders were masters of propaganda. They stirred thing up and caused violence at election meetings.
Promise to vote was something for everybody the employers were promised restored profits.
Organisation had been soldiers in the First World War they were very well organised they brought to party work the same obedience organisation and teamwork skills.
I this essay I had to explain why the Germans vote for Hitler and the Nazi part and I think that Hitler should not been voted even if the depression came and people should got control and should maintain the depression instead of getting a killer who kills the Jews.
