Nazi Ideology

How Hitler gained support from Nazi ideology?

Hitler had always been against socialist ideas, particularly those who are involved in racial or sexual equality. He renamed his party the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) so that those who had German blood are favoured equally by him. Hitler presented promises and ideology to the Germans which results in him gaining popular support.

 

Germany’s economy was in such a poor state that Hitler’s promise of strong government and stability was widely supported and not least by industrialists. By attacking Jews in the world of business, Hitler appealed to their non-Jewish rivals.Hitler’s plans to re-arm Germany were also popular. By recruiting a large army and building a whole new navy and air force, he would be able to reduce unemployment. With so many people out of work, this was an appealing prospect. Hitler promised to expand into Russia and Poland to create Lebensraum or 'living space' for Germany in the east. Therefore, Hitler gained support from the Germans.
