To what extent was the rise of the Nazi Party to power

 

("Revolution would follow power, rather than achieve it" ).
             Hitler was leader of this party, the largest party in 1933 that also had the support of many of the conservative right who had dominated Germany politically since 1929. Hitler was able to appeal directly to each class and sector within the population by making specific pledges calculated individually. He also used other policies, which corresponded, in his nationalist offensive against the Treaty of Versailles, he made emphasis on the need for German expansion and also highlighted the need to identify "race enemies" like the Jews. This approach that Hitler gave, made the Nazi Party, the only in the Weimar Republic able to appeal to all sectors of the population. The whole process was carried out by means of an effective propaganda machine that was organized by Goebbles and delivered to the people by a style of oratory that singled Hitler out of the more staid politicians in the Weimar. Hitler had the ability to turn the negatives into positives and to turn resentment against the Republic into support for the Nazi party. Middle classes made up the largest proportion of Nazi support, many which had abandoned their normal parties to support the Nazi movement. It is said that this happened after 1929 and that it was a direct consequence of the Great Depression. The population had a psychological blow that made them move away from the moderate to the more radical parties in this case, to the Nazi party. The older section of the middle class is thought to have been supporting the Nazis before the Great depression although it had an additional huge support from the newer middle class that aligned with the Nazis after the Great depression. The fact is that the Nazi Party only secured 12 seats in the Reichstag elections of 1928 and then became the largest party in the Reichstag in 1933 so the Great depression is considered to be the reason for the middle class to appeal for the Party.
