- Getting a job also meant increased loyalty - people were grateful for employment.
- Many teachers accepted the changed the Nazis imposed
- Many young people were enthusiastic members of the Hitler Youth
- Many teachers accepted the changed the Nazis imposed
- Many women were happy to stay home and welcomed the Nazi's apparent respect for this role for women.
- Many churchgoers were loyal Nazis, e.g. the Reich Church had many members.

- any opposition is clear evidence, they were not 100% successful
- Some young people didn't join the Hitler Youth, and there was some youth opposition groups.
- Some women resented the limits imposed on their freedoms
- Some church goers joined the breakaway confessional Church, whilsy some Churchmen spoke out, eg Galen & Niemoller
