- Nazi Campaigning Skills/ Hitler
- Nazi Campaigning methods were modern and effective. Generalised slogans rather than detailed policies. Unclear what they stood for so hard to criticise.
- Posters and pamphets found everywhere. Alternative to communists. ** and SA give impression of discipline and orde. Not afraid to change policies to make people happy. Offered emplyment. Hitler was powerful orator.
- Fear of communism
- Many were aware of what was going on under the communist regime in Russia. Communist gangs in Germany were violent and dangerous. The Nazis managed to appeal to all different groups who were scared of the communists.
- Disillusionment with Democracy
- The Weimar politicians seemed unable to tackle the problems of the great depression - bruning had to impose unpopular policies such as raising taxes and cutting government spending. Democracy was seen as weak because to many it was down to the weimar republics surrender that Germany lost the war.
