Germany suffered when American banks demanded loan repayments given to them since 1924.

Many companies in Germany went bankrupt and by 1932 6 million people were unemployed. Many people became homeless, this was a social problem that HItler could target.

 As the problems got worse, support for etremist parties increaed. The Nazis apealed to agricultural and unemployed workers. 

The Nazi party spread their messages through posters, pamphlets and Nazi controlled newspapers through effective slogans such as 'one leader.One nation'.

In 1929 Goebbels was appointed head of propaganda within the Nazi party. This showed the part was efficient and organised. Goebbels exploited both modern and old means of communication effectively, better than any other political party.
