When Hitler’s Nazi party failed in its coup d’état, it turned to “democracy” to seize power. The crisis of the 1930s strengthened the #Nazi discourse. The #German people, who suffered from unemployment, hunger, poverty and destitution, began to demand changes and in the absence of popular and democratic alternatives, they began to view the Nazis favorably.

In the parliamentary elections of 1930, Hitler’s party won 18% of the vote, but was still considered a marginal force. While this was happening, the Nazis manipulated the hopes, fears and prejudices of the citizens. Along with this, they placed all responsibility for the situation on Jews and communists.
