I ask this question because in my high-school European history class, I was told that Hitler was popularly supported by the German people at many points during his rule due to the Great Depression and the Treaty of Versailles and how he turned the German economy around and basically just a propaganda state.
When I mentioned this later in my college history class, my professor seemed horrified by the idea and quickly dismissed it saying there was "no evidence" of it. He avoided any further answer on the subject. He told us that he was Jewish when we started talking about Hitler and he had a strong French heritage, so of course a Jew with French lineage would understandably bear a grudge against Hitler. But his answer didn't satisfy me, mainly because he replied angrily to it and didn't go into any detail other than dismissing it as 'ridiculous'.
So I ask here in hope of finding the truth, as Google has failed me.
