How did Hitler control so many German people's mind?

Answer 1

The only reason pigs haven't flown yet, is because Hitler never decided to convince them they had wings.

Hitler was brilliant at public speaking, he presented a vision of an all-powerful country, and took steps to show his citizens they could achieve it.

By the time the truth about his intentions was known by anyone, he was fully in power, and there wasn't much anyone could do about it, besides dying a martyr's death, which tens of thousands did.

He used fear like a baker uses dough, only he was more talented at his trade.

Answer 2

I now that part of it was through intimidation,that the nazi party threatened and carried out threats to those that opposed them.partof it was his politcal clout or power he gained when he became chancellor of germany but he had to kill someone first ?he made a deal I think with the prime minister this was after his imprisonment.The deal was made because of the influance of the nazi party whom he led.But it not by any means all intimidation it 's been said that he was very charismatic and here's some Info you won't get anywhere whaen I was a child Imade the mistake of telling my grandmother that "hitler was dumb" well she preceded to take my head off by telling me to"shut your mouth,Hitler was a great man! there was great depression after WW1 and all the money was controlled by the jewish and all the merchants were selling bread at 10 cents a loaf and people were starving!When took over he said"here's bread for 2 cents a loaf"So don't ever let me hear you say that again!"or 5 cents cant remember. Thats not exactly an answer but you can get a better Idea of how it came to happen.Its like a hurricane or other phenomena lots things have to be in the right place at the right time although unlikely,unfortunate or rare they happen.

Answer 3

Hitler didn't 'control' anyone, he simply garnered support like any other politician. Nobody can control someone else, the German people were not blinded. They were whipped into an angry frenzy by economic decline, military defeat and political humiliation. Hitler was the immediate response to that. Britain, France and other European powers more or less blamed Germany for WW1 at Versailles and imposed a massive amount of sanctions, debt and blame on them. Being a proud people, the Germans refused to accept this. They felt their government had stabbed them in the back by signing the treaty and not doing more to lobby for their interests.

The result was a failure of democracy. The Weimar Republic more or less overthrew itself with its own incompetence and irrelevance. Hitler gained support because of the occupation of the Ruhr, the massive recession/hyperinflation and anger over Germany's position in the post WW1 Europe.

Hitler rose to power as a result of nationalism and was able to consolidate power because of pacifism and isolationism. Because of appeasement, the war escalated into a global bloodbath. It really isn't fair to pin all the blame for WW2 squarely on Hitler.

Answer 4

1. The "League of Nations" effectively raped the German economy after World War I, demanding reparations. The German people were angry and were willing to buy into a leader who could turn Germany into an economic superpower.

2. The christian religion has *always* been intolerant of jews for the last thousand years until it saw the concentration camps. Martin Luther, the man who caused the "Reformation" was also a vocal jew-hater and wrote much hate propaganda in the 16th century. Much of that vile "thinking" still reverberated across Europe until anti-semitism reached its inevitable conclusion: the mass murder of jews. The sentiment was always there, and Hitler knew how to nurture it like a sick and twisted flower.

Answer 5

Very easy. A good part of the German culture was already racist against minorities.

They were threatened by how well the Jews were prospering in Germany. So when Hitler came onto the scene it was a natural progression. He didnt need to much convincing.

Answer 6

When Hitler came to power, Germany was in the grip of a horrible economic depression, Hitler promised them a new future with plenty of jobs for the people. When people are hungry and their are very few jobs, they will do almost anything for a better life. And those who weren't convinced that Hitler offered them a new future, they denounced them as unpatriotic and used fear to bring people to their bidding, When people are scared you can get them to do most anything!

Answer 7

Germans were pretty upset over their loss in the first World War, and using that along with establishing a common enemy of the people (Jews, and eventually others) he was able to manipulate his fellow countrymen.

You know, like lying to them to get his country involved in a war by exploiting a certain incident.....hhhhhmmmmmmmmm.

Answer 8

The same way bush has fooled so many people here. Through fear of the "subhumans".
hitler had the Jews, bush has the Muslims.

Answer 9

He was able to control them because they were never taught how to think for themselves - not unlike many of the kids the public schools are producing these days.

Answer 10

Lies, media, secrets.

Many believe our government is like Hitler and the Nazi's, they were the 3rd Reight. Many consider ours the 4th Reight
