I`m asking more about if the US liked hitler, I already know the nazi's did.

Answer 1

Hitler was very popular in Germany. It's well known that he implemented many effective economic plans, but what most people don't understand is why his anti-Jewish sentiments were so popular. No politically correct teacher will ever spend class time telling you why the Germans didn't like the Jews, so let's have a brief overview:

Furthermore, the Jews had a long history of taking advantage of the German people. When Germany was suffering from high inflation, Jews from eastern European countries flooded the country, buying up homes and valuables from people who were forced to sell just to feed their families. The German people were left with nothing except resentment, having watched their families possessions fall into the hands of outsiders.

Jews also dominated politics and most other lucrative and influential professions (doctors, lawyers, bankers, university professors, etc), often comprising 25%, 40%, sometimes even greater than 50%, of the people in these professions. Naturally, the Jews worked for the good of the Jewish community, not for the good of the Germans. The Jews never saw themselves as Germans and they did not share or even respect the same cultural values and customs that the Germans held dear. Simply put, they were undermining the unique things that defined Germany. The Jews did not abide by "live and let live", again creating resentment among the Germans, who felt their country was being stolen from them.

Last, but not least, the worldwide Jewish community was boycotting Germany and Jewish leaders literally declared war on Germany, encouraging Jews who lived in Germany to undermine the state. This, by the way, was six years before the actual outbreak of WWII.

By this time, the Jews had really become a thorn in the side of the Germans and a leader who recognised the problems they were causing and pledged to fix things was welcomed. The Germans wanted, and desperately needed, someone who was pro-German and was going to work for the good of German people.

Answer 2

Hitler was very popular in Germany. Germany was facing a severe economic crisis and Hitler's work programs (Through which the first highways were built) - were seen as a salvation to many.

But in foreign countries as well, Hitler had admirers. In the United States, for example, a significant portion of the business class thought Hitler's program would be a good thing for the American economy and would help industry. In fact, Adolf Hitler was Time Magazine's man of the year in 1938.

Answer 3

Hitler was extremely popular and had the support of the German people right up to the end of the war. Through his charismatic personality and effective propaganda and early successes with the economy and war effort Hitler developed a "cult of personality." This lasted until his death in April 30, 1945. Until then he was iodolized by the majority of the German people.

Answer 4

Yes, Hitler was greatly admired by many people in the 1930s, when he rose to power. He was first elected to the position of Chancellor of Germany, so you know he had to be popular! Why was he popular?

1. He proposed ways of getting Germany out of the horrible economic mess they were in as a result of the reparations they had to pay at the end of WWI. This included keeping German workers busy by building a system of roads called the Autobahn, among other things.

2. He gave Germans a scapegoat for their problems in the form of the Jews. He told the Germans there was nothing wrong with them--they were Aryans, the "master race". He filled them with a sense of superiority to others, which many people liked.

3. He had good PR--he was a vegetarian, was photographed leaving church, kissing children.

4. He promised working class Germans more money for having more children. He stressed the importance of the German family, while at the same time putting down women, saying their place was "Kueche, Kinder, Kirche" (kitchen, children, church). This mysogeny appealed to many.

One interesting note: fascism always promoted big business. At one time Hitler had an autographed photo of Henry Ford on his desk, and Ford had one of Hitler on his desk. So not all of Adolph's fans were German.

Answer 5

Yes, Hitler was liked by the German Nazi's who didn't care that he stood for racism. He was well-known as a racist at the time of his election to power. His was most famous for reviving the German economy, but his most racist plan for doing this was to remove the Jewish bankers from the system and take their money and possessions for the German war machine. He was evil from the beginning to those who understood what he stood for.

By the way, being Time Magazine's man of the year doesn't mean someone was "admired". Time's criteria for their choice of "man of the year" is, "Who made the biggest change in the world at the time...positive or negative".

As for his popularity in America, Charles Lindbergh was a well-known nazi-sympathizer living in America at that time. He was well known to most Americans at the time as an evil dictator and was NOT popular among most Americans.

Answer 6

Are we meant to be scared into answering the question in some way that you want? How might want to Obama be like Hitler? One international authorities(his)? tremendous speaker electrifying tremendous crowds. Demented. Racist? i imagine so. Remeber the reverend and the theology and the thesis? Does all and dissimilar see any more effective parralles yet? keep in ideas Hitler always claimed to have the welfare of the German human beings at heart. All of his moves did not unavoidably exhibit that.

Answer 7

He was liked or rather respected for a lot longer than a while. He was elected by the people of Germany, as a saviour of their poor economy, and their hero/idol. People still viewed him as an able leader even after the concentration camps were built.

Answer 8

Hitler and the National Socialists were freely elected by the German people. One of the grave lessons of World War II is that societies can freely choose to surrender their freedom when they are afraid of economic deprevation or foreign menances.

Read Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here". "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" is another great read.

Answer 9

Yeah he was liked. He was adored, admired and respected by Nazi Germany.

You need to ask your teacher to clear up your question.

Answer 10

He couldn't have become what he did if he wasn't liked. Consider the German Auto-Ban is the best in the world they say and he had it built! No one is purely black& white all me have good and bad points.
