Using propaganda and charismatic oratory, he appealed to the economic needs of the lower and middle classes, while sounding resonant chords of nationalism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism. With the establishment of a restructured economy, a rearmed military, and a totalitarian and fascist regime, Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy with the intention of expanding German Lebensraum ("living space"). This triggered World War II when Germany annexed Austria, the Czech lands, and invaded Poland, much of which was also annexed to form the "Greater German Reich" (Großdeutsches Reich).

Hitler achieved for Germany what no one else had. He unified the nation and brought the German economy back on track..
When Hitler rose to power, Germany had massive war debs from WWI that had led to incredble inflation. It was once stated that if you had a rusty wheelbarrow filled with 100,000 in DM notes, that a thief would dump the money and steal the wheelbarrow. Through his war machine, Hitler brought full employment which was good for the German citizens and help to keep him in power. Before Hitler, there were constant disputes between the various Baronies that formed Germany. Hitler brought an end to the disputes by playing upon the anti semitism that had been common in easter Europe for centuries and casting the Jewish people in the role of enemy.
It was mainly for these reasons that Hitler stayed in power.

Interesting note. Hitler was born in Austria, and would have died homeless on the streets of Vienna had it not been for the charity of an elderly Jewish couple, who gave him free room and board and even provided clothes for him.
He opted for German citizenship, soon entered politics and worked his way into the higest levels of the German government where he became a dictator after the Reichstag was set on fire by arsonists. It is now believed that Hermann Goering actually set the fire.

Recently the German government has begun considerations for revoking Hitler's German citizenship posthumously.

personality disorder, could not bear dependency from others, compulsive control needs.

May be similar to Saddam Hussein and Stalin.

So in principle the main and deepest reason is fear and social inability.
So we see, how important good psychological service is in young adulthood.

I would like to say that German people did not in majority support his endeavours until 1935 (Hitler went public about 1921-1923), when he gained the position of a chancelor.
He then had the power to force German people to follow him by means of terror, which is very similar to Stalin.

He played on the Germans hatred toward the Jews and anyone else that was different than they were. He preached the belief that they were of the master race who was destined to rule those that were inferior in their minds. This is not the Germany of today, but the Germany in which Hitler helped to shape in his sick philosophy.
