Hitler promissed economic prosperity to Germans
Hitler appealed to many native Germans because he was an emotional speaker and gave them what they wanted to hear

Well, without consulting any texts I would imagine the final option would be the incorrect one. Hitler did not want much of anything besides his own wants and wills. Conflicting with his ideology would not have been in the interest of anyone close to him wanting to live. Otherwise why would he have started the Hitler Youth? Why so much propaganda within the press to bolster his position?
Fascism and Nazism
Nazism, the political movement led by Adolf Hitler in Germany, is widely viewed as a form of fascism. The Nazis shared the extreme nationalism, militarism, corporatism and anti-communism of the original Italian Fascists, and Hitler initially admired Mussolini, going as far as to copy the Roman salute used by Italian Fascists and make it the basis of the Nazi salute. However, the Nazis added racism and anti-Semitism to the original fascist ideas. The Italian Fascists were not interested in racism at first; nevertheless, they eventually began to pass anti-Semitic laws at the request of their German allies.
For these reasons, racism and anti-Semitism are not seen as necessary elements of fascism, though fascists are held to be particularly willing to adopt these views under the right conditions.
Italian Fascism and German Nazism were loyal allies in World War II, but this had not always been so. In the early 1930s there were tensions between Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany over the increasing possibility of an Austria-Germany merger (Anschluss), which would create a more powerful Greater Germany. In 1934, the Austrofascist Chancellor of Austria, Englebert Dolfuss, was assassinated by Austrian Nazis, who acted on behalf of Hitler.
Furthermore, the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, who is often considered a fascist, remained neutral in World War II. Hitler had supported Franco in his rise to power during the Spanish Civil War, and Franco was sympathetic to the Axis, but he refused Hitler's pleas for military assistance. This situation, together with the period of hostility between Italy and Germany noted above, is sometimes used to support the view that fascist regimes are not natural allies, and that they each tend to follow their own separate interests.

The last one, and if you do not understand that then were are in deep trouble, ( not the word I wanted to use). A free press is vital to democracy, but the press needs to understand that with freedom comes the responsibility to use there great power wisely. The problem at present ( I'm th UK) is that neither the press or politicians can be trusted, and until harmony is returned then Evil will continue to grow.

He did not allow open communication and free press, he ruled all information to the public with an iron fist or in some cases a Luger pistol.

Hitler was a dictator that murdered millions of Jews and non-Nazi followers....Obviously he didn't allow open communtication and free press....had he allowed it then I'm sure the Germans wouldn't have allowed what all happened to happen....
