Nazis-- he had a lot of followers who helped him disgustingly kill innocent Jews, no matter if they were old,pregnant or little babies. Also why did he have problems with gay ppl, Jews and priests?

Hitler was a socialist, and problems he had with gay people, Jews, etc. were that their lifestyles and choices were not good for the society he wanted. Jews, it was/is considered, controlled the money as per banking and other things, hence the stereotype of the greedy Jew, and Hitler did not think that people who horded money would be very likely to join in socialism.
So people supported socialist ideals and thus Hitlers actions. They didn't see Jews as innocent so they didn't think it was wrong to behave that way.
Just wiki Hitler and read about his viewpoints and it'll explain alot.

Not all Nazis worked for him out of choice. Sometimes they were forced to and if they refused they were shot. Now, if that person who was being forced to be a Nazi had a HUMONGOUS heart, then they would give up their lives rather than being a Nazi. But I'm afriad not many did.
A lot of people also agreed with Hitler. They thought their religion was the only one. The funny thing is, though, Hitler and lots of Nazis thought the only people who deserved to live had to have blond hair and blue eyes-but Hitler didn't have blond hair OR blue eyes and I'll bet most of the Nazis didn't, either. But that's not the point. The point is, people thought that God didn't want gays to live, that Jews had a "bad" and "strange" religion, and that preists weren't meant to live. None of that is true, though, but another point is, the war is long over, and I'm certainly glad it is! Think of all the people that suffered for no reason at all. The world wouldn't be the same without the variety of people we have-it would be a lot worse.

Your first question--why did people support Hitler: The League of Nations after WWI levied such punitive consequences upon Germany, that it left the people impoverished. And, importantly shamed. Hitler came and championed the German people; brought them pride and improved standard of living. Jews have been pursecuted since the beginning of Christian time, and this was an avenue that Hitler really played upon: the money and accomplishments of the Jewish people and focused the Germans in on hatred and unity against a certain defenseless population. The destruction of the Jews was kept relatively undercover until most of the population was prospering and behind Hitler. Hitler was trying to "purify" the German race into the "master race" and was ruthless and diabolically systematic at it!!

No matter how much you hate Hitler as anyone does (I do, trust me)--
He had amazing oratory skills that persuaded people left and right. If you can deliver a really good speech, people will fall over you. He was known for having a magician help him become a good orator (speaker) to persuade thousands of people to follow him.
Also, like someone above said, some didn't have a choice while they just wanted to live.

The hungry, desperate, and ignorant people sometimes feed and survive just on the emotion of hate. To paraphrase John Lennon, in Hitler's time, "hate is all you need!"

It's because they were deluded. Just like people are deluded in supporting Hillary Clinton.

some people actually believed the sick s.o.b was right,others simply feared for their lives if they did not act to support him.
