After WWI, Germany fell into an awful economic rut - one US dollar was worth about 40 million German marks, at one point; Germans felt wronged by the Treaty of Versailles; and the French had set up a new government in Germany (the Reichstag), which was democratic.

The Nazis promised a return to glory and pride, as well as economic success. They said that Germans were superior to other ethnicities, appealing to Germans' feelings of abuse. Although Germans did know that the Nazis were anti-Semitic, anti-Semitism had been prevalent in society for a long time.

Also, Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis, was very charismatic, and was persuasive - if not charming - while giving speeches.

The Nazis were elected into the Reichstag (although not by majority), starting their steady climb in power in Germany.
