Nazi methods to win support

Nazi methods to win support.

1. Nazi policies were deliberately vague in order to attract as many people as possible, including both left and right-wing Germans. They promised different things to different groups of people: Industrialists: Crush the Communists; Working class: Food and jobs; Everybody: Restore German greatness, mainly by overthrowing and humiliating the Treaty of Versailles.
2. The Nazis used propaganda. They used leaflets, posters, SA parades, Nazi newspapers etc. All this served to effectively spread Nazi ideas and weaken support for their rivals.
3. Hitler's powerful speeches exploited people's fears of Communism, unemployment and prejudice (Jews). In his speeches, Hitler promised the German people a new beginning, and to make Germany great again.
4. The Nazis were able to make themselves look more efficient and put-together than other parties, mainly due to the strong impression of the SA (uniforms, throwing big parades in which leader delivered powerful speeches), impressive poster portrayals of the party, and generally fewer impressive democratic competitors.
5. The SA terrorised their opponents, and would break up opposition party meetings during elections, destroy printing presses and spread Nazi propaganda.
6. A large number of the German people were scared of Communism and were persuaded by the Nazi's promises to crush the German Communist Party.
