I agree with this analysis but I dont think in the earl 30s Hitler enjoyed that muc support even in the later elections the nazis only enjoyed support among 30% of the population... 70% were either indifferent or not interested in voting for the nazi party. In fact Hitler had no choice but to curb and dismantle the government to take power. He did not sieze power on a mandate but through skillful use of the conservative wing of the German government to his advantage given the communist hysteria that had gripped the nation and then let loose a series of events such as the fire to seize emergency powers for himself in the position of chancellor and then using those powers to outlaw all other parties. That was how he came to power.. not by popular mandate.Of course, that is from late in the war when it was obvious Hitler had lead the country into disaster. If you had a similar poll in summer 1940 to summer 1941, the pro-Nazi percentages would be much higher.
We need to distinguish between members of the Nazi party and supporters of Hitler's regime. Hitler was extremely popular. He could not have become leader of Germany with so few challenges otherwise. By 1941, Hitler had overturned Versailles, restored Germany to its status as a great power, restored economic prosperity for most Germans, and defeated France. When Germany went to war against the Soviet Union, it was met with immense public support that the war with the West was not. Anti-Bolshevism was a very popular cause - the "right war" even opponents of the regime could support.

be warned, it is not a fun read
Ah that reminds me of fond memories of seeing good old pope benedict being active at work.
Who said the hitlerjurgen was bad for future job prospects?
Someone was bound to recognise his dedication to his job since he refused to leave his post all the way up to 1945.
Indeed. I never bought a book and stopped reading it...other than that one. Super boring.
