There were several factors that led to Germany accepting Hitler as their leader. First, a great deal of the hardship Germany had endured had emanated from the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler promised to get rid of the treaty. He also restored Germany's nationalistic pride, and produced a viable economic system.

They didn't when the Nazi Party first appeared on the political scene in the 1920's. It wasn't until the 30's that the party began to gather momentum and supporters. Even so, in the 1932 presidential election, Hitler gained only about 30% of the national vote. 1933 - when he was appointed chancellor - was when things really started to change.

During the Great Depression, Germany was struck as hard as many areas of the United States were. German citizens subsequently did the same thing as Americans did - they looked for a strong and determined leader to pull them out of the crisis. And it wasn't just Germany who found Hitler inspiring. In a begrudging letter to the dictator, Winston Churchill (British PM) wrote:

"I have always said that I hoped if Great Britain were beaten in a war we should find a Hitler who would lead us back to our rightful place among nations."

Another reason he was accepted by Germany was the fact that they held the same anti-Semitic values that he did. Germany had a long and drawn out hatred for the Jews stemming all the way back to the 1600's. But Germany was not the only country that felt this way. When Hitler offered to let German Jews escape, the United States used Immigration policy to send them away. A well known example of this was the SS St. Loius, which was turned away from several Southern Atlantic ports in the US and sent back to Germany, where nearly every Jew on the boat was killed.

The next reason that the German people supported Hitler was the fear of Communism, which he promised to wage war against. Ever since the chaos of WW1 lead to the Russian Revolution, Germany faced the ever present danger of a war with Russia (a threat which materialized for East Germans at the end of the war).

There are other reasons that Germany supported Hitler ad a leader, but I don't want to go into too much detail. I recommend you read the article below for more information.

Because Hitler told the German people what they wanted to hear, he told them that he could bring change into Germany (which he did) and that the Jews were the reason that Germany was in bad shape. In other words the German people wanted somebody to blame for all their problems, and Hitler gave it to them.

Many Germans accepted Hitler as their ruler because like FDR in the US and Mussolini in Italy and other politicians in other countries they made promises to fix the problems of the worldwide Great Depression that was so severely affecting the people of their countries. Germany had been experiencing this Depression since the early 1920s, but it spread slowly through Europe and the rest of the world, reaching the US in 1929. All of these leaders took power at about the same time and actually did solve many of these problems, confirming to the people that they had made the correct choice of leadership,
