The Great Depression destroyed the German economy so fully that Germans were willing to elect almost anyone who promised a better economic future; so this is what Hitler promised. When Hitler was elected, he used the powers of the government to completely up-end it.

The Great Depression had a significant impact on Germany politically. The economic crisis fueled widespread discontent and desperation among the German people, leading to a rise in support for extremist political parties such as the Nazi Party. This ultimately allowed Adolf Hitler to exploit the situation and gain power, leading to the establishment of a totalitarian regime and ultimately World War II.
The Great Depression hit Germany particularly badly as many areas of the economy were dependent on short-term loans from abroad, especially the U.S., and these were not renewed. When the Great Depression struck the process of government became increasingly unwieldy, and from October 1930 onwards the Chancellor relied to a large extent on rule by decree. The country also became increasingly polarized. It lack a broadly based 'conventional' right-wing party, and the popularity of the Nazi party rose sharply.
