How the Germans Fell Into the Nazi Trap

During the depression the rich were poor, and the poor were really poor.  Where was there to go except up?  Why were people willing to join the Nazi party?  There are really two main reasons.

First of all they wanted to believe that the Nazis could help.  They said sure the Nazis can create financial balance.  Sure they can make everyone happy.  Sure, it is the Jewish people faults we’re all broke.  Why wouldn’t they believe it?  They were completely surrounded by Nazi propaganda.

Secondly it was the man behind, and in front of the Nazi party, Hitler.  He was a great public speaker, convincing people of his views.  He was like a charismatic, religious figure; whatever he says must be true.  How could it not be?  He had a hypnotizing aura about him.  He was one of those natural leaders who people instinctively follow because they see him as strong.

I don’t think under these circumstances people really had any other choice.  As I said before they had nowhere else to turn, everyone else had failed them.  During extreme times people take extreme stances on extreme issues.  It’s just simple human nature, the way we are.

The propaganda of the Nazi parties holocaust timeline was working great.  People saw the mask and thought it was what was true.  They blamed the Jewish people.  They thought the Nazis could save them.  No one can deny that the Nazi propaganda was convincing, if it wasn’t then so many people would not have been taken in by it.

This section is another good example of good people falling prey to evil people.  Why do we seem to not be able to see through these people?  It’s one of the great mysteries of mankind.
