Its simple really, but there were a few contributing factors.  First he eliminated other governments.  Of course you have power, popularity, and other things when there is no one to challenge the things you do.  Hitler successfully achieved this, and I have no idea what lead the other government groups to forfeit their power without so much as a second thought.  I suppose fear is a great motivator. 

I think the Weimar government’s biggest problem laid in their open fear of Hitler and the Nazi’s.  Sure they were scary, but it’s the whole bully theory.  If you stand up to a bully he will leave you alone.  Now we know this is often not the case, but what’s worse, to get beat up for standing up for your self or get beat up for your lunch money.

The Weimar government needed to stop retreating and fight back a little bit, they had the power to stop Hitler, but they let it slip through their fingers.  Someone would have come around eventually with the same thoughts as Hitler and succeeded in implementing them, were Hitler stopped, but better later than now, that’s for sure.

For the future I see many great struggles as long as Hitler is in power.  People might perceive things as getting better, but they won’t, just more propaganda will tell them it is.  Inevitably the Jewish people will be the target of much hate and prosecution, and they will receive little help from inside Germany.  People will have to stick together and rebel against Hitler before anything will get better.  Eventually the wool shall be lifted from people’s eyes, and they will see the wrong of their ways.

Lucky timing undeniably played a big part in the Nazis success.  Holocaust Timing is everything.  The sad part though is, the timing was when people were most willing to hate someone for no good reason.

Through the depression Hitler just did what politicians do best. He told people what they wanted to hear. If you were a farmer, you were doing a great service to your country. If you were a worker, how marvelous your part in the shaping of Germany was, and the only thing standing between you and riches was the government. To the rich he promised more riches, to the hungry food, and so on.

He convinced the un-employed people that he could help them get jobs. The Jewish people are taking your jobs, he probably would have said. How can someone hungry and unemployed not want to believe him? For them he really couldn’t make things any worse. He played to people’s desires and when you tell something they want to believe, a lot of the time they do believe it.

No one really had economic reasons for following Hitler, the American stock market had collapsed, and he couldn’t do anything about it. It just happened. People just weren’t educated enough to realize that. They had been told all their lives to follow without question, and there has never been such a blind faith than people of this time had in Hitler.

Hitler is man that you have to respect, even if you do think he is evil. His ideas have shaped the world more than anyone before him. He could have done the holocaust timeline world a great service but instead he chose evil. What is it that makes evil so attractive, I think it’s the mirage of power that is has. People want what evil has to offer they simply don’t realize that that power is unattainable.

Now Hitler, there was a bad guy. I mean the if the Nazis were jerks then Hitler was the King of the Jerks. What person has ever had so much hate for a group? I think Hitler probably even convinced himself that he was in the right, but I’m sure deep down he knew he wasn’t, I mean he wasn’t stupid. Everyone knew that his ultimate goal wasn’t to bother the Jewish people, or make them feel bad. No, he wanted them dead, and if given the power, and opportunity, then he probably would have killed them all himself. When they arrested him they had many things to look at. Would he threaten the Government through a show of military power? Maybe, he hadn’t done so as of yet, but that doesn’t mean it was beyond him if it came down to it.

There are a few things that could happen if they kept Hitler in jail. Holocaust timeline His radical friends and colleagues could rebel and try to free Hitler from prison. Also if he is jail he could continue to aid the Nazis, even from the inside of a cell, telling them it’s the Jewish people fault he is in prison. No I think the only really good solution is public execution. What’s the worst that could happen? His closest friends might rebel, but not all of them as his death would be very disheartening. I think this would have been the best avenue for the Weimar Government to take.
