Most Germans weren't able to see him up close, but they could hear him on the radio. Hitler's effective use of radio for propaganda prompted Sisley Huddleston, in his book Popular Diplomacy and War (Rindge, NH: R. R. Smith, 1954) to call Hitler the real inventor of radio.
Of course President Roosevelt used the radio well too but in a very different manner. His fireside chats insured his reelection in spite of the continuing economic depression.
Both FDR and Hitler rose to power in 1933 and both died in April of 1945.
