People seem to forget Nazi stands for National Socialist Workers' party of Germany . Hitler did indeed buy his way into the hearts of the German working class.

He used a potent mix of mass marketing, economic improvements, shameless demagoguery, feverish nationalism and racial prejudice.

In fact, one of the commonly stated reasons why German had not achieved a full war economy before 1944 was Hitler's reluctance to have the German people's standard of living fall

But the fact is, Hitler gained critical support from the business and upper classes by promising to fight against Bolshevism, which at the time was their biggest concern.
