The Nazis were once “the resistance” too.
The Nazis initially appealed to people by showing up by the truckload to stop crowds like this when the Weimar government was too weak to do so; that is how they made their first appearances. People looked to them to protect private property, businesses, etc.; they went off the rails when they ascribed racial causes for the Bolshevism. Prior to that, few people (besides the communists and anarchists) viewed the Nazis as a bad thing; instead they saw them as a group that would protect the country and their way of life.
