Who Voted for Hitler?
First off, just a little comic relief. I have to read a book as part of my bibliography for an essay on Weimar Germany/rise of the Nazis and it made me smile. The title page says:
WHO VOTED FOR HITLER? not me
and then an arrow pointing to: 'me neither'
Anyway now the serious bit, especially for the history students on this board. Who did vote for Hitler and why?
By that I mean, what do you know of this phenomena: coercion versus consent, propaganda, elimination of opposition
reasons:
economic crises, imperial ambitions
Just thought it might be interesting to discuss a story from people's own knowledge. Then again it might not be, but oh well.
