  6. Hitler seduces the German People • Hitler was an extremely popular leader • While the rest of the world was going through the great depression, Hitler offered his people good jobs (building weapons and Highways), a strong economy, social programs (like free vacations), ethnic price and a national purpose. • Hitler specifically targets children and brings Nazism to schools and creates mandatory after school programs • Even Germans who felt uncomfortable with all the militarism, propaganda, rallies and racial hatred (towards Jews and others) supported Hitler because life was better with him in power
