German Support of Nazi Rule

"Recalling the Nazi rule, it can be said certainly: German society as a whole does not oppose the anti-Semitism of the regime." We believe that most of society is affected by one human being and his rules It is difficult. Hitler was a very attractive person who influenced thousands of Germans against German Jews. Many people may even be friends, neighbors, and even married families. Anti-Semitism suddenly took over society and enacted laws against Jews.

Most Germans have more moderate prejudices before the rule of the Nazis. Many people more readily support the abstract 'Jewish' strategy than visible persecution and physical harm caused by Jewish neighbors or businessmen with long-term relationship with them can do. As a result, the average German had restricted support for the nationwide boycott of Jewish companies on April 1, 1933, and many Germans had no duty on November 9 to 10, 1938 Shocked by unprecedented violence and destruction of the Kristallnacht massacre. The success of foreign policy which restored Germany's position as the broad support of many German Nazi regimes during economic improvement, the popularity of Hitler as a strong leader, and the major power after the humiliation of the 1930s Tolerance or tolerance of policies that promoted anti-Semitism towards Nazi.

In addition to the success of domestic and international policies of the administration, the use of terrorism in Nazi society is also important to understand why most Germans adhere to Nazi rule. The legitimate view on the role of Gestapo, as represented by historians such as Jackel and Hill Gruber, suggests that Germany's secret policy covers every aspect of society and that most Germans are arrested and interrogated They are afraid and they are afraid of repentance. . However, recent research prove that this judgment is wrong. "Fear ... not the sin of the myths of the masses, indiscriminate fear" (Johnson). For example, in the Cologne region, Gestapo has only one officer per 10,000 to 15,000 inhabitants (according to Johnson). Nazi 's terrorism is directed only to those who have been condemned by opposition groups and Nazi ideologies. When ordinary, non-Jewish, heterosexual Germans are inspected by Gestapo, they are usually treated generously and are hardly punished.

Due to the fear of intrusion by Gestapo, most Germans did not follow the rule of the Nazis; they were consistent due to their political appeal of their national and international policies. On the other hand, the minority groups targeted by the Nazi ideology and those who did not succeed victims were forced to comply with the Nazi rule. According to Johnson and Gellately, the minority is mainly exposed to condemnation. Many ordinary Germans won by Nazi ideology which reports suspicious behavior to Gestapo, including homosexuality and sympathy for the Jewish predicament. In fact, almost everyone who is not publicly supporting the regime is being condemned by at least one neighbor.
