How Germans Became Nazis

I chose to study how the Germans were led to become the homicidal Nazis. While researching this I learned that a string of long war, political upset and nationalism were all a cause of the everyday German becoming a Nazi. Entering World War I there was a strong alliance found amongst all Germans with the sharing of strong nationalism. It broke down barriers between occupation, class and religion. After the Germans lost World War I their country was very shaken up, they lost their unity and they wanted it back. They fought for a political reformation and it came when Adolf Hitler introduced his new party. A party focused on the idea of "Volksgemeinschaft", meaning a community that cut across the lines of occupation, class, and region. It made the Germans comfortable, they really wanted that initial unity that they had prior to the defeat of World War I. Hitler promised this but only if they followed him and became Nazis, although the people disliked their Anti-Semitism they wanted that nationalism and unity back. They shrugged it off to be happy again to be a strong unified country.
