All of the things that were done to the Germans in WW1 (territory reduction, military strength reduced, taking the whole of the blame for the war and heavy reparations) were all blamed on the new government. Many people believed they had been stabbed in the back by the government. Thousands of people were on the street and due to inflation the German currency was effectively worthless. It managed to stabilize for a few years then the worldwide depression hit. Unemployment rates rose to 22% in 1930. The people were desperate and afraid of what might come next. This is where the Nazi Party comes in. They offered simple solutions to Germany's problems. The party never got more than 38% of the votes in elections. No party was able to win a clear majority, and without political consensus, successive governments were unable to govern the nation. In 1933 the Nazis were offered to join a coalition government with the current president. One month later when arson was committed on the German parliament building, the Nazi Party seized their chance. Exploiting widespread fears of a communist uprising they blamed communists for the fire and declared emergency rule. President Hindenburg signed a decree that suspended all basic civil rights and constitutional protections, providing the basis for arbitrary police actions. The new government's first targets were political opponents. Under the new decree they could be terrorized, beaten, and held indefinitely.  Leaders of trade unions and opposition parties were arrested. German authorities sent thousands, including leftist members of Parliament, to newly established concentration camps.  many German citizens willingly accepted or actively supported these extreme measures in favor of order and security. Many Germans felt a new hope and confidence in the future of their country with the prospect of a bold, young charismatic leader.
