How+Hitler+rose+to+power

How Hitler became Germany's leader  When Hitler had enough followers as members of his “ National Socialist German Workers' Party” (Nazi party for short) that he thought that the time was ripe to take control of the weak government only to fail and get thrown in jail. However, because of his cause the authorities grew soft and decided to let Hitler out early. Hitler again attempted to take over the government, except this time it was legal. The government had become so weak from its loss in World War I and the Great Depression that when Hitler promised the people he would restore glory to the country, he won the election and became the chancellor of Germany, thus putting him in charge of the police and the army and allowing him to start the holocaust.
