The paper also describes how Hitler used propaganda and efficient organizational methods to generate support for his leadership as well as how he was able to use the worldwide depression of the times to further advance his goals.

From the Paper:

"The Weimar Republic had inherent weaknesses, which combined with economic strife and early political challenges to create a high level of instability. This allowed radical political groups to rise to prominence and Hitler's forceful Nazi Party was especially able in making an impact by exploiting the Republic's weaknesses. At the end of World War I Germany underwent a rapid political restructuring. Following this transition from authoritarian monarchy to democratic republic, Weimar Germany immediately began to display weaknesses that it could never fix. Clouds surround the way democracy was instituted, there were flaws in the constitutional and party system, and the republic had difficulty in gaining acceptance for many reasons."
