From the Paper:

"The Great Depression in the early 1930's was one of the main reasons contributing to Hitler's success. The Weimar government was not able to standup to the economic crisis, which left millions of German's without job. People who so far showed little interest in politics were lending their ears to new radical parties in the hope of an economic revival. There was an intense yearning for a leader of the status of "Kaiser" and the instability of the Weimar republic provided a fertile ground for Hitler and his Nazi party. The policies of the Nazi party attracted the German people who saw it as the only hope in chaotic situation. One of the main points of action promised by the Nazis was the reunion of the German people who were segregated from the mainland due to the implications of the treaty of Versailles."
