How did Hitler come to power?
Hitler recieved a 5 year prison sentence, but prison was comfortable and he was let out after a year. He wrote the book 'Mein Kampf'.
He believed that he had to destroy democracy by first using democracy himself to be elected. Then transforming the country into a dictatorship.

"I can now use Hitler's popularity and take advantage of it. Many other experienced politicians can easily control him and do this too."
The Reichstag was the parliment building in Germany.
Hitler blamed the communists so he can use them as a scapegoat for the peoples support for his dictatorship.

Why did people support Hitler? Hitler promised the people what they wanted to hear fro a politician. Even though his views were extreme. People were willing to support him.
If Hitler used Jews and Communists then he could promise the people that he can 'sort the problem out'. Therefore people will vote for him as he is the only one promising them against this pretend threat.
Hitler offered poorer people such as Farmers higher prices for their produce, and the Unemployed were gaurenteed a job in the building industrial. As well as the less fortunate, he gaurenteed the Middle Class people the restore of the profits from small business. This was to restore their savings. This got Hitler a vote from every class.
