Pre-propaganda was incredibly important in the rise of the NAZIs. Before the Nazi's there was the 16 year Weimar republic, however complications such as there were so many groups inside the republic, everyone had their own agendas and no one was willing to compromise with decisions, the German public saw that their government was failing.
When Hitler and the NAZI's started campaigning in the mid to late 1920s, the view they offered was incredibly appealing to the German public and it made them feel that the NAZIs were their only chance to rescue their crumbling government and save their economy.
As the depression kicked in and as Germany realized that they were broke, embarrassed and seeking an extreme way of fixing the problem quickly. When the Nazis started campaigning they promised to free Germany of its ills such as communism, liberalism and capitalism. The Nazis appealed to th general public because they blamed German problems on Marxism, said it was the Jews fault and promoted the idea of race and space which brought forth the idea of uniting the purified German people and bring forth the Aryans race.
Because people were so desperate and the Nazis offered a way out, something to blame and promoted the idea of the Nazis being their saviour in their propaganda pictures it was appealing to the public. They didn't agree with the anti-Semitism but they were attracted to the idea of being united and being ridded of its problems that the Nazis were promising to fix.
