Summary
This article has some good information about how Hitler got followers. It talks about how he was different from other leaders and that he used different methods of gaining followers than those other leaders.

Main Evidence
Hitler's power was based on the unconditional allegiance of the population. The Germans put their trust in Hitler. And that is how he was able to make his worldview, his politics, his hate, his war, and his crimes those of an entire nation.

Hitler gained German's trust when times were tough and they feared the future. They had trusted Hitler because he gave them hope and a sense of stability and they thought that if they stopped doing as he said it would end badly for them.

Fallacy
None

Response
Though he was only doing it to eventually do a lot of evil, it was a smart way to gain a lot of staunch followers.

Source
It was a good source because it told about how he gained followers. I would suggest it to other people because it helped me and was easy to follow.
