Why did Nazism become a mass movement during the Great Depression?

Following are the reasons for the growing popularity of Nazism during the Great Depression:
(i) German economy was worst hit by the economic crisis because short-term loans were withdrawn when the Wall Street Exchange crushed in 1929.
(ii) Owing to this, industrial production fell; workers lost their jobs or paid reduced wages. The number of unemployed rose phenomenally high.
(iii) The economic crisis created deep anxieties and fears in people. The middle classes, small businessmen, the self-employed, retailers were the worst hit. These sections of society were filled with the fear of being reduced to the ranks of the working class or of being unemployed.
(iv) In such a situation Nazi propaganda stirred hopes of a better future.
(v) Hitler himself was a great speaker. He promised to build a strong nation, undo the injustices of the Versailles treaty and employment to the people.
(vi)Hitler was projected as a messiah, a savior, as someone who had arrived to deliver people from their distress. (i) Thus, owing to economic and political crises, and coupled with Nazi propaganda, Nazism became a mass movement.
