Why didn't grumbling lead to open opposition?

  • The question could also be "Why didn't another party take over?".
  • There was great fear of the SS they could destroy peoples lives so they were afraid to speak out.
  • Censorship - people didn't know exactly what the Nazis were doing and what their plans were. Extreme policies kept a secret.
  • Opposition was divided - They didn't trust each other to group against the Nazis - they were disorganised.
  • Votes - people had voted Hitler in so they could only expect him to do what he wanted.
  • Unpopular policies - policies that people did complain about were dropped.
  • In general people were pleased with the Nazis.
