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.
