Why The Nazi Party Gained Power

br - Why the Nazi Party Gained Power Historians put a great deal of their focus on the Nazi party when they discuss events like the Holocaust and World War II . Everyone knows that Hitler and his bunch were demented , evil , and overbearing , but rarely does one question how they came into power . After all , it did not happen just by accident .
