Answer:

The Growth of the Nazi Party

Step-by-step explanation:

After the first world war, the Treaty of Versailles essentially put the blame onto Germany for starting the war. Their military was reduced to an army of 100,000 voluntary recruits and their navy and air force suffered greatly as well. They also lost a good deal of territory and were in a great deal of debt. The German economy was suffering and as a result, so were the German people.

To put it simply, Hitler racked up followers incredibly quickly due to the wounded German pride. People did not feel proud to be German and Hitler changed that, promised that what had been taken would be given back. He promised change and gave them hope again, which increased his support greatly.

If you're referring to the military aspect of it, Hitler enforced a conscription law in 1939 that obligated all men 18 and up to enlist in the army. This grew their numbers from a sad 100,000 to 550,000 men. This militarization was forbidden and spread unease throughout Europe.
