The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany

by William L. Shirer

Hitler was shrewd enough to see that his trial, far from finishing him, would provide a new platform from which he could not only discredit the compromised authorities who had arrested him but—and this was more important—for the first time make his name known far beyond the confines of Bavaria and indeed of Germany itself.

It seems like the playbook for well known politicians today

It is not by incitement… and not by threats against the helpless part of the nation but only by talking things over with people that confidence and devotion can be maintained. People treated as morons, however, have no confidence to give away…

The overwhelming majority of Germans did not seem to mind that their personal freedom had been taken away, that so much of their culture had been destroyed and replaced with a mindless barbarism, or that their life and work had become regimented to a degree never before experienced even by a people accustomed for generations to a great deal of regimentation.

It didn't directly effect the day-to-day life of the average German. They still had their jobs and homes, and their previous experience with government was not stable. Of course they were unbothered by the new dictatorship.
