The Germans were used to winning wars, 1870 etc. They had faith in their army and the Kaiser. When they lost, it wasn't because they lost, but because the referees cheated them. The is was because of some nefarious actors at home. Hitler managed to focus that on Kews, "Rums", foreisngers, communists, etc. So, now they had groups they could blame for their loss, and poor economy, etc.
Hitler put people to work, someteimes it was "make work", but it was paid work. He talked a Big Game and fed the Germans ideas they would mostly relish while overlooking excesses they figured his underlings did. He closed Germany, mostly, to imports. Then he started making martial moves, remilitarizing the Thineland, repudiating Versalles, the Anschluss ... things were rolling now, who needed elections?
I've read that when WW 2 started in 1939, the cheering crowds of 1914 were absent, the people were sullen about it. Things were good, why go to war? That changed in a month, and then changed again in May 1940.
