Here's an interesting 5-part article from Der Spiegel that tackles the question as to why the Germans embraced Hitler. "Führer propaganda and military success soon turned him into an idol. The adulation helped make the Third Reich catastrophe possible."
There were many reasons: media manipulation, inflaming the masses, finding stereotypes to blame for everything... Even though long, it's worth the read. I recommend that, after reading the Der Spiegel piece, one should read Andrew Bostom's Hitler and Muhammad piece.
