Maybe, maybe not, but you could consider the figures for (a) the Nazi vote in the 1933 election; (b) the aggregate vote for the other conservative nationalist parties in the same election; and (c) the peak membership of the NSDAP and its associated organisations. And how many Germans applauded the
Anschluß, the annexation of the Sudetenland and the conquests of 1939–40? Like it or not, Nazism had massive support when things seemed to be going well for it but a lot of those people were very anxious to disavow their former enthusiasm after the tide turned.
