A number of years ago, I read "The Nazi Seizure of Power" about the experiences of one German town (Northeim) b/ 1922-1945. As I recall, at one point many citizens flocked to the Social Democratic Party when they realized the threat the Nazis posed. I'm curious to know the role that the SPD had in combating the Nazis ideologically, organizationally, and physically and why they weren't ultimately successful.
Also, from the book i got the impression that the people of Northeim were in awe of the Nazis because of their charisma, youth, and confidence in their convictions despite reservations concerning their political beliefs. To what extent did these factors influence the success of the Nazi party?
