Inflation was a problem 10 years before the Nazis took over, and I am pretty sure alleged 'child prostitution' was not a reason for anyone to support the Nazis - except to serve as a post hoc rationalization.
Weimar Germany was a degenerate place, they pioneered Gender Transitions and pedophilia as an acceptable sexuality.
when hyperinflation set in, due to the massive amount of paper money the government had to print to cover war debts and reparations, desperate people did desperate things. Was it rampant throughout Germany? Probably not, just like antifa street battles aren’t a problem in Cincinnati Ohio like in Portland Oregon.
The biggest reason Nazis won was because the far left was just loony, like today, and Liberals voted for the less crazy Nazis. IIRC Hitler didn’t win an election to seize power. After the reichstag fire he was appointed chancellor or PM.
I am not a historian so please don’t take my words as absolute fact, but 1920’s Germany is eerily similar to todays West. I absolutely expect a backlash to the alphabet mafia types.
For most of his life, he operated under the Second Empire.

Unfortunately, that is not true. The 'less crazy' parties (Social Democrats, Catholic Center) were actually losing votes to the more extreme Nazis and Communists.

Actually, he was appointed chancellor before, but he used the Reichstag fire to consolidate a dictatorship - sort of like Stalin later used the Kirov murder.

I partially agree with what you say. But bear in mind that your position seems to be "lunacy is bad because it might lead to people like the Nazis winning" vs. some of the other people who argue that "Nazis were actually good because Weimar was bad".

Bro, just read the wiki on Magnus Hirschfeld.
