Germany was economically desperate and devastated from the aftermath of WW I. Why do you think many Germany’s followed Hitler’s murderous plans so blindly and committed unspeakable evil for the Nazi cause?
   

Germany was brought to the point of economic desperation after WW I. Therefore, their sense of morality faded. Hitler promised to recharge the economy and the pride of Germany. Therefore, they followed him blindly and committed evil in the name of his cause. They were brainwashed by the Nazi propaganda and bigotry that Hitler propagated.
