Keep in mind that Nazi Germany lasted a mere twelve years (1933-1945), during half of which Germany went through the most horrific war in modern history. Unless you were one of the few privileged elite, you lived a miserable life as your cities were flattened and you had to struggle to find enough to eat. If you were a man, you were likely to be sent to the Russian front, never to return. With the possible exception of a few years just after the Nazis came to power, you would have most likely suffered immensely during the Nazi regime, no matter how much you toed the line.

You might be interested in "Defying Hitler" by Sebastian Hoffner. His account of that time, written in 1939, shows what life was like for a fairly prosperous family.

One of the interesting things he points out is that following WW1, the "rules" of how things should work were very unstable, in that old school families became poor, upstarts became rich, people who tried to play fair lost, and those who cheated won. Plus, you had demonstrations and street fighting between the Nazis, socialists, and communists. When Hitler came to power, this settled down; stable periods of calm are always good for businesses - you know the rules and can plan out for the future.

Of course, you still had to watch quietly as people were persecuted, (communists, jews, Social Democrats, Christian Democrats etc.).

According to the book "The wages of destruction", the standard of living in Germany at the time were shockingly poor compared to their American or British counterparts. Simple consumer goods like radios would be a large potion of a person's salary, housing is small and cramped, and things like cars are well out of the reach of the ordinary German.

Due to constant issues with getting foreign exchange, even pre-war, the normal German citizen didn't have access to much in the way of imported goods.
