Apologies if this has been covered in this group. I searched but couldn’t find it.

If we consider the period of time post-kristallnacht and up until hitler’s suicide, is there any understanding of the proportion of the population that supported the anti-semitism and nationalist beliefs that were at the core of the Nazi party? I take the point of kristallnacht as kind of a point where the propaganda and antisemitic message had taken such a strong grip with the public, this may be the peak of nationalist support.

I understand that to go against these things publicly would result in quick opposing force. In addition, my understanding is that the atrocities in concentration camps were for the most part not shared with the public.

However, is there any understanding about the level of buy in from the German public into the nazi ideals and message, and how it changed over time?
