My German Youth! After a year, I again greet you. You here today are only a part of what is spread over all Germany. We want you, my German boys and girls to absorb all that we respect about German. We want to be one people and you my youth are to be that people. In the future there must be no ranks or classes and you must not let them to grow in you. We want to see one nation and you must educate yourself selves for it. We want this people to be obedient and you must practice this obedience. We want these people to be peace loving but also to be courageous. You must peaceable and courageous at the same time. We want this nation to be hard not soft and you must steel yourselves for it in your youth. You must learn to accept privations and ever collapse. No matter what we create today or what we do today we will pass away. But a new Germany will live. And when nothing remains of us than you must hold in your fist the flag we tore from nothing. I know this cannot be otherwise because you are flesh from our flesh and blood from our blood. The same spirit that dominates us burns in your young minds. As the columns of our movement sweeps through Germany today then I know you will join with them. And we know around us is Germany—in us Germany marches….and behind us Germany follows."

Final answer:

Hitler was followed due to his persuasive oratory, extensive propaganda campaigns, and anti-Semitic ideology which included the idea of a 'master race'.

Step-by-step explanation:

People followed Hitler for a variety of reasons. First, he was a persuasive orator who used emotional and captivating speeches to inspire and unite the German people under a narrative of national resurgence and overcoming the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles. Second, the propaganda campaigns were meticulously designed to target all sectors of society, promoting a unified national identity and securing loyalty to Hitler's vision of the future. This included indoctrination through education and youth organizations like the Hitler Youth. Lastly, a combination of anti-Semitic ideology and the concept of a 'master race' provided a scapegoat for Germany's problems and offered a sense of superiority and purpose to the population, especially during times of economic hardship and social upheaval.
