I would more accurately blame nationalism and militarism as the reasons why Germans were so exited about his speeches. Nationalism was a common feature across Europe, post WWI- and in parts of the rest of the world too.

Militarism was hardly a defining feature of the Weimar Republic- and it could also be found (post WWI) in the Soviet Union, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey....

Antisemitism and easy (bonehead) answers for complex problems made Hitler popular- although accordingtomy old headmaster (ex-spy in Nazi Germany) large numbers of German women found Hitler sexually exciting (at least in his speeches...).

Now that is bizarre...
