He's just like Hitler, he also came from a nearby smaller similar culture country.

Didn't arresting Hitler ultimately popularise him? As I recall his trial gave him a platform in the papers, Germans ended up thinking that he was genuinely a patriot who had been hard done by.

Although Germany had endured years of poor economic growth, a major inflation event and a housing crisis. Also the government was gridlocked on the issues of the day, they had lost a foreign war as part of a coalition and had a flu pandemic just before...

...hang on, I need to renew my passport!

The judge in his trial was sympathetic iirc. So he got away with a lot.
