Hitler used the same techniuqe, he believed he could rise to power simply through the use of words and he proved himself right. After gathering a substantial following he strated to sujest his beliefs about minority races such as jews and homosexuals and since to his devoted followers he knew everything they imeditilly believed him. This continued untill he had all of Germany under his comand and your everyday german guy or girl not so differnt from you or me hated jews and believed every word of propaganda that he spoke. Those Germans that questioned his belefs and polices were weeded out and either sent off to fight or were killed.
