A theme running through much testimony by eyewitnesses as Hitler's fascist movement rose to power in Germany was that the Nazis initially represented only a limited percentage of Germans.

But once it was clear that their star was ascending, people began to applaud the movement and the shock-and-awe spectacles it mounted to excite people.

A key project of fascism is always to normalize itself as it rises.
