Not sure about that. From what I understand, the German economy was recovering nicely and the Nazis were doing poorly in elections in the late 1920s. Then the Great Depression hit.

Nazi share of the vote in German federal elections from 1924 to the Nazi seizure of power in 1933:

  May 1924 -   6.5%
  Dec 1924 -   3.0%
  May 1928 -   2.6%
  Sep 1930 - 18.25%
  Jul 1932 - 37.27%
  Nov 1932 - 33.09%
