Hitler's methods to gain power in Germany was a relief for Germany and it's conditions.
After World War I, Germany's government and economy became unstable. Germany's Weimar Government was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, leaving Germany responsible for the war.
The Weimar Government did what they could to restore stability in Germany through many different treaties, and borrowing money from America. For Hitler, this wasn't enough. He took part in the Beer Hall Putsch, a revolt going against reduced reparations for the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler found this as the center of the problems for Germany, and began to take action.
Hitler's methods were sometimes a bit questionable, yet clever. He never made promises, which is what the Weimar Government did. He despised democracy. This is one method that was the best for Germany. Too many inputs towards an unstable country would only make it worse. A dictatorship was necessary.
Hitler had a given point. He was seen as a leader who showed nationalism and he and the Nazi party knew that the only way to gain the support of the people was to show them that you understand them. The Weimar Government did not show this and as unemployment rates and debt increased, Hitler gained more support by being a "backbone" for German citizens.
Many historians could argue many different points. Many could say that the Weimar Government was better for Germany, because it was a slow work in progress, but they were doing the best that they could. I completely understand this because they borrowed money from America to support their country, constructed plans that united their Allies, and later had the Treaty of Versailles reparations reduced. However, Hitler takes action through the 25 Point's of Hitler's Nazi Party, seeking equal opportunities, rights, and duties for the people. Also raising standards for healthcare, industries, and protection for the country.

The first thing you did was state your thesis, but it was a little unclear, perhaps you should word it differently to get your point across. There are some good facts stated and some analysis but your analysis was not very indepth. But, it was good. The biggest problem was at the end where you're concluding; it sounds like you're answering a different question. You said about the Wiemar not being necessarily being the best government for germany and that a dictatorship was what Germany needed but that was not the question. Stay focused on the question and fising your thesis could help with keeping you on target.
