It was not a majority of the Germans that elected the Nazi-party. It was only 30%. Hitler took the power after the Reichstag-building was burned down. He prohibited the other parties because the country had to form a unity against the communistic terrorists.

And the Germans were brainwashed. It's hard to imagine, but if you live in an environment where the same message is repeated over and over again with no critics, you simply start to believe it. People didn't thought about it.
Plus, if you didn't joined the Army, you were considered a traitor and shot. So what had they to do? They were told to fight for their country and the German culture (ideology of the Nazis: based on nationalism and racism.)
And please, every war is dirty, none of the sides are always completely innocent. It's a part of "the art of war"

That was the ideology of the Nazis: nationalism and racism.

A swastika is in fact a very old german sign (similar to runes). It was a symbol of the german history, misused by the nazi party.
