Tldr is The Wilhelmian period's ending in 1918 was brutal and by the time Hitler rolled around, everyone in Germany really REALLY wanted to fight or annex neighbors".

The war's end and reparations whiplashed the ever-loving fuck out of the economy, which during the period hyperinflated 1,000,000x over base purchase prices - economic impoverishment pushed demand for combat as leverage for sanction relief, booty, and as a fuck-you for bad terms like e.g the 1920s partial occupation in the Ruhr. The Germans also felt that they got screwed on the division of Austrio-Hungary, on the basis that they were entitled to "living space" denied to them in loss. They made it a goal to in the future to seize this territory.

The local communists and communist movement in general represented a serious threat to the new Weimar state, and had already attempted to coup the state in the Hamburg uprisings. These united the Freikorps, local socdem paramilitary groups opposed to them, who later aided the Nazi rise to power. They did not forget their disdain for socialists and Communists, who they considered an internal and external enemy.

The loss thrashed German self-conception of greatness, and desperately in desire of some kind of runback in which they could prove themselves as successful in the field of battle and a major military power on the world stage. It left key power players like general Ludendorf extremely disgruntled at old WW1 enemies, as well as looking for people to blame. A combination of Jews and Catholics were seen as having accepted outrageous terms of surrender and as both too socially cosmopolitan and successful in the wake of the hyper-inflation. The loss further united most adults together because most of them fought together. There was a general feeling "if we tried again, we would succeed"

Final net sum was
>Fuck France, Fuck Austria, Fuck the Poles, Fuck Jews, Fuck Catholics, Fuck Russia, and Fuck Britain
Which set their political agenda.
