Adolf Hitler was not afraid to ask the opinion of the
people. In national socialist Germany in case of important political decisions
the administration asked the opinion of the people about the decision. On the plebiscites,
usually over 90% of the people took part, and most of the voting people agreed
with the politics of the national socialist administration. The ballot papers'
text was easily understandable, and one could vote either with yes or with no.

nations. Result: 95.1% yes.
