I noticed your question actually asks about the condition
of Germany when Hitler was in power, as opposed to when he was
seeking power. On the chance you mean during his reign and not before it, let's
approach this another way.
From 1933 - 1938, Germany was
recovering from a worldwide economic depression, just like the US. This means times
were still somewhat tough, but what Hitler did was restore order and reduce crime, so
that Germany was safer to live in (unless of course, you were anti-Hitler). He also
created hundreds of thousands of jobs in the new German military and in war industries
making weapons for the coming conflict. So Hitler was very popular because life in
Germany became visibly better in these early years.
Once
the war started, his government became harsher and more controlling, and by 1943 bombing
raids were making it harder to live in the cities, travel or get the things you needed
to live. More and more families lost loved ones as soldiers in war or as civilians in
the line of fire. So life in Germany during the wartime half of Hitler's rule became
increasingly more deadly and difficult.
