Once the Nazis came to power and AH could rule by dictat with the compelled if not initial willing consent of a goodly number of the citizens, progress and recovery could go ahead without the quarreling and indecision elsewhere, not to mention the regime's ability to define what the terms meant and write blank checks to re-arm the country.
Compared to the ongoing dispair and lack of confidence elsewhere, this economic recovery and self-confidence would have looked pretty good inside Germany as well as elsewhere, and been a sort of excuse for the excesses that would soon become apparent. Apologists would say that the less palatable portions of Mein Kampf were just the venting of a frustrated defeated soldier and the Nuremberg laws were only propaganda for attracting the less savory elements to the regime's agenda of economic recovery.
Henry Ford was pretty much on board as a fellow antisemite, and Charles Lindberg was sufficiently impressed with the confidence and recovery to be on board for some time. Even Justice Felix Frankfurt didn't believe the stories of overt vicious oppression, as such an educated culturally grounded folk would surely be incapable of such repugnant behavior.
