How was the ''normal'' German treated during the Nazi regime, did they face risk of being summarly executed like in Russia under Stalin or was it more ''safe''?

Pretty much the same as the USSR. You keep in line, your fine, you go against the state and you get beaten or killed.
That being said, whilst I dont recall the Germans delibratley starving their own people, the economy would have eventually crashed without a war, leading to similar although less serious effects.

Depends on the time period before the war the people were treated very well so the Nazi would be in power and stay in power.
In the war again as long as you weren't people that the Nazi hated you were treated well remember they had to be voted in first to become in power with means they had to be liked by the population.

Many thought it was quite good, after the Hyper inflation of '23 and the depression as well as stopping the paying of reparations and rebuilding Germany, people thought that the Nazis were doing things right.
Well not everyone.
Well not everyone.
Any German who decided to listen to the party's propaganda, as a large portion did, even in Austria, generally did better for themselves while the government lasted.
It was easy to as well, since most of your surrounding family probably got in on the craze, as well as friends; it seemed to them like the Nazis were the saviour of the German people.
It seemed to them like Hitler ripped them out of poverty, restored their pride as a nation, and continually managed to enlarge the empire without bloodshed... until Poland, that is. Even then, only when the war went bad for them, I imagine, did the non-persecuted populace lose their illusions as to the "Third Reich's" future.

I've spoken with people who were young kids or some were teenagers, in Nazi Germany.
Seems that in general, people accepted that
"They wouldn't have been arrested if they hadn't done anything"
"The new laws are necessary to ensure public safety"
"The government knows what it is doing"
If this all sounds a little bit like what the Brits say about the Prevention of Terrorism Act, or what the Americans say about Guantanamo Bay and the invasion of Iraq....
yep, so it should.
Until the war started, only a tiny fraction of Germans were directly affected by Nazi outrages. Since news spread so slowly, it was easy to believe that the incident you witnessed was an isolated incident, perhaps the only incident of its kind. And Hitler had good stats he could point to - employment rising, land reclaimed from the enemy (France) and less street crime.

Well empire was what fascism was built on, they needed colonies to exploit to keep themselves going.

Well simply put Mussolini, Hitler, and Franco all called for empire and a return to glory ( not as much with Franco because he was caught in a mess trying not to pick a side in WWII, though he did try to hold on the best he could to his colonies)
Fascism is a bully state, picture in your mind the world, in the world there are a total amount of resources. Fascist beat up little countries and take there "lunch money" otherwise known as resources. They only give back what they need in order to keep a colony alive and thus exploitable.

Sure thing. Doesnt everyone enjoy police brutality, oppresion, limited freedom of choice, a rigged legal system, no elections and a hell of a lot of prejudice.
Seriously, are you some form of Neo Nazi, or just an extremely bitter 15 year old anti Soviet troll?
Doom Bunny 说:
Except that many groups in the USSR, especially kulaks (whatever that is) were concidered enemies of the state by default at some time or another and risked being forcefully relocated, sent to GULAG or killed. There's been a cossack rebellion? Bad time to be a cossack.
Hm, I have heard rumours that the Nazists also had grudges towards certain groups of people.

He's a mahoosive moron who considers himself part of the Russian Nobility. He behaves like the nazi nobleman trope. In short, he's both.
Duke Daniel Milutin 说:
If you like to work there wasn't unemployement in Germany. But work and money isn't all. Strange thing is that partisans helped USA to free Italy by the Nazi and after that the communists freed fascist criminals and forced the Democrazia Cristiana to write in the constitution that Italy i founded on work.
Surely was one of the best country for animals since Nazis were quite animal-friendly.
