Might it not also have had to do with his recommend and implementation of NAZI party members to restore local municipal governments?

Look at the situation. All levels of government both local and national were run by the party, same with everyday services, everything from garbage and post to rail, telephones, police and hospitals were run by the party faithful.
It was a one party dictatorship, the only available local staff in the jobs were linked to the party.
Now look at a similar situation with Iraq, everything was run by the one party dictatorship, once all those were instantly removed on "liberation" because they were Ba'ath everything rapidly went to pieces.
The two situations have major differences though. WW2 wasn't done on the "cheap", when they entered Germany they had plenty of their own staff ready for the jobs which they knew would need doing, they actually had a plan for how to run the occupation
