re: #102 LudwigVanQuixote

I have often wondered how Germany slipped into Nazism. I am watching the process right here in America.

What I have been having a hard tome coming to grips with is how much of it relies on the masses just being stupid, delusional and easily manipulated.

So much evil comes from simple stupidity.

The Nazis played one group off another & the Center did not come together to stop them. And, there was the depression of the 1930s and people were out of work. Other things too.

There is an excellent book about it all by William Allen, The Nazi Seizure of Power.

I recommend it highly.
