Human nature to be fascinated by this Svengali. How did a mere mortal convince so many to commit such atrocities without conscience? What is the tipping point?

That would be my assumption. How was it possible that the German people could surrender to that obscure little Austrian and is it possible to recognize the problem pattern in advance so it be dealt with before it becomes unmanageable.
