Interesting. First I’ve read that he had a PhD.
We’re always told that the Nazis were uncultured rubes from Bavaria. I guess admitting that they were frustrated academics and artists doesn’t fit the narative.
Many Nazis were brilliant and evil.
On the contrary, many psychopathic despots fit into the 'frustrated artist', 'frustrated academic' category. Hitler, Mao and Stalin were painters, poets and sketch artists respectively. Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi were frustrated poets.
It makes sense on many levels.
Friends of mine were in multilevel marketing, A doctor and an PhD. Made tons of money because people thought, well if these intelligent people say it is ok then ...
Other friends were double docs couple who became franchise owners. The franchising company dragged them out all the time to show how smart it is to work with them.
Sadly double doc didn’t have double business abilities and bellied up.
