You are right with your posts, especially about Hindenburg (Prince Wilhelm, the grandson, would have been the candidate of choice for monarchists in those days). I just would like to comment a little on your statement that Hitler‘s aims were clearly stated in his book.
I have not read it (it was banned until recently over here), but it was never taken seriously by many. I think, when Hitler penned it in 1924, he himself didn’t reckon with his becoming powerful ever, let alone becoming an almighty tyrant.
Otherwise, he would never have so frankly outlined all of his aims.
The book was considered the work of an utter crank by most. Sadly, today we know how mistaken people were…
P.S.: By the way, the work Risiko Deutschland i.e. „Germany, the risk“ - I don’t know whether it has ever been translated - by the accursed greenslime Trotskyite Joschka Fischer, which he penned before becoming a successful politician, also was not taken seriously.
Today, we know that, in it, he outlined all the policies which his party implemented, and which commieb.tch Merkel continued (although she belonged to another party).
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes, as Mark Twain put it so well.
Wouldn’t have Kaiser Wilhelm’s grandson have been a very young child in 1933? It would have required a Regent at the very least.
