The Germans put the Nazis in prison. Check the timelines. Other than a handful of murders the Nazis appeared to be about as meaningful as "Occupy......" or ACORN.

What really weighted down German society at the time wasn't even inflation but the forced reparations. What that meant was that no small businessman whose livelihood depended on an export business could ever make a profit ~ and here we're not talking about big time world class exports but things as simple as selling a pail of milk to a neighboring valley in France that'd been buying it for the last 1000 years to make cheese.

Those people were ripe for the Nazi takeover that came AFTER Hitler had personally taken over and disbanded the SA (the SA were the marching morons in the streets ~ mostly unemployed young men with nothing to do and having an inordinate interest in tan uniforms and red armbands).

Hitler solved their unemployment problems and infiltrated them into the existing army, albeit not as a formal "army" since that would violate the Allied restrictions on German rearmament.

He had some smart guys behind him ~ like Mitt and the Mitbots ~ not like Obama and the Obots. If anything Obama is more like Ernst Röhm who was later executed by Hitler.

All Hitler had to do was let the communist/anarchist factions (useful idiots) do the heavy lifting.
