85yr. old Austrian, Lived Under Hitler, Says We’re Screwed

What I am about to tell you is something you’ve probably never heard or will ever read in history books.

I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote. I’ve never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.

In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about 30 daily.

By then, we’ll be a 2nd or 3rd world country, economically and morally collapsed, and well-over 50% of the people won’t care, I’m afraid. Hope I wrong.

“The parallels are between Hitler and 0scumbag are unnerving.”

Yes, Hitler went out and organized the communities into believing that all of there problems were the fault of another race of people as well.

See my tagline.

I think the military is generally a good “sorter” of men, because they test the mettle in a variety of ways in order to figure out where each person would be best put to use. The German military sorted Hitler and decided he was best suited to being a corporal, so they probably didn’t even see him as officer potential.

I’m sure that Hitler, being an egomaniac, took personal offense at that assessment and felt slighted by it. That’s probably why he held the career German officers in such low esteem, and refused to take their advice time and time again.

Possible insult to Hitler's legacy.

The money paragraph:

The Final Steps – Gun Laws:

Next came gun registration.. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long after-wards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

All of the Jewish US Senators are Democrats.

If it wasn’t for white Christians with guns they would be lampshades, not senators.

Heinrich Brüning was chancellor of Germany, not Austria.

Thanks. Not sure how I managed that but it's embarrassing.

Yup - we’re well on our way. I’m in my 50’s and I barely recognize the country I grew up in. I think the rate of change is only going to increase as well.
