I used to wonder where Hitler found people willing to kill for him.

Will this guy give up all the money he made to “the workers”? Or is he just a hypocrite...?

On that subject, and very timely considering what's going on now...

Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen

For the first time in my life, large numbers of my fellow citizens truly scare the hell out of me

Truly. You can look at America today and just see how close we are to doing what Germany did. You just need a certain percentage of the population to have some crazy ideas and to be darn certain that they are absolutely right and everyone else is absolutely wrong. Once those people get control, anything can happen.

He would have made a great CEO for IG Farben during WWII.

First you need to understand the German environment in the period 1918-1930.

You had an attempted Communist revolution in Germany in 1919. You had Germany's Antifa marching through the Streets in the 1920's beating up political opponents. You had the successful Communist revolution in Russia. You had a brief Communist dictatorship in Hungary under Bela Kun.

The German middle class were frightened, and willing to vote for ANYONE who was willing to fight back against the Communists, at a time when Establishment politicians were all about appeasement.

Give Antifa a few more years of running wild, and the US public will be looking for somebody to make it stop.
