“...it helped create the conditions enabling Hitler to take over Germany...”
The Red Menace...the Antifa/left “protestors” of the time ...came first and Hitler’s movement was a reaction to that.
yes. and Hitler’s street thugs were a very effective “response” .. and they helped propel his takeover of the government
Correct. German Antifa came first. Rioting in the streets, violently assaulting anyone they declared "fascist". The middle class was scared and didn't see the government taking action to restore safety and order.
Until a decorated veteran of the Great War came along and inspired people to fight back, and organized his own organization to take back the streets.
