Coincidentally enough, Hitler is on the cover of this month’s “Military History” magazine. The advertised article covers how he rose to power.

One must consider what Marin Luther had to say about the Jews in context of what Christian Germans history of Jewish relations were, and were to become. Hitler knew all the right buttons to push to get them on his side and whip up some hatred and blame for ‘the other’.

Hitler attracted not only the support of the middle class but also of university students and professors. Ahhhh yes the much ballyhooed intellectuals who are supposed to know so much that we should worship the very ground they walk on because they are soooo wise.....LOL! Steyn was right.....Intellectual morons....to hell with them.

Appointed after his party won a majority. That was how a Parliamentary system often works. You elect members of the Legislative body, and the majority, or a majority coalition, appoint a Prime Minister or Chancellor or whatever; pending a “vote of no confidence” by the legislative body or a new election.

Anyone guess that maybe we are at the beginning. With 2/3 of Americans are totally brain dead and could not see what Obama really is. Combine that with the MSM and machines like ACORN we are following a similar path. Watch out America. Confiscation of guns will start as soon as the brown shirts are organized to go door to door.

I know how it works.
Hitler lost in the ‘Elections’. The people didn’t want him.

One must consider what Marin Luther had to say about the Jews in context of what Christian Germans history of Jewish relations were, and were to become.I think that might be a bit simplistic.
IIRC, some of the strongest proponents of surrender in WWI were Jews. As a result it was easy to stereotype them as the cause of all the misery that followed with losing in WWI. In addition, Jews had been very succesful in business and were not in the trades which was the sector that was first affected by the depression.

Hmmm...to buy a gun or not buy a gun. The registration lists will be the first purge. Older people, special needs people, and other “useless eaters” will be next. Might as well go in the first round?

Hitler lost in the Elections. The people didnt want him. His party won a third of the seats and it was through strong arming a coalition was formed. Nobody would stand up to him.

Hitler was first and foremost a NATIONAL SOCIALIST. The MARXISM that Hussein Obama practices is a closely related ideology.

Hitler lost the election for President to Hindenburg in 1932. But in the election on 5th March, 1933, the Nationalist Socialist German Workers party received 43.9% of the vote and 288 seats out of the available 647. Not a majority, but a plurality.
Obviously many of the German people did want the Nazi party, some 43.9% to be precise.

This piece is very over-simplistic in it’s explanations.
Part of the reason for the rise of Adolph Hitler and the National Socialists was the treatment Germany received at the hands of the triumphant Europeans after the First World War, in particular the French who tried to occupy the Ruhr and Rhine valleys.
If you think that the Iraqi insurgency is bloody, do some reading about the period immediately after Versailles and the the rise of the Third Reich about what kind of time the French had during their occupation...
It’s a very complex story and does not lend itself to simple explanations.
