A spell-binding orator promising hope and change.

And I'm sure you know how that worked out.

Yeah, but he was a veteran, and many or most of his fellow Great War vets rallied around him. Even some of those same sorts in other countries that had fought against Germany during the First World War admired the new Reichschancellor, and thought that teamed with von Hindenburg, Germany's future in the remainder of the first half of the XX Century was assured.

And so it was.
