The whole thing was a farce really. And that is what made it so very evil. A whole country was willing to believe, promote, kill and die for a lie. And it wasn't even a well-crafted lie. If it hadn’t happened no one would believe it. It is too far fetched. a.cricket

You are right about that. Who would have thought, that not one German, not one single German, disagreed with Hitler, and disagreed with his policies enough to assinate him. Hitler made a habit of riding around in open cars, unprotected when making speeches surruonded by tens of thousands of Germans with rifles, etc. It would only have taken one singel German with a rifle to end it all, but not one single German in Germany, disagreed enough to stop it. In fact, most Germans loved Hitler, and loved his policies. Hitler was NOT unpopular, he was very popular.

Some of them did of course but the majority did not. Why? Because he gave them food and jobs and wealth and someone else to blame all their troubles on.

The German people knew or guessed for the most part what was going on. You could practically throw a stone from Dachau and hit the camp. But wealth was pouring in from the conquered lands and Germany was feared if not respected. Better not to look or question. It would all turn out all right wouldn’t it?

Willful blindness.

Actually there was at least one assassination attempt on Hitler - by his own inside people.
Im sure there would've been more but in NAZI Germany who do you trust? The Gestapo and SS were very invasive into the lives of Germany in general. If you heard something, didnt report it, then were found out later to not have reported it - you must've been in on it. Goodbye!

Feel free to insert your own thoughts on the similarities of Bush's SoccerMom Spy Campaign.
