According to "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", by the time Hitler left Vienna for Germany in 1913 (age 24) he hated democracy, Marxism and Jews. Shirer provides no evidence that he ever was a commie, or even a (conventional) socialist. His thing was always German nationalism and racial purity - the socialists of the time allowed subhuman Slavs and Jews in the party! The Nazis who took the 'socialism' part seriously were purged in 1934 along with Roehm.

Hmmm...Perhaps, Someother sources was cited, by The History Channel...more sources, would have been helpful. That the problem, William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"...is only one source. If the Soviets had been less Xenophopic after WWII...
