No excuse for the monster Hitler was. I have no German blood anywhere in my family but you have to understand the situation in Germany when Hitler came to power. Inflation was in triple figures on an almost DAILY basis. Unemployment was out of sight, high in the double digits. There literally was no food! The Government was in turmoil. In the 90 days prior to Hitler's election, 45 German Governments had come and gone. Some not lasting a morning or afternoon!! It was chaos with anyone jumping on a soapbox and claiming he could fix things being put in charge. Then thrown out when they showed they had no plan. Hitler had a plan and an organization and a scapegoat, the Jews! Immediately they violated international restrictions on Germany and improved things a bit. The world ignored Germany and Hitler because then, AS NOW, the great depression was worldwide. All had their own fish to fry and had no time for a chaotic Germany.
His timing was historically perfect.
He built a Navy, against the Treaty of Versailles.
He built an army, against the Treaty,
He built an Air Force, against the Treaty,
But the WORLD had its own problems to contend with.
Hitler built the German infrastructure [sound familiar] and people had jobs and money. And they did not care how he did it. Sound more familiar?
