| It is a myth that people did not believe Hitler. "in Nazi Germany, people didn`t believe that Hitler meant what he was saying. I suggest that we refrain from repeating that line of reasoning and prepare ourselves for anything." - Eliezer Shkedi The reason Hitler was so popular in Germany is that people DID believe what he said. General Shkedi sounds very foolish. Hitler laid his goals out in Mein Kampf and people understood that. Fascism was quite popular in the 20s and 30s. It even had many proponents in the US. Both Hitler and Mussolini did regular columns for the Hearst papers. They convenient myth that people didn`t know what Hitler was about, and that they did not actually feel that he had given Germany it`s self-respect back. Nor was it comfortable for those same folks to remember that they praised Mussolini for `making the trains run on time." To ignore history is foolish. To base one`s response to history upon fantasy is down right dangerous. |
