@brucelawson But most of historians are also forgetting about how easily are to manipulate people who are extremely poor, very hungry, totally disappointed and left alone by those who should be helping them in such particular heavy time. That's why nsdap was so successful and get so popular back in the days. Due to the american stock market crash, great depression and all the effects of them that happened later to the entire world. Nothing much, than simple crowd psychology, as we call it today.

@brucelawson 2/n Their motives were most important one things in the whole story. The power of force of people who are literally pushed to the edges is unimaginable. And that's exactly what idiots like Goebbels, Göring and the rest exploited. Hitler was just their puppet, a pawn in this whole filthy political power game. A pawn that was also, by design and from the very beginning, doomed to failure. That's why they achieved their goal so easily and quickly. Due the poverty and anger of people.

@MartinaNeumayer @brucelawson The bulk of the NSDAP came from the middle class, Kleinbürgertum. People who weren't poor but weren't rich, either, who hated the Jews because they had always hated the Jews, who were disgusted by all the "perverts" living their lives out in the open all of a sudden in big cities, especially Berlin, and who were worried they could lose what little wealth they had and join the ranks of the poor like so many others.
