When it has been demonstrated over and over again, how little they think of anyone beneath them.

      Because Hitler restored the German economy and German pride after decades of it being shit. That’s how he won the average citizens over.

      Germany was a fucking mess throughout the 1910s and 1920s. The Weimar republic was a shitty government. Hitler came in and a few years later Germany was a superpower again.

        That was 90+ years ago. Those people aren’t praising Hitler today because they’re dead.

        There are people around the world, who’ve never even been to Germany, praising Hitler.
        It’s because they’re fascists.

        I’m pretty sure you’re trolling but, Hitler took advantage of a weakened Germany after everything in WW1. When someone is weak, that’s what you do. He was an opportunist, a cunning one at that. Nothing he did was bold or bright, things just fell into place after little to no effort on his part.

        And Hitler did not make Germany a superpower. He only had maybe 3 or 4 good years of a run before whatever so-called “brilliance” he had on the field of war, ran right out and plummeted Germany’s reputation and impression on the globe with it.

        Hey not to ruin your fun but did you know Hitler embroiled Germany in an unwinnable war and ordered a few million people be executed, as well?

            Except he didn’t. His plan to ‘rebuild the economy’ was military conquest. He stole enough from ‘undesirable’ German citizens to get the government liquid again, reneged on all the war debts that were keeping the German economy depressed (I’ll give him that much), then kiboshed all the social and economic programs he’d platformed on to go all-in on one titanic military push.

            They simply did not build the infrastructure for a sustained war. And they certainly didn’t build the infrastructure for a functional economy.
