Someone commented that “we’re shooting past clean wehrmacht, past the recent innovation of clean SS and all the way straight to clean Hitler.”
[edit] OK, I’ll just say it - over 30k and counting. “You are like Hitler if you don’t want to genocide the Palestinians”.
Imagine voting for the guy that keeps calling jews vermin and wants them removed from germany and then all jews disappearing, I think most people know. Btw they tried to avoid building camps near the western borders, because of le international community, but the rest of the country was fair game.
Important to note that Hitler did not win that election, the liberal Hindenberg did. Hindenberg then appointed Hitler to the next highest office (in a depraved attempt to appeal to the fascists) and, during his term, died in office, at which point Hitler seized power in what you could call a soft coup.
Tbf he had still a lota supporters, but yeah Von Papen und Hindenburg kinda like went behind the publics back to make the nazis win faster lol.
Oh yeah, he still got a decent portion of the vote and after he spent some time as fuhrer (and purged leftists, minorities, etc) he had like 2/3 support. My point was that he was never voted into office ever. Period.
also it was pretty public knowledge that the nazis were robbing Jews and doing pogroms. Kristallnacht wasn’t exactly a secret
Literally giving the stolen stuff from jews to germans, was kinda one of the main selling points of the NSDAP.
“hey do you want other peoples stuff and are willing to overlook bloodstains all over it join the nazi party”
