Of course anyone who disagrees with the official story of WWII is obviously a Nazi Antisemite. No need to bring any facts to the table, just name calling is enough to make people stop searching for the truth. Well played.

As far as my grandparents were willing to unveil their motives of that time (they were teens in 1933), there was this huge movement of rising patriotism, fed by legends like this.
It didn't matter if they believed those stories at first, as even rational thinkers were overwhelmed by the sheer emotion of coming from a time of intense depression to a time when Hitler started to give the people jobs by building autobahnen and other massive public projects.
These people were depressed, by poverty and media. The government was weak and bound by several internal and external anchors, giving them only small amounts of free powers. Then came someone like Hitler, shouting loud, being a very charismatic speaker to the masses. He had the opportunity to have a walk-over the existing boundaries of the previous government by calling them manacles and obstacles against the fulfillment of the peoples wantings.
Those were words falling on a primed field. The people were anxious to follow a man promising them new wonders (aka jobs and more self-respect than a beaten war-loser had in that time). At first they didn't care about his book or some parts of his speaks (like jews being the source of all evil befallen on Germany at that time, and so on), taking more of the optimistic and patriotic gist.
Later, it was too late. They took the bad with the worse, were patriotic and increasingly hostile against Jews. This led to the well-known start of the Third Reich, as far as I was told by my ancestors.
I had a grandfather who was in the Waffen-SS, today I'm quite sad that I didn't use the opportunity to ask him about his views on that time - on the other hand, we cleared out his house after his death and let me say it this way: most of the found books and manuscripts were far too ugly to keep or even dispose of them by selling to "collectors". We threw them away and even I, a live-long enthusiastic reader of all kinds of books, didn't want to keep a single one of them. They were the ugliest, racist crap you can imagine (no pornography, sry ).
There were those people in Germany at that time, too.

but to those who have,
do y'all think Hitler intentionally set out to incite another world war?

Oh, another question. From what I understand, and I may be off here as well, Jewish groups started clamoring for a jewish war against germany well before german oppression of the jews... What was the motive here? Why were these groups so strongly against the german nation? Was germany at that time (I believe it was right as Hitler took power....maybe same time he was TIME's man of the year) much more oppressive of its jews than any of the other european nations?

Germany was in the forefront of many developments and perhaps by the end of
the 1930s there was an effort to capture these many patents that the US kept
as spoils of war eventually. So the strict security and outward hostilities given
whatever reasons were lied about. Sure rockets and jets were looming right behind
their most advanced planes and devices that were not kept up to date in real time
while America made better same technology advances in their wasted time.
So I'd say leading up to WWII the German technological developments had to
be stopped or acquired by people other than those who invested. Like the internet
bubble with many investors that lost out because there were others that brought in
more controlling factors and took over sinking many stocks. So of those we hear
invested in Germany were most likely losers by the bigger players.
This is the true sequence of action of WW2. It´s the transcript for a 1,5h documentary which is by now only available in german ("Hitlers Krieg? Was Guido Knopp verschweigt") and which has reached a huge audience by now. One might say, it´s a kind of block buster for it tells the german perspective of WW2 for the first time in a professional manner. It is based on Gerd Schulze Rhonhof´s Book "Der Krieg der viele Väter hatte" ("The war that had many fathers"). Rhonhof- beeing a former high ranked german military person w´did what a good historian should do: He went to the archives and by help of historians wrote that book- which could not be refuted so far. As this is just the transcript meant to be narrated in the film, I tried to spice the reading up with some images.
Adolf Hitler:
"...insults over months a nationstate, and threatens it, to beat it up, to fight battles in berlin, to chop germany´s armies, to displace the frontier to the Oder-river or the Elbe- river, and so on and so forth. And this nationstate- germany- patiently watches these on-goings. Solely the english and french warmongers needed this war but not peace. "We need a long war" as Mr. Chamberlain put it, "at least 3 years long". because of my peace offer I have been abused, personally insulted- in front of the world public Mr. Chamberlain literally spat into my face and refuses to even talk about peace. I hear but one cry from London: That now even more this war has to continue, that they continue this war, even if it meant england to perish. It´s not my ambition to be at war, but to create a new social nation state of highest culture, EVERY YEAR OF THIS WAR LOOTS ME OF THAT WORK.

Chamberlin spat in Hitlers face and demanded war? How very droll.
Chamberlin was the patsy who stood by as Hitler annexed and threatened his way across Europe. Thank god Churchill was in charge when Poland was attacked, or we could have all been goose-stepping around right now. Well, those of us who are caucasian. The rest of you would be dead.

Chamberlain was still the PM when the war started.
