Why did they support Adolf Hitler?

Desperation, and ignorance all while being a social opportunitist himself that was banned, then voted into power, that somehow delivered at the cost of many others.

He was a contradiction to his ideology though, and thought leader hosin(short shorts with socks) was cool while complaining about other politicians in tight whiteys at a beach.

The man wasn't even German for Pete Sakes.

Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat. He pushed propaganda they were responsible for their failing economy. He built up his army and began invading other countries, taking what those countries had, for Germany's profit. Since, in the beginning none, of the invaded countries put up much of a fight, Germans saw they were doing much better. Of course that didn't last, because Hitler wanted all of Europe. If he wouldn't have invaded so many countries, Europe might look very different today.

Hitler was giving speeches well before Mussolini entered the picture.

Since 2020, we've seen the Brownshirts of Antifa and BLM burn loot murder (funny how they stopped when Biden was elected).

We're now seeing the Brownshirts intimidate and threaten Supreme Court Justices for thinking differently with the full support of the Biden administration in full violation of federal law that the DOJ is ignoring.

We saw the Brownshirts loot, burn when Trump was elected.

We see the Brownshirts intimidate, dox and cancel, censor anyone who doesn't obey the Biden administration.

We see the Brownshirts promote pedophilia, teaching grade-school children how to be sex workers.

We see the Brownshirts promoting the open border.

We see the Biden Brownshirts promoting higher taxes, higher prices, inflation.




Yeah, The Biden Brownshirts are here.

If you want a serious answer and you are not just being rhetorical here, a good place to help you consider a thoughtful answer is in the book

''They Thought They Were Free'' by Milton Mayer.

Mayer was a research professor at the University of Frankfort and at the end of the war interviewed Germans of varying backgrounds about their personal observations on the conditions and causes of why they themselves had joined the Nazi Party. His interviews were done over a period of time from 45 to 53 when the memories were still paramount in their minds and he published the book in 55, only ten years after the war had ended.

Try that out if you are interested.

Hitler revived Germany from a almost completely collapsed economy and it only took him an astonishing 4-5 years.
Before WWII, they had the best economy in Europe.
Obviously various things he did or changed, made a difference in the eyes of Germany’s citizens.
Maybe he was bat sh!t crazy before WWII but he was certainly bat sh!t crazy during the war, if they would have chosen a peaceful existence, the world would be a different place today.

People supported Hitler because he promised to solve all the problems they were complaining about.

He said he would create a registry for firearms so he could track violent criminals and remove them from society. As soon as he took power he knew exactly where to go to get the guns. And he did. Once the guns were gone he did whatever he wanted.

In short, he did what the democrats are doing right now. Its the frog in the pot plan. If you have a pan of boiling water and you throw a frog in it will do everything it can to get out. But, if you put a frog in a pan of tepid water and slowly heat it to boiling the frog will just sit there and get cooked.

Look in the mirror, frog.

People supported Hitler because he promised to solve all the problems they were complaining about.

And he did pretty much solve a lot of them.
Before the Nazi’s took over, Germany had like a 30% unemployment rate.
A few years before the war, unemployment was down to like 1 million people(men).
Hitler didn’t want women to work, he wanted them to stay home and propagate the “Master” race.
He implemented a lot of before their time, social programs to help the people also.
It’s really no wonder why Germany’s citizens got behind him at the worst times of their lives.

Hitler was giving speeches well before Mussolini entered the picture.

Sorry but you are very wrong, Mussolini gained power in 1922 in Italy as a democratic prime minister of the Fascist party and then turned it into a one party state ensuring his dictatorial rule of Italy from 1925 onward.

Hitler only gained power despite earlier failed coup attempts in 1933, Hitler modelled his fascist government upon Italy's at first though his became far darker than the Italian party.

He also managed to play Mussolini for a fool somewhat since as Mussolini tried to establish an Italian empire in Abyssinia Hitler actually sent Mauser rifles to the Abyssinian's to help them fight off the Italian's since Hitler actually wanted to be the one power in Europe, fine if Mussolini became his vassal but not if it was the other way around so after gaining power in Germany he somewhat sabotaged Mussolini but let's be fair the Italian's were already often demoralized after Mussolini's BIG words never seemed to give them the glory of a rebirth of the glory day's of ancient Rome which he had promised them and the Italian empire he had promised to build never materialized.

In his defence Mussolini was just a dictator that ended up on the wrong side of the war and was not at first guilty of the worst crimes of the German fascists or even those of the Spanish fascists (whom continued until Franco died as he kept Spain out of the war, other than the leader of Finland - whom had bugged his meeting with Hitler and never really liked the German fascists but they were allies of convenience once Russia started the winter war) Franco was one man Hitler feared and he never wanted to be in a room with him again as he knew that Franco could see right through him).



Story a Spanish guy told me was that when Hitler had met with Franco in private Hitler had later left the room white as a ghost, shaken and said he never wanted to be in a room with Franco ever again, he was afraid of Franco apparently at an individual level, meanwhile Franco though he was not a Good man by any means and his side in the Spanish civil war killed a vast number of his own people at least did not persecute ethnic minority's within Spain or at least not to a degree that history remembers such AND when Germany started WW2 Franco also did not join the Axis but kept his nation neutral despite the aid the Germans had given him in the civil war with there condor legion.

Hitler did not model himself on Mussolini.

How had a penniless down and out managed to get to the front of one of the best read countries in the world at the time is still a mystery, and his circle included some interesting folk like Blavatski .

Interesting information about his 15 plus months living in Liverpool at a family members house and his many body doubles and death make this one interesting guy in a historical sense.

Living in England seems to have changed many historical figures who seem to have a missing history ,Karl Marx ,Lenin, yoseph Stalin,

a reply to: stonerwilliam

I have heard about that, apparently he fell out with his brother and his brothers wife and they asked him to leave but there are all manner of rumours about him having a son with a landlady in Liverpool etc, few ever verified, funny thing the members of his family that went to States ended up fighting AGAINST him, his own nephew for example though they changed there name because of the disgrace he had brought upon it.
www.dailymail.co.uk...

IF the story of him living for a time in Liverpool is true then he was likely on his way to the US but for one reason or another never actually went there, history may have been very different if he had.

I do know there was a British soldier in the first world war whom let Hitler live, he had him in his sight's when he saw the corporal had his arm in a sling so did not pull the trigger.

a reply to: VierEyes

No he had a comb over instead of a slap head so there is that.

Oh and that brush moustache, guess he could have nicked that from Chaplin.

But his oratory style me most definitely DID copy Mussolini, apparently he would watch cine film of the Italian dictator to hone his own style.

This was Mussolini in 1927.

This was Hitler in 1935, he even copied Mussolini's hand motions.

a reply to: LABTECH767

The strange thing is the lack of paintings from this time period but many who knew him say he was bone lazy and was always napping and only ever read small pamphlets not books ! He definitely did more than anyone to help in a Jewish homeland than most realise

From the 1961 movie Judgement at Nuremberg, "Are we to blame the German people and ignore the International Industrialist."


In Francis Richard Conolly's JFK to 911, Everything is a rich man's Trick, (20-40 min.) presents a very disturbing scenario that the world and US bankers, industrialist and leaders financed Hitler from the beginning of his rise.


The 1995 novel Stones in the River by Ursula Hegi is about a woman born in 1920's Germany. She is a dwarf, maybe that makes her an outsider to observe. She is growing up and watching the character of the country change as Hitler comes to power. The first line of support were the brutes/the thugs/the haters, then the followers and then the bullied. Interesting read on the dynamics of a brutal take over.

Thank you I will.
I read Mein Kampf.
you find your self agreeing with a lot of it.
It sucks you in and uses you!

I can not belive They use mad fool like Biden.
Trump would have made a beter Adolf hitler.
maybe thats what they are pushing us into?

There was no modern "Germany" until around 150 years ago. Prussia formed it's core and they fought a century of wars beginning with Frederick the Great before taking on Napoleon (and losing) then taking him on again (winning). Being in central Europe and the home of the reformation the area of Germany composed of dozens of small states suffered centuries of near constant warfare for both religious and petty political disputes. They say the conference of Vienna brought a Pax Britannica but that didn't include peace in Germany during the 1800's who fought Austria then France twice. Prussia had mandatory military service for all males starting in 1813. Then you had WW 1, a communist revolution, Weimar depression...things were bad. Only a strong party and personality could dominate Germany which had little in the way of democratic ideals. Germany was born through armed struggle. Modern Germans live in denial today of their own history. Modern liberalism tries to pretend people spring up like dandelion seeds spread by the wind as though there was no connection to the society and soil they came from.

Eta: I just read Nietszche and Schopenhauer and their philosophies tell the story of 20th century Germans better than I.

I know what you mean. I read it ages ago and found the same thing at the time, it addresses so many problems and promises so much. To some. Fortunately we have the historical perspective of where that particular set of lies can lead us and so most of us will not be drawn into it's grasp.

Same goes for the Communist Manifesto. Ever read it? So much of it sounds so good until we put it in context of how those beliefs worked out. Not well of course.

I can not belive They use mad fool like Biden.

As for Biden, I think Biden believes in what he is doing, what he thinks is best for the country, and that to me is what makes him the fool. Trump believes in himself and THAT is what makes him the fool. Both are incompetent, Hitler was not, and for that we should be thankful. Thankful but watchful as the next boss to come along may not be incompetent at all.
