Hitler did not start with his Final Solution campaign until 1941. He was voted in because he was charismatic and he stayed in power because he did wonders with the economy in the post WW1 years when the world had plunged into economic recession. People's salaries rose by about 20%.

The Germans voted in what they thought was a great leader

Donald Trump took more than one page out of his playbook... HIS opening salvo blamed Mexican's and it never got any better... and Americans actually voted this bastard into office and then the anti semites crawled out from under their rocks and Jews started getting murdered in synagogues in America, on the street in America - because they were Jews.. never - EVER happened before Trump.. and he said - there were good people on both sides... Americans in the MILLIONS voted for him... He said and did these things despite having a Jewish Daughter and Jewish Grandchildren... He said and did these things despite doing good for Israel... it was on HIS watch that the creeps who supported him crawled out from under the rocks and he did ZERO to control them or keep them from killing Jews in America...

@pianoplayingsteve Sorry, dude.
Your Churchill alleged quotation "not against Hitler or National Socialism but against the strength of the German people" appears to be a false quote.

(Allegedly 1955, in Emrys Hughes, British Bulldog, 145.) • Not in Hughes, nor anywhere else.

So neat trick, if you search for a quotation in Google, it will bring back pages in which that entire quotation is found. So I did that, and got this page.

Looking through the results, I see a Google Books result that sources the quotation to a work entitled Winston Churchill: British bulldog: his career in war and peace by Emrys Hughes. Unfortunately, when you use Google books to search that work for the quote, nothing shows (the word Jesuit, for example, comes up nill on the search).

But here is where I need to mention the problems I've encountered. The work that sources the quote to Hughes is by a man named Benton Bradberry, and reading the jacket of his book, it appears he's a Holocaust denier and Nazi apologist, so I can't say I trust anything he says without verification. Further, the fact that he's using the quote, attributing it to another work in which it does not appear to exist, suggests that there are real problems with the quotation.

I obviously haven't spent too much time searching, but the only "evidence" I can find supporting it comes from sources that are not trustworthy in the slightest (seriously, the number two search result is friggin' Stormfont). So I would error on the side of it being apocryphal until proven otherwise.

What the reddit guy is saying is that a book by a holocaust denier FALSELY quotes the Emrys Hughes bio of Churchill.

Your search - strength of the german people - did not match any documents.

Had you been German in that time you probably would have voted for him also.

[quote]Why did 14 million Germans vote for Hitler[/quote]

Why did 81 million people vote for Joe Biden?

The people who voted for Hitler are the same people who push AGW and covid jabs and vote for Biden or Trudeau or any of the other WEF leaders.

I wish more people would realize this, [i][b]and stop getting their information from the media.[/b][/i] The media [i]highly[/i] promotes hatred and separateness. Fear sells. And the media is all about follow-the-money, just like any other corporate entity.

People seem to forget it started this way. They voted him because he redirected their anger toward the Jewish community, just like some leaders now tend blame it on immigrants and/or people of colors. When one of those neo-nazi leader wins the election, you see the exact same fascist laws and regulations being implement. Travel restrictions, detention centers, voting right taken away etc.

Do you want opinions or facts, sw is where you will find opinions, history books is where you will find the facts

If you read your Bible and you believe your Bible to be true, then there is nothing you can do to stop it.
No vote will or can, stop what is prophesied.

We don't always agree, but I agree with you here; great post. :)

It's easy to lay the blame on Hitler, but he's the tip of the spear. The people who voted for him, did not need any arm twisting.

It's pretty simple, when it comes down to it. If I'm listening to my car radio, and a country music song comes on, I switch the channel.

The same goes for the 70M Americans who voted for Trump, especially the MAGA hard core crowd.

Mass formation psychosis.
The same thing is going on [i]now, world-wide.[/i]

Great post.

A number of people don't want to hear that parallel, but it's obvious to tjose who know history.

Thank you for that. 😊

It's not just nazis... we see them all over the place even today. They're extremists, they're loud, they make people feel bad about themselves, and they revel in the confusion and the power they have.

On the Adolf Hitler page,its more about Donald Trump.
How come Putin isnt mentioned?Hes worse surely?

Propaganda

Racism was pretty much standard at the time and he didn't campaign on the Holocaust, in fact, he barely alluded to it. The DOJ IS the real danger to freedom. You might learn one day to stop treating your countrymen like chattel and try taking your own advice mkay?

Lots of reasons: economic crisis, rage at Treaty of Versailles, weak government, right wing propaganda, history of antisemitism.

We might not see eye to eye on religious issues, but you are dead on with this point. Fear leads to hatred, every single time. And sadly, there are politicians all too willing to exploit fear to secure power.
