"My fingers are shaking as I write this. Everyone in now turning their backs on Adolf. No one was ever a supporter. Everyone was persecuted and no one denounced. What about me? I was there. I breathed what was in the air. It affected all of us.
This is not the story of how Adolf Hitler seized power in Germany. This is the story of HOW and WHY the German people gave it to him.
It's easy to throw stones. Easy to sit in judgment while in the midst of abundance. Roast chicken and the good life. We'd do differently people say. We would have long since cast off dictatorship of Nazi Terror. Would they really have?
Some of what you will see has never been shown on American television before. And some of it cannot be seen in Germany even today. These are their words. Their films. This is therise of the 3rd reich.
There had once been another war. And another German defeat. If you were German in 1919 your peace was humiliation and suffering. Money was worthless. Vigilantes ruled the streets. Berlin had become a swamp of depravity. Everything. And everyone was for sale. The atmosphere has become revolutionary. Apocalyptic. Not only money, but all standards have loss their values.
Saviors have appeared everywhere, claiming that they have been sent to god to save the world. Each was called a heilent, or savior, but in German there is no plural word for savior. There can be only one.
Most Germans thought of Hitler as too radical. If they thought of him at all. But in less than 3 months, Wall Street would crash. And take the German economy down with it. Within a year, the Nazi's would be one of the largest political parties in Germany.
While we descended into misery and called anxiously for a savior. He emerged. Like a mountain. Columns march. Drums beat. And 100,000 men stand firmly gathered around 1 man. Now, build up your people oh master, a great fatherland awaits.
