And are you looking for a guide to Nazism or Hitlerism?

    And like poster mentions - Hitlers control over party grew to become absolute before long. Long knives for example removed any significant opposition. But of course in the beginning his control over party was not absolute.

    You know - he was intelligence... If I didn't know any better I would suspect him of being installed controlled opposition... I mean was he even trying to win the war? I highly doubt it. And I think that is why Nazis like Rommel wanted to kill him. Why send your best general to Africa to $%$% around defending Italian colony for example? Are you $%$%ibg me? What in gods name was his strategy against Britain? Battle of Britain?... Russia! Come on.

    There's that and the remaking of him that brought him not only popularity but power. Same with the conservatives who thought they could control him. Once in power there was no stopping him, he became a megalomaniac, till it became a world war.

Hitler nor his goals never changed, he was - made to look - like a kindly statesman who loved animals and children ala Berchtesgaden and other photographs. Eva Braun never appeared in the propaganda films or photos. Hitler lost the 1932 election and was appointed in 1933. So, the nazis changed nothing, they only disguised it.

    Have you read “inside the third reich?”


    This book more than others goes into the private life of Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer mentions that Hitler had no humour, but could laugh boisterously at others being ridiculed in his circle of dinner guests on an evening.
    At no time was Eva Braun in attendance at party meetings or official gatherings, only the inner circle ever saw her with Hitler, she was derived as peasant stock and not worthy to be shown off to the SP officialdom.
    Hitler let it be known that of all his inner circle Albert Speer was the only one he could trust to always remain silent to all that he saw and heard.
    From that we can be certain Hitler had his inner circle houses bugged.

    I find Hitler to be hilarious.

    Sterling can find no market today. Throw it at any one and he will step aside to avoid being hit.

    The other countries waited to see how things would develop. The question was asked: 'Will meat be rationed?' That was the first sounding of a warning. In other words: 'If you are a capitalist, cover your requirements, buy yourself a refrigerator and hoard up a few sides of bacon.'

    I love Hitlers cutting style of humour.

    Hitler didnt like animals or children? I think these Hitler backstories are about as reliable as your average Silicon Valley backstory.
