      @@beyondobscure yes. Hitler was Europe's second fascist dictator. Mussolini was the first. Even though he was a staunch socialist in his youth, he eventually realized that socialism sucked and started the Italian fascist movement that would be the countries government for the next two decades. Mussolini ended up inspiring Hitler to take on a similar form and would be the early stages of what would become the second world war.

    The Weimar Republic, officially named the German Reich, was the government of Germany from 1918 to 1933, during which it was a constitutional federal republic for the first time in history; hence it is also referred to, and unofficially proclaimed itself, as the German Republic. The nation's informal name is derived from the city of Weimar, which hosted the constituent assembly that established its government. In English, the nation was usually simply called "Germany," with "Weimar Republic" not commonly used until the 1930s.

      ​@unvaxxeddoomerlife6788sure, but we've been just printing more money since 1971 when the dollar stopped being backed by gold.
      Our living conditions have no parallels to pre WW2 Germany, inflation or not we aren't spending $120 on a loaf of WonderBread.
      The only true parallel to be made is the human tendency towards extremism during times of discontent, but again no parallels to Germany as today's extremism is limp-wristed even where it is organized; actions are scale to needs and despite what many would claim in their exaggerations, survival is not at stake, rather preferences and alleged rights.

      Well, to be fair there are only two Reichspräsidents throughout the Weimar Republic's existence, 2/3 is occupied by Hindenburg...

      The leader of the Weimar Republic was the Reichspräsident, elected directly. The first Reichspräsident was Friedrich Ebert. After his death, Hindenburg Was elected in 1925. Formally Hindenburg remained the head of state, even after Hitler became Reichskanzler (Reichskanzler = head of government). In 1933 he was the only man, wo had in theory (!) the constitutional power to stop Hitler. But Hindenburg died in 1934 and after his death Hitler took his position.
