    As a German myself I am a bit surprised that the side-effects of and aftermaths of WWI are not taken into consideration here which played a vital role in the whole story:
    1) Germany was not part of the Versailles negotiations were reperations and cessions of territory were discussed therfore the peace treaty as a whole was widely viewed as a "Diktatfrieden" (dictated peace). Especially the part where Germany had to accept to be the only nation responsible for the atrocities happened felt revengeful and belittling to Germans
    2) There was a common belief fueled by high ranking militaries and right wing politicians known as "Dolchstoßlegende" (Legend of the dagger blow).
    It said that Germany was on the verge of winning the WWI and didn't lose in battle but communists, socialists and other democrats put a knife in the back of our forces politically home which led to the defeat.
    The politicians and ambassadors who signed the Versailles treaty were part of this alleged conspiracy which led to the problem that the democratic system of the Weimar Republic was not accepted by a considerable part of the general society and the majority of industrials and upper class opposed democracy
    3) On top of the economic crisis the winners of WWI still demanded that reperations had to be payed eventhough the nation was more or less bankrupt
    This is why the Weimar Republic was characterized by instabillity right from the beginning and throughout its existence.

      And because whole preparation for "revenge" was probably already in action. Involving other similarly isolated country and using negligence of inspectors to conceal whole build up of military power, as well as removing any possible opponents, that could prevent it.

      Agreed. There does seem to be quite a bit of ignorance on the part of these two as to the differences between the victors and the vanquished. I imagine the psychology of a generation of men who had not only been through the horror of WW1 but also lost would carry some heavy scars.

    German perspective here: My great grandparents and partly my grandparents grew up in Nazi Germany. My grandparents and my parents then lived through the socialist hell in East Germany.
    You know how I know that the current situation is bad? I know, because all 3 generations continuously describe how much they feel reminded of the times that led up to these horrible regimes.
    This applies to the corrupt political class, to the way information is presented in the (social) media landscape. This applies to how an elitest class demands everyone agree with their views and accept their decisions. This is reflected in the way that young people have absolutely no clue about the horrors of nazi or socialist regimes.
    I feel devastated... I have grown up being taught to question everything and everyone all the time... but I see 90% of my peers who either refuse to think things through because it might make them uncomfortable, or they deny everything I say claiming I am some sort of conspiratorial nutjob, or in the worst case... they either just quietly go along with it, or actively support it to benefit on a personal level.

    My great grand-fathers were murdered by the Bolsheviks, just for being German! They had no money or influence. They were simple workers and farmers. One was shot. The other one died in a concentration camp leaving a wife and 6 children behind. One child died of malnutrition at the age of 3.
    This example is one of millions. Millions of people were killed, raped and/or starved to death just for being German!
    No one talks about this. I live in Germany. I had History in school. We never talked about this. Everything was about Nazis and the holocaust.

    As a German, I see a paradigm shift in our society that worries me more and more: what you do or say is no longer relevant, what is more important (again) is who or what you are or which group you belong to. What amazes me above all is how confused ideologies from the USA are being adopted completely unthinkingly and uncritically and grafted onto our society, despite our different social and historical backgrounds. This trend has found its way into the German government in particular, which seems to be making more and more efforts to de-structuralise a hitherto functioning economic power for ostensibly moral but predominantly fantasised reasons.

      Yes, you see this group-thinking in the defense of the massacre of a defenseless group by political Germany today to assuage their guilt feelings about the massacre of a defenseless group carried out by their great-grandparents because the perpetrators of today's massacre are the group that their great-grandparents massacred.
      That's pretty sick thinking.
      "Never again!" should mean never again a massacre of any group of people by any group of people. Cheering on today's massacre is pretty despicable. Placing group politics above universal ethics. "Us" and "them" and the primacy of one group above another... Who cares about the terrible suffering of the Palestinians? It's all about OUR history and soothing OUR feelings and atoning for OUR sins! Pretty selfish. Pretty shortsighted. Petty immoral.

      People never did learn how propaganda works so they still have no defenses against it. They think they do. I have a friend who admitted that she doesn't listen to anything she considers to be propaganda which is anything that doesn't fit into her already fully formed delusional model of reality. The number of mechanisms she has to stop from changing her mind is truly staggering. About half of Americans are like that and it's becoming our biggest export. Germans were just ahead of the curve. If they had been labeled as socialists by other socialists, there never would have been a war but they got the label fascist despite being socialist. History is made by trigger words.

The humiliation of the Versailles treaty, the reparations, the occupation of the Rhineland by the French in 1923, the dagger-in-the-back legend, the as ineffective percieved Weimar democracy - this attributed to Hitler's rise. His followers felt like he would he would give Germany their pride back.

    What was not mentioned in this discussion was the state that Germany was during the great depression. In a nutshell, Germany had areas which were facing local civil wars. In addition, the parties were acting like mobsters, the SPD, KPD and NSDAP Members were beating the crap out of each others, the result was the founding of "protection groups" within the parties, Reichsbanner for the SPD and SA for the NSDAP. I'm qite sure that this kind of unrest did not happen in the USA.

      Comparing and contrasts further with the US, the way the power flows in the American society, i.e. from the bottom up, as opposed to most societies in Europe, from top to the bottom, and the impossibility of the state and of the parties of the political class to disarm the population, made such a situation of local civil wars over the state's resources impossible to attain and sustain. Thugs tend to not rely on violence when they rick getting shot over it and the judiciary does not side with them.

      Vanquished Germany after WWI was practically occupied by France and partly also by the US, for some time. In 1923, the French and Belgian army occupied the Ruhr area, when deliveries were not made in due time to France. The big inflation was allowed to happen by the Germans, in order to signal the dire circumstances of this Germany, suffering under foreign rule.
      When Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf" in a prison cell, he was contemplating from that background. He was not conceiving some ludicrous plan to "conquer the world" or something like that. He was thinking about ways to save Germany from its detriment. You may judge his thoughts in whatever way you deem appropriate, but he did not fantasize about anything all too megalomaniacally from that particular context.
      When the question nowadays is raised as how it was possible that Germans cheered for Hitler, they need to know the background conditions. It was worse than most people assume.
      So, no, the US did not experience something similar since the Civil War, I guess. WWI was devastating to Germany. People kept dying from starvation, even after the Armistice of 1918, because the British navy kept the Sea Blockade, isolating the German ports from trade, so as to exert force on the "negotiations" in Versailles.

There was a real fear that the far left, the Bolsheviks, would take over, which frightened the middle class and ultimately played in the hands of the far right. I guess you cannot compare the 1920s with the world we have today, it was a way bigger mess back in the day.

      Also keep in mind that the Versailles Treaty required the Germans to hand over 1/3 of their produced goods to the Allies until 1966, which led in some places to starvation. The German economy could not hold up and quotas were not met. This resulted in the French sending Moroccan troops into the Ruhr to prey upon the population.. Eventually the Dawes Plan of huge loans was implemented, but when the Great Depression struck, the highly-leveraged German economy collapsed.

  • @marcelroy6034
    @marcelroy6034 10 місяців тому +829

    Interesting Dr Fergusson would say that Germany had exactly the same economic conditions as any other developed country during the Great Depression… I am no historian, but it seems to me that they went through defeat in WWI, followed by a revolution, unrealistic war reparations that were calibrated at crippling the economy (compulsory coal deliveries, I.e. a key production factor), long term foreign occupation of a great part of its industrial mainland (Rhineland), a horrendous starvation in the early 20‘s, run-away inflation in the early 20‘s way before the Krach in 1929, massive unemployment somewhere in the 40 percents…. Aside from Russia, which other European country faced similar conditions at the time (and see what happened there)? I cannot see that economic conditions can be disregarded as relevant as providing the necessary terrain for the Nazi ideology to take off. I wonder what would happen in e.g. France of the US if you had over 40% long term unemployment coupled with political humiliation?

We're supposed to believe that the most sophisticated and educated society in the world at that time, suddenly decided to put Jews in the ovens because the Austrian Painter gave rousing speeches? And 80 million Germans were deceived like little just children - just like that? Sorry, not buying it. The victors write the history, and if Nazi Germany had won the war, the official history (as being taught by Harvard professors) would be entirely different.

The destruction of the middle class. The complete lack of continuity. The loss of a whole value system and foundations of a culture. Did that only have negative consequences? Certainly not: it meant freedom and room for all kinds of experiments, avantgarde, progress, ideas. It also meant chaos and the destruction of "normality".

On the other side, he exerted control over minor and major capitalists (strong regulations and price control).

    The situation of Germany and US economically was also different. The reparations Germany had to pay for WWI were simply impossible. So, even though both countries suffered from depression, Germany was hit significantly harder. That, in combination with the shame associated withthe results and fillowing treatment of WWI were certainly fuel for what happened later....

    • @SwitchTalkChannel
      @SwitchTalkChannel 10 місяців тому +7

      Indeed, but that begs the question: why the shame, and why in that form? Also, what they had to pay was actually possible long-term, post-Depression. The Depression was an issue that the King failed to help, as did the Communists (they just kept crying a lot). The Nazis really were the only ones to offer a solution, which they then gave (hence, Hitler took Germany from about zero money to trillions very rapidly). The problem is that this was coupled with the rest of Nazism and quickly turned to complete madness (circa 1937 onwards). Partly, Hitler was able to fund this through the Party donations and theft.
      Of course, England had major issues in the 1950s and also owed America money, yet we also didn't turn to Communism or neo-Nazism or something (though some did try, actually). This implies there are still other fundamental difference at play (though, one could say that both England and America did take many of these elements on, as noted by Operation Paperclip, right. We can also go back to the 1920s with Julian Huxley and his types, and how that led to the Nazi-like structure we had across the West, and that is the heart of the EU and UN). Well, with the new events leading to global calls for the death of the Jews... we are right back to the 1930s, aren't we. This time, you don't have any grand Depression to blame or reparations. We see millions of rich students and otherwise crying for the death of the Jews and removal of the Jewish state from Earth -- filled with 10 million souls, far more than Hitler never controlled.
      You actually get far greater insight into this, both past and present, if you watch Jordan's 1996 lecture out of Harvard. That course is completely about WWII from the German viewpoint, and the viewpoint of if there is another way, and what births these different ways.

      @merlinkrause 10 місяців тому

      @@kevinjooss9348 Thanks for the tip and your elaborated thoughts. I want to challenge you on your first paragraph though from my personal perspective (German historian). That the amount Germany had to pay was close to impossible is showcased by the allies always changing the amount it had to pay. So even the allies understood the sum was too high to handle and kept lowering it (see: Dawes plan 1923, Young plan 1929, Lausanne Conference 1932). Also, Hitler's economic policy was built on printing money. He planned a big war to finance for it later from the very beginning (see: Hitler's Comments at a Dinner with the Chiefs of the Army and the Navy Feb 3, 1933). His "economic miracle" thus was never a real miracle but would have led to Germany's ruin if he was not able to finance it with the spoils of a future war. The theft of Jewish property and the donations you mention would not have been sufficient. Lastly, you asked why Germans were so ashamed. It mostly had to do with the mindset of the people at the time and certain articles of the Versailles Treaty. Germans were very proud and rigid people, their mindset being closer to the Japanese during WW II than anything we encounter today. My great-grandfather was exactly like this. From their viewpoint, failure was impossible and glory had to be achieved for Germany. Now when Germany lost the war that was already a traumatizing event in itself. People were ashamed of that and didn't want to believe it (see: Stab-in-the-back myth). Also the Versailles Treaty broke with many certainties and conventions of diplomacy of earlier centuries; let me give you three examples: Germany was not allowed a seat on the table and was just forced to sign it, article 231 made Germany solely responsible for the war (which is very debatable), article 227-230 demanded Kaiser Wilhelm II to be extradited and put in front of a trial (even though the allies never pulled through with this, the German public was enraged) and the allies kept changing their own rules to make Germany lose big parts of Silesia despite the proclaimed right of self-determination of peoples and votes of the population which would have resulted in a different outcome. Since many Germans could not accept this shame, they turned to rage against their former enemies, who, in their eyes, promised a fair peace (see: Wilson's Fourteen Points) and delivered an insult. Whether or not this true does not really matter, since the people believed it to be true and it changed their way of thinking accordingly.

    PhD history here. This is not my specialty, but I recently did some research on what democracies survived the interwar period and those that devolved into fascism. The common ground for the latter was their newness. All of those collapsed (including Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Japan), versus the British-derived democracies that had been around and evolved for a long time, including the United States, that overwhelmingly responded more resiliently. Germany was invented as a nation only in 1871, and even then as a Prussian top-down version of democracy (which became the model that Meiji Japan adopted). Another aspect was the strength of entrenched land-owning aristocracies which maintained power even within new democratic forms of government. Of course, it is very complex, but the Treaty of Versailles is not responsible for the rise of fascism in Spain, Germany, Italy and Japan. It simply exacerbated inherent weaknesses - add the Great Depression and WWI and you have catastrophe.

    The problem with the whole current situation is the inflationary use of the term Nazi as a general insult.
    If you stray even the slightest from the current samethink you are immediately branded a Nazi. The term has lost all meaning. If someone asks me on the street whether I'm a nazi I usually answer "probably in someone's eyes"
    We are not going to see it coming because we have people spewing unfettered hatred, but they are doing it in the name of progress so it is okay.
    We have people who are actively violent against others. But they are doing it in the name of progress and justice so it is okay.
    We have people rallying in ever shrinking tribal bubbles thinking they are working for the one just cause and that makes the means they use for their struggles okay.
    They don't even see that they are being manipulated. All it takes is for someone to capitalize on the whole situation, take control of a certain number of bubbles and unify them under a single war cry.
    World war 3 is coming but it will not be nation against nation. It will be civil war all over the place. Which is far more dangerous because those unhinged violent people will not be bound by any wartime conventions. They will wage the war that even Hitler dared not.

    In 1919, Germany had to cede numerous territories: Northern Schleswig to Denmark, the majority of the provinces of West Prussia and Posen as well as the Upper Silesian coalfield and smaller border areas of Silesia and East Prussia to the new Polish state, the Second Republic and all colonies to the victors. In 1921 it was also decided that Germany had to pay 132 billion DM in reparations. The country and its economy were completely ruined and devastated.
    The USA, which only joined the First World War in 1917, took all the German patents and industrial documents they could find with them in 1918. The patent office was empty.
    At the end of the 1920s, the Germans hardly had any work and were starving.
    btw, a *quick info:* Germany didn't start World War 1, it was Austria, but since Germany was bound to Austria by a defense treaty, it was dragged into it.
    Over 2 million men, some of them very young, died as soldiers in the war - a war with absurd orders and people as pure "cannon fodder".
    In addition, 700,000 German civilians died, and countless Germans starved to death after the war.

    What I miss in this discussion, is the elefant in the room about economics in Germany.
    Germany was due to pay reperations to Belgium and France after worldwar I.
    And was settled on 269 Billion Deutsche Mark, wich was more than their annual BNP.
    And Europe made use of these payments to pay the debts to the USA .
    The hyperinflation was a mix of bad economics worldwide in the 1930's and is due to this payments in Germany.
    That was the time Hitler rose and stopped these payments.
    The German people were starving, no wonder the German population stood behind Hitler, it was a matter of surviving.

Hitler or not, any other leaders who would have set these goals would have been cherished.

    • @gardenjoy5223
      @gardenjoy5223 9 місяців тому

      No, that's too simple an explanation and the video did address this briefly.
      There are many other countries with sometimes even starving people, who did NOT start a world war. Who did NOT become each other's worst enemy.
      The economics only paired with a deep desire of germans to feel important (they still have that today!) and with their overall tendency to blame others for their own mistakes (they constantly do this today!). I live in Germany for well over a decade. We are their victims. We have been seriously traumatized at least 12 times in the last 6,5 years in Westfalen. Which goes so far as suing you in court for their own mistakes! As trying to make you lose your income, based on pure slander. These are evil people! Selfish to the core of their being. Even they don't like each other, but fail to see they are part of the problem.
      Germans have three major character flaws: they are unrighteous, incompetent and love to abuse power.
      Here an example. My german foster daughter needed to apply for BaFöG (some fund of money to live of for students) for the first time. She collected all the necessary papers. She made a minor mistake on ONE paper. That caused the worker of her case to throw out ALL her work and force her to start all over again, which takes months in germany (days in other countries, where people actually serve the ones, they are supposed to serve...). My foster daughter didn't know what she was to live of! She was so afraid. And this didn't only happen to her either! Normal behavior would have been to help her correct the minor mistake and help her get the fund right away.
      Another example. I fell and hurt my back. Of the pain medication my legs got swollen, so I had to be hospitalized. I needed physiotherapy for my swollen legs to help them lose water more quickly. Instead they forced (!) me to learn to walk with crutches. By that time I could walk on the swollen legs again. Only my back was still badly injured. This was utter nonsense, but they earn more money with certain procedures. True story! I only tell true stories.
      Okay, one last one: we have a small business for which we must pay VAT. For our business it's normal to receive a down payment. In one year we were so small still, that VAT was not a thing yet. The next year, we did have to use it. You have to give them the VAT figures in a certain online form. Only thing is: it doesn't apply to our situation with down payments. There is no way to fill in the form correctly. So I called them and they don't even know how to fix it! I would be called back, but it's 11 months later and I haven't been called. They say they write all interactions down, but there is no recollection or record of my phone calls or my letters or of the phone call of my tax advisor! So they estimated what we had to pay and gave us a fine for being late on top! But They did not provide the help we needed. Not even to our tax advisor.
      Germans have a craving in them to reign supreme in their own little territory at work. But, since they are quite incompetent, they mess up. Then they unrighteously make You pay for their mistakes.
      The same seriously flawed mentality, that was in their (great) grandparents, also lives in them. They feel the need to be Important! They don't have the necessary knowledge or insight, so they botch it up. They then make You responsible for their mistakes. And when you complain... they go after you with true nazi mentality.
      Nothing has changed. With the right person in certain difficult circumstances, they will probably start all over again. Be warned. Beware.
      We are currently trying to flee from this wretched country, dissolving the business.

      Myself, two separate exchange student times. Live with a German family in Eggenstein, Germany. The father was 13 in early April 1945. Two weeks before the end of the European war, he was caught in a machine gun cross fire and his leg was severed at the knee. Yep, US troops. I am not sure whether it was a German medic or an American medic but whatever side the medic was on he did a heckuva job because my German father would’ve bled to death. And truth, like mini, I believe the treaty of Versailles at the end of the first world war was merely a time out for World War II. Our own president Wilson was pretty much against this treaty. Anyway this treaty basically bought time for the next go around. Why was my German father at age 13 trying to save Germany. No choice. Is he didn’t enter into the German service either he or his family would’ve been shot and killed or both. that’s just the way it was in many cases. I make no excuses for the German people and what they did. In my humble opinion, Germany realizes yes they can never win by a war. They can however create a new Germany and beat the business leaders of Europe. This they have done. Amazingly even though they took east Germany back with a tremendous set of economical problems, they survived.

    This was a very thoughtful conversation. As some earlier commentators mentioned it was not only the depression and inflation but also the reparations and - what it is more - the feeling of unjust treatment. That was the breeding ground for this anger. And Hitler gave easy answers to it. There is one aspect which is from my point of view very often forgotten: Germany lost it elite, its ruling circles. The Kaiser had to leave and all the way society worked and grew over centuries. It is a very bad idea to destroy the ruling structure of a country; changes have to come from itself over time. Up to now Germany lacks a real elite, real leaders. This vacuum was filled with Hitler. By the way my grandfather also pointed out the importance of the importance of the charimsatic personality of Hitler. He wanted to kill him because he thought without Hitler it wouldn´t have worked so well. But the lesson really is: It can happen everywhere if some circumstances come together. Loosing the ethics is one very important aspect.

  • @Andrew_L86

    I've studied a bit of WWII, mostly about combatants. My understanding of WW2 is that WW1 really wasn't over. Many soldiers returned home to Germany for "losing" the war, but they pretty much all felt betrayed by the "elite". Germany was not doing well and many soldiers had no food or homes, they were living in the streets eating rats. The population saw this unfairness and that idea of unfairness rose to the point they wanted change. The Nazi party used that and gave that underlining drive of the people for change an explained enemy (The Jews). They blamed the Jews and many people could stand on the street and see the contrast between how well the Jews were doing and those suffering. The Jews were not particular helpful of the nation's situation. However, I'd imagine things were so bad that the Jews had the view that if I try to help I'll be in the same situation as everyone else. The Treaty of Versailles added to this sense of unfairness. This unfairness and drive for change lead to Germany accepting many things we now see as terrible. However to them, it was necessary and justice. Germany did not see itself morally bankrupt. However, I do believe that much of the German population wasn't aware what they were doing to the Jews beyond rounding them up and sending them away. I'm not a Nazi apologist as I am grateful they were stopped. I just think it is important for people to realize how dangerous blame is. You get a crowd together that blames the same person/people and you let that fester or even feed it... it'll turn into an army willing to do anything to complete "justice".

      Both the UK and US wanted Germany to remain a power in europe, so they blocked terms that were too harsh. In fact, germany forced harsher terms on France in 1870 if you adjust for inflation IIRC, and that was with no damage done to german land, with the express goal to crush French economy.

And 2nd the result of the peace treaty of Versailles, that forced Germany to pay reparations and to give up their territory in east and west.
    That Hitler used the same train wagon to let France surrender shows the significance of the first event.
    After WW II the allies understood that to prevent a 4th Reich and a WW III they could not make the same mistakes again.

      For a primer on the types of books Nazi's burned: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_book_burnings
      The Weimar Republic period in Germany including the rise of the Nazi party was well documented because there was freedom of the press up until Hindenburg capitulated to allow Hitler become Chancellor. Even after that, US and other western reporters remained in Germany and reported on this period.
      I just finished Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" first published just 15 years after the end of the war which goes over this at length. It's an easy listen on Audible, but long. I highly recommend all American's listen or read how an authoritarian government worms their way into society--mandating that others come to their school of thought--or else...

    I have a feeling like the Anglosphere is greatly overestimating the role of the Holocaust in the ordinary German's lifes (or at least in politics). But if you find some full-lenght speeches you'll notice that they're almost never about jews. I challenge everyone who reads this to find me a part in any Hitler speech where he shouts evil things about the jews. My impression is, that most people believe it would be easy to do so, to a point where they would say "just listen one minute into it", but in reality he hardly ever even mentions them.
    Also Hitler seriously wanted to deport them to Madagascar up until the war broke out and that's circa what the public knew (and supported) about his bigger plans. I also need to remind everyone reading this, that the majority of Germans in 1933 were still simple village folks who spent their days taking care of their farms and fields. If they wanted to see a jew they had to travel to the next city, on horse carts. The real Holocaust started about two years after the war broke out, people had many topics to care about, with disappearing jews being rather abstract to most (all the village dwellers) while the bombers blazing their farms and all men getting drafted was a "very first-hand experience" so to say.

It was always a strange and exotic experience for them and you can honestly count the times they were there on one hand, for their whole lifes. That's how often they had the opportunity to cross ways with a jew, and that's about what role the whole topic played for them.

    It‘s even more convincing when you take into account the nihilistic ethical background after Nietzsches „Gott ist tot“, the collapse of political, economical and societal structures all at once after the forlorn war, Versailles, hyperinflation, depression and the resulting resentments therefrom.

That can be an explanation for the mass-psychosis in the 20s-40s under Hitlers reign, the Third Reich. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but I do think that Germans behave strangely similar in many cases. If you annoy a clerk in a cafeteria or gas station, you can be sure to receive the Schnauze and rude treatment. I'm not seeking to offend any German, but these are some thoughts that I've encountered and also observed as a Swede who has been a multitude of times in Germany and also lived 1 year in Berlin.

    The question asked is that why depression in Germany and in the US didn't result in the same outcome? The answer is elaborate but a fundamental difference is that the depression in the US was a product of failure of economic programs (self imposed), but the depression in Germany was mainly from the outside pressures on Germany to pay back it's debt to Europe that resulted from WWI (mainly) so it became a national struggle that led to a national social movement (unfortunately in its misguided form).

    • @jeweetzlfpappi
      @jeweetzlfpappi 10 місяців тому +1

      This! Thank you for pointing this out, it is a marked failure on the part of Dr. Fergusson to put Germany and the US on an equal footing. The depression hit much harder in Germany, which was severely economically weakened already by the terms of the Versailles treaty. Add to that the lingering food insecurity that had troubled the German state from the beginning of WW1, and that now turned into outright food shortages and hunger throughout society.
      Furthermore, the Weimar Republic became ever more dysfunctional as more and more radical splinter parties made it basically impossible for the Reichtag to effectively enact policy and govern the nation. A similar development could be seen in Austria, where Engelbert Dolfuss' Fatherland Front rose to power. But contrary to Austria, the structures of power that remained - or reaffirmed themselves - as Weimar democracy collapsed, were rooted much more in conservative militarism and virulent nationalist anti-socialist movements that had remained dormant in German society after the end of WW1, as the many Freikorps eventually disbanded into political or militia organizations. The US didn't have any of this, its a totally different story...

      When you think that Germany took 92 years to pay the Reparation Costs of 132 Billion Goldmarks, which is 2328.081 tons of Gold.
      Germany's Gold-reserve in 1919 was in US$ 259,546
      ( US$19.95 per troy-ounce of Gold in 1919)
      The US's Gold-reserve was US$ 2,093,138.
      Is it then a wonder that Germany's Economy was buggered?
      Also, I read some years back that War against Germany had already been planned by an early "Round Table" in the late 1890's early 1900's during the Boer War here in South Africa, by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner, Nathanial Rothschild (DeBeers Diamonds) and others......
      Although official Diamonds had been found in German South West Africa/Namibia at the mouth of the Orange River only in 1908, but Gold was found in 1899. In German East Africa Gold was found near Lake Victoria and mined in 1894. I can only assume that this could've been one of the reasons they wanted War with Germany, bar the German Governments support of the Boers against the British Empire.

When that did not work they started another world war but this time in addition to destroying Germany they also aimed to destroy the German nations mindset. This is why we still have all this allied imperialist war propaganda of axis bad and allies good. WW2 is an excellent example of how history is written by the winners.

    Hi, I'm German (born 1971, politically centre-left, I would be a Democrat voter in the US). According to my history lessons and what I've been told by older people here, there were some more things that played a role: 1. treaties of Versailles - in Germany they felt too harshly punished by these agreements, this perceived unfairness made them angry, they felt collectively treated unfairly. 2. appeals were made to the original German virtues of "doing the right thing", "being upright", "solidarity", "believing in the greater good" and "standing up against injustice". This strengthened cohesion and a sense of belonging, 3. the name of the party "National and Socialist" - i.e. for "us" and "together" (against the others who treated Germany unfairly at Versailles). 4. the Nazis also delivered real results at the beginning (not just motorways but a few other things) - so they were credible and people trusted them to be able to do the best for the country. They were seen as the ones who didn't just talk, but also acted and delivered results. Another German virtue. 5 Hitler was the orchestra master of what was in the people's soul and, we all agree, channelled it in the wrong, evil directions. PLUS: Probably the best branding and marketing of any party in history (emotional storytelling, design, stringency, clarity, rhetoric, etc.).

    Then there's also "Reichsbürger" who are germans who don't identify with the german state and say that they are citizens of the German Reich and not the modern Germany. They want to replace our current government with monarchy and put a legitimate prince in the position to rule Germany.
    Then there are also "East Germans" who don't identify as german but as east german because they say that everything in the east is now westernized and they don't identify with that.
    Then we also have actual remaining Nazi Groups who try to bring back the Third Reich.
    And last but not least there's also the Antifa, the radical lefts, who want to destroy the german state entirely because it has done too much bad in it's history.
    And those are all groups who in one way or the other not accept the Bundesrepublik Deutschland as "their country".
    Now include the devision between woke germans and conservative germans who at least recognize the government...
    And NOW imagine you have hundreds of thousands of people from other countries who just come to Germany for it's money and don't even learn the german language but identify themselves as "german" as a status symbol for being rich but actually still identifying with their original culture and THEN also not even recognizing the german state and having no respect for our police and for germans themselves (I experienced it myself).

    As a german myself I think I need to give my five cents to this conversation. Germany, especially in this time was the world leading country in terms of mechanics and engineering. There is a very long history of german engineering at least from the 19th century until today. One might say that engineerism is deeply embedded in the german DNA. An engineer tends to organize everything the engineer way, which means that adhering to rules, to the idea of precision, control and accuracy and to the idea of being efficent can lead to a mechanical miracle like the engine of a Porsche - but is also a proclivity to fascism. If you want to make a society as powerful and efficient like a Porsche, you must control literally every thing.

And foreigners in this society are against the rules just by their existence. Famous german engineering is now quite overestimated. American, or chinese is more famous. But that cold anti humanistic social engineering still there. And it does not makes society efficient, because it ignores motivation, and demotivates majority of population. Same as Marxism, also sort of social engineering.

      Except the truly rational planers, aren't moved by this. WWII was at least the third attempt of the Germans to break out of their geography into a world more like the British empire, or ideally the US empire with a continental reach, and both agricultural power, and industrial power. The Germans saw this as essential to their survival, and they presumably looked at what the cost was for the British and the US to respectively achieve their aims. Hell the Congo was decimated just to build some fancy buildings for the King, who seems to have been acting separately from the Belgian people at large. So what moral constraint did the Germans feel they should embrace? And the thing was. The Germans wanted to clear/murder 40 million people in the East in the first 2 years after Barbarossa. But the Russian had already had a start estimated as between 3 and 10 million people during the Holodomor, so it might have come down to a mater of German vs Russian administration.

      And not to forget how hypocritical the treaty was. It included many plebiscits in regions about to which country it will belong.

      The treaty wasn't economicly crippling, For one, France couldn't dictate the terms on its own, so the UK and the US made sure Germany would keep on existing, without being crippled too much. Some in the UK even thought France might become a rival, so they wanted Germany to remain a power.

But then they talk about “the demonic nature of Hitler’s appeal,” like this guy. I’ve never heard anyone give a steel man version of his complaints that he himself would sign off on. No one in history has been so caricatured and demonized for the purpose of controlling the current narrative. Everyone is so quick to agree that history is written by the victors, yet so slow to consider what that might actually look like if applied to recent history.

      The other thing no one seems to want to contend with: Hitler was determined that the central bankers were ruining the world. When he comes to power, he immediately cuts ties with the international bankers and makes a new currency, backed by, essentially, adding value to the German nation. Shortly thereafter, it takes the entire world to just barely defeat a country smaller than your average American state. Is that the power that comes from getting out from under the banker’s thumb? Is there not something profound that is demonstrated by this situation?

Unfortunately, being as foolish as he was, he never considered that giving more power to Hitler might've been a massive mistake. That is not to say that many among the upper class of Germany didn't support the Nazis. There're numerous examples to the contrary.

    A wonderful discussion. My own first degree was political science and languages, and as I grew to know more about the war, long gone when I was growing up, I became increasingly interested in how Hitler's power unfolded. (I experimented with a group of 11 year olds once, and showed them a video of Hitler (in German, which they could not understand) and Churchill (the "fight on the beaches" speech)). Then I gave them free rein to talk about both with me. They ALL thought that Hitler was "better". Why? "Because he sounded as if he meant it more". Another instructive experience for me was that in my small Yorkshire home-town there was a German ex-POW neighbour who had met a local girl and married her. I got to know him well, especially when I began learning German, and I liked him. He had been a parachutist in the Wehrmacht, not a Nazi. That said, he had supported Hitler's leadership. He explained why so many ordinary people in Germany were so against the Jews, though expressed horror at what had happened to so many of them. I won't go into it all here. It is always good to hear the other side of any argument... it made me wonder what I would have thought, and done, had I been a young German in the 1930s. (Edited for typos).

They had things in play that not only allowed for what happened, but were factors for it as well as fueled it's burn.

    Hi. Beeing a German and as I had very old and close relatives who survived it all, let me give you my impression. From the conversations I had with my aunt (died aged 104 and wanted to stab Göring, giving religious classes and spreading the "von Galen-Briefe" in the nighttime back then) or my father (aged 100) and so on, I learnd the following: The french lost the war 1870/71 and afterwards the german king had crowned himself as emperor in VERSAILLES. That was like hitting every French in the face. The French took revenge in the treaty of VERSAILLES at the end of WW1. Being quite prussian in their way of looking at things, this was an equally severe offense or shame to the Germans. Resulting in the "Dolchstoß-Legende" and things like that. The absurdly high reparation-payments to the Frech did not make things better in that crisis. In addition came the hyperinflation, hunger, los of perspective for almost everybody, world economic crises and the feeling of beeing betrayed and kicked into the dust. People would have listended to anyone who told them, they were great and had hope and a future. False prophets rise in the crisis. And in that situation the Nazis offered adventures to the Hitlerjugend and status to the hopeless. Showed "success" with Volkswagen and technical inventions, constructed the first autobahn, invented official holidays. To many people they were the making things better and whats more, presenting the ones to blame. This mixture in a still very hirachic society was toxic and gave the Nazis the space to act and take over control. And yes- lots of Germans back then wanted to punish the ones who were presented as the guilty, having caused the bad situation. Put some massive but practial lies to tha mixture and .... boom WW2.

It is university, anything with the preposterous claim of being political science is just an indoctrination scheme into how the ruling elite wants you to function. That has it's uses. Money is supposed to be the universal value, so if you want to organize people at something other than the muzzle of a gun, you impose an economic system.

      The International Jew is a four-volume set of antisemitic booklets or pamphlets originally published and distributed in the early 1920s by the Dearborn Publishing Company, an outlet owned by Henry Ford.
      […]
      Ford's International Jew was translated into German in 1922 and cited as an influence by Baldur von Schirach, one of the Nazi leaders, who stated "I read it and became anti-Semitic. In those days this book made such a deep impression on my friends and myself because we saw in Henry Ford the representative of success, also the exponent of a progressive social policy. In the poverty-stricken and wretched Germany of the time, youth looked toward America, and apart from the great benefactor, Herbert Hoover, it was Henry Ford who to us represented America."
      Praising American leadership in eugenics in his book Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler considered Ford an inspiration, and noted this admiration in his book, calling him "a single great man" Hitler was also known to keep copies of The International Jew, as well as a large portrait of Ford in his Munich office.

    I think there is one point that is often overlooked in the discussion about the reasons and that is the meaning of the monarchy. After 1918 the German political order was formally a democracy, yes. But the people were not used to think and act as a democratic souvereign. I think, Friedrich Ebert (SPD) was right at that time. He thought that Germany should keep a monarch after the 1st World War, embeded in a democratic system of course. But by taking out the monarchy the only factor that could have provided some outlasting continuity and orientation in challenging times, was removed.

    One difference between Germany and the other countries in the experience of the economic problems of the 1920s was, that Germany were also entirely blamed for WWI and having been stripped of a lot of territory, ethnic discrimination against Germans including killings in Poland, the Rheinlandbesetzung, and so on and so on. Germans at the time (perhaps rightfully so) felt subdued and pushed around by almost every other major country around them.

    I had parents who lived through that period, old enough to remember mass un-employment and hyperinflation in the 1920s. I learned a lot about that time period from first-hand accounts. While not a historian I read a lot of the literature that describes the general mood of thas era. To suggest that Germany's situation, politially and economically was comparable with other countries, is simply misleading. The war reparations contributed significantly to the hyperinflation, which led to entire socio-economic groups loosing everything. Those groups and their sense of helplessness in the face of financial ruin made them extremely susceptible for the Nazi ideology. What also did not help was the neutering of the Christian centre-right party by the Vatican in Rome.
