A fascinating inside view of Nazi Germany

[El Casey S]

For me, living in Berlin right now and looking at the US it brings up so many images that I have become sensitive to over the last 16 years. I thought this was a very insightful article. What is Very important is to remember that this is a description of NAZI Germany 1933- 1945 - NOT PRESENT DAY GERMANY!

Then there was the economic factor, the terror associated with having no money with which to live. One reads Haffner's description of the hyper-inflation crisis, but it's difficult to accept or understand: "No other nation has experienced anything comparable to the events of 1923 in Germany. All nations went through the Great War, and most of them have also experienced revolutions, social crises, strikes, redistributions of wealth, and currency devaluation. None but Germany has undergone the fantastic, grotesque extreme of all of these together; none has experienced the gigantic, carnival dance of death, the unending, bloody Saturnalia, in which not only money but all standards lost their value.

. . .

Given their built-in weakness and their willingness to swallow the most outrageous Big Lies emanating from the propaganda ministry and the media, most Germans were fruit waiting to be plucked by the Nazi harvesters.

Wonderful article ECS! It really scares me though, cause it does sound a bit too familiar.
