In America, the public is given zero information on the "Weimar Republic," the period in Germany post-WWI that led to the rise of the NationaI SociaIists in 1933. This is deliberate. The period holds too many secrets to the modern world. This thread will expose those secrets.

People do not understand how politically convulsive the 1919 Revolution was (depose the Kaiser, surrender to the Allies, and succumb to a succession of communist/socialist government) and how economically devastating the deficit-spending policies of the Weimar Government were. Or how chaotic and confusing the political landscape was, with weird and overlapping variants of socialism in contest with Red Communists (whom the public greatly feared). Finding any kind of unity against the Communists was precarious, and the Nazis made a reputation of opposing them by armed struggle if necessary. It was not a pleasant time, and all directions led into murk. All feet were made of clay.
