In May 1919 an army political agent attended a lecture by economist Dr Gottfried Feder entitled "The Abolition of Interest Servitude." That agent went on to be Chancellor of Germany in the 1930s and he put Feder's ideas into practice.
Shortly after Hitler came to power, we saw headlines like: "Judea Declares War On Germany." Basically, the money-lenders were strongly opposed to any government banning usury, that is, lending money and charging interest.
Now remember how Germany was trying to recover from WW1, the horrendous reparations and raging inflation in which everyone's savings were reduce to almost nothing in less than a year. They did great things between 1933 and 1940. It is amazing what can be done once the shackles of the money-lenders are removed. The first few minutes of this have the details:
Consequently, Hitler had to go. The Poles tortured and killed many Germans who now found themselves living in Poland (Russians living in Ukraine, anyone?) and despite many attempts at a peaceful solution there was a military intervention and that was all the excuse needed for the world to go to war again. Were the Poles told to provoke Germany, one wonders.
I suspect that the history of the "victims" of Germany at that time was written by those victims so as to maximise sympathy and to show Germany and its leadership in a bad light. The moral of the story is: Do not upset the money lenders.
