The Nazis made careful use of symbolism to be appealing to the masses. They borrowed from ancient India (the swatsika (sp)), and from ancient Rome (those rods with an eagle on them which were carried in parades). Hitler was a master at charming people at least initially until he went completely bonkers.

Yeah, he had everyone so fooled initially that US senators were suggesting that perhaps we look to Germany as an example of a way to get out of the depression.

Nazism was visually stunning, but so are most corrupt regimes. If you can entice enough with imagery you can do anything.

Oh, shiny explanations, true, very true *nod* Now I remember an interesting document about how much of nazism was based on these megalomaniac unrealistic ideas (example: all people are supposed to be "beautiful" which of course=good, and any means are acceptable to achieve this) an example of what happens when artists take over, lol
...and here I was thinking those uniforms are so hot because of the evill-ness aspect. You know, dark=sexy... :P

But what about the puffy pants? Aren't they a bit dorky? <_<
