more than just feeling like they'd been disproportionately punished, they actually *were*-- they were devastated economically, physically, mentally/emotionally, and honestly when you're that far down you start becoming willing to buy some crazy shit.

yes, this, a thousand times over. I'm constantly irritated by the fact that a huge number of people don't realize that if things had happened differently at the end of WWI, WWII might never have happened. >:(


(not to mention that things would be very different in the Middle East and Africa!)

There was a story my history teacher used to tell about one of his family members in postwar Germany seeing a basket of Deutschmarks out on a bench, that someone had forgotten. By the time he emerged from the store, the basket had been stolen - but not the Deutschmarks in it. Because the basket was worth more than they were.

I mean, most of us can't even conceive being in that dire economic straights.

I remember reading that--about how they printed so many sheets of money and people were just using them as fire fuel because they were so worthless.

I've heard that story, although the setting was the US during the Depression. The point remains.

Thank you for proving that this community is overrun with Nazi apologists.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-25 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Viewing history objectively=being a Nazi apologist. Dat logic.

You know, every so often I have the suspicion that you post all these WWII secrets yourself so you can make accusations of Nazi apologism and feel all superior inside.

Fess up. It's all a sophisticated self-pleasuring mechanism.

Agreed, though I think it's important to remember that their economic privations were made much worse by wealthy currency speculators within the nation, who kept sabotaging the recovering economy for their own benefit (much like the people in Ireland who were actually exporting food during the great Potato Famine.) I think it needs to be said, because I've met lots of people who actually think that the entire historical context in which Hitler came to power was caused by the Treaty of Versailles. Some of them are actually like "The nations that won WWI actually caused WWII, because they put Germany under such horrific pressure that they had no choice -" and it's like "lol no."

I wasn't aware of that tidbit. Thank you for the info.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-25 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
this is true, but we can no more blame the entire nation for those greedy assholes than we can blame all Americans for the greedy bankers and whatnot who caused our current worldwide economic conundrum.

I hate how it's always the population that suffers for the greed of just a few. :(
