Re: "The German priest, Martin Luther [ys"v], may be the father of German Nazism, a proto-Nazi. "
Luther was nothing of the kind.
Nazism is a socio/polical/economic creed based entirely on a Socialist national economy with membership in a racially superior group the sole prerequisite for citizenship.
Nazism is governed and led by an absolute dictator functioning as a combined spiritual, military, and political head of state.
Martin Luther was The Father of Protestantism, the great schism which forever divided the world of European Christendom between the Catholic and Protestant world. Luther was the first to openly lead a revolt against his own Catholic Church leadership to protest the excesses and corruptions which were then being practiced by its priests and given sanction by the Pope and Bishops. Even so, he remained a loyal Catholic Priest. Late in life he began experiencing hallucinations and suffering spells of mental confusion. During his youth he was very much a friend to the Jews of Germany; only in his last years did he begin "battling demons" within his study and ranting about the Jews' refusal to accept Jesus as their messiah. Martin Luther is solely responsible for the existence of all Christian Church denominations outside of the Roman Catholic Church [with certain notable exceptions such as the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches, Egyptian Coptic, etc...].
Luther lived during a time in which the very concepts of equality, socialism, racism, voting, genocide, redistribution of the wealth, capitalism, etc. were alien and unknown. It was a time during which the sole and total authority in all of Europe was The Church of Rome. To call Luther a "proto-Nazi" is at best a miscategorization revealing a poor grasp of both Christian history and European history. Germany and Germans no more equal "Nazism" than does the Southeastern U.S.A. equal the KKK.
It is an unfortunate fact that all too many post-WWII Jews have been conditioned by their Jewish elders to shout "NAZI!" in a kneejerk reaction with the mentioning of anyone througout history unfavorably disposed to Jews and Judaism. It's most difficult to win any arguments, debates, or friends favorable to JTF and Kahanism when one views the entire population of the globe outside of the Jewish People as "nazis" by virtue of their dislike for Jews.
*The U.S.A. today has no less anti-Jewish views and beliefs than did the German people before Hitler's rise to power. Nazism was not the inevitable sum total conclusion of being a German. It was a sudden radical development born from the complete collapse of Germany's political, economic, social, and military following WWI, which included abject humiliation on an international level, along with an impossibly punitive "war reparations' tax laid on her by the victorious Allied powers at the Treaty of Versailles. Her territories and colonies were stolen from her, her factories were shuttered, her military power made illegal - all while the Communist Party grew to become the second largest political party and power inside Germany. The "legitimate" parties and politicians heading the Weimar government were roughly the equivalent of what we now have here in Washington, worsening the situation with each and every every act of legislation. There was no shortage of "in your face" media hounds and professional attorneys with Jewish surnames, promoting Communism, lesbianism, internationalism, Esperanto, free love, nudity, and filth in cinema and the arts. In Germany then, as in American now, liberals and elitists corrupted academia and brought on financial scandal and swindles within the banking system. Daily all-out warfare raged in the streets between well organized Communist militia gangs armed to the teeth (their leadership and ranks full of Jewish surnamed Marxist atheists) vs loyal German militias composed primarily of disenchanted and disenfranchised troops returned from the WWI trenches in disgrace. Eventually the economy crashed so terribly that child prostitutes were found throughout Berlin, and a loaf of bread cost literally millions of Deutschmarks, leading a large portion of the German population to starvation and ruin. To Germany's east lay Joseph Stalin threatening to seize all of Europe. To its west lay its oppressor enemies France and England who were in large part responsible for its humiliations and trouble. It is THIS scenario (actually far worse than could ever be described in so short a paragraph) which gave rise to a German population willing to literally believe and accept anything promised by anyone as a last desperate attempt in reversing Germany's dire plight. Germans and Europeans in general may have had no particular love for the Jews in their midst, but it took these conditions of collapse and despair to make a cultured and highly educated people react with mass psychosis.
