Regarding Hitler's rise to power, yes it was legal, he got 30-40% of the vote, he then made deals with the president, who could pass laws by decree in times of emergency, he created an emergency by burning down their parliament, then took advantage of that, and done.
Just to clarify a few things, if all germans are eternally darned then I am darned, tracing my family tree, you will find a German who came to the UK in the early 1900s, long before hitler, but he was still a german, the rest of that side of my family trewe is english, on the other side of my family tree you wwould find a mixture of Jews and germans, and one englishman. I would never try and defend the nazis, I have Jewsh ancestors who were murdered by them. But, not all Germans are nazis.
Lisa: I never said that the 30-40% that voted for the nazis didn't absolutely love them, only that it was only 30-40%.
judeanoncapta: Nazi germany did deserve destruction, and has been destroyed.
