mord: "The S.A. [stormtroopers] were filled with gay communiss "
Very true.
The Nazi leadership welcomed without question any and all Marxists who "saw the light" and would switch sides from international socialism to "National Socialism".
Hitler early on claimed that all he learned about the use of terror, brutality, and dirty tricks, he learned from the street tactics of the German Communists.
Look at how the American Left is already steeped in Jew-hate and imagine how easily most of them could simply switch their allegiance overnight from that of "global socialism" to a more uniquely American Nationalist Socialism" -- all without having to drop their hatred of Jews!
Then you can understand how Hitler quickly and easily consolidated his power base back in the 1920's and 1930's.
And don't forget: The NSDAP promised that Germans would have food, medical care, education, employment, and national pride, and it delivered on those promises, using hatred of the Jew as its rallying point to unite the masses.
Sound far-fetched from what we see and hear all around us today?
One of the most interesting facts about human behavior proven by the Nazi rise to power was that the opposition parties were the first to dissolve and switch allegiances to the new status quo.
This proved that it is only the non-committal and the neutral majority of a population which poses the greatest threat to an authoritarian regime.
