I'm still reading a lot about Hitler/ WWII. Currently making my way through The Holocaust: A New History, by Laurence Rees, author of Hitler's Charisma, the last book. Some parallels are beyond striking. There were people who praised Hitler because he 'told it like it was', rather than follow the political mold of before. I'm most interested in how the average mind could be flipped to evil. I remember, I think this was in a documentary, that one of the first thing the Nazis did was give away radios, so that everyone could follow them. I suppose that before TV, a radio was like every social media site tied together in one big bow.

@Expat1975 you have to remember that most Germans weren't evil, but that they had to tow the party line and beliefs because of you didn't you did a disappearing act.

Nazi Germany had zero tolerance for dissedence and didn't hide the fact.

Beyond that you had the gestapo and kids in many cases that would turn in there own parents if they weren't loyal (brainwashing from the Hitler youth and schools)
