While its true that a number of factors made the rise of Hitler possible - like incompetent politicians in the Weimarer Republik causing poverty and the desire for change - it doesn't change the fact that he was a loonatic. This gets more and more evident over time, especially after the beginning of the war.
And its worrying to see, how history tends to repeat itself and how little some people have learned from the past.
