I visited a trench in France operated by the Germans in WW1.

The tour guide said that Adolf Hitler's regiment had been at this trench and that Adolf had gone over the top.

I said "That's nothing, you should have see what he did in WW2".

I was not invited to the afternoon session.

Thaelmann and his KPD were just as bad --  if  not, worse, given Thaelmann's metaphorical orgasming over Stalin -- and bear a big part of the blame for Hitler coming to power.

Terrifying the German middle class with threats of confiscating their property will do that.

Anyone who spends eleven years in solitary confinement interspersed with torture deserves some respect, but it does not remove him or his party from blame or their share of the responsibility.

The Nazis didn�t actually have an election majority though. And in the last Reichstag election before Hitler was appointed Chancellor the Nazis had actually lost seats, though they remained the largest party (ie., they had a plurality of seats)

The NSDAP and KPD combined had the most seats in the Reichstag. A stable majority government committed to democracy was impossible.
