I am 74 years old. I met persons who lived in Germany during the 1930’s. People in the US today don’t read history. They don’t know anything about WWII much less WWI and the events that led up to the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany. Instead of digging for the facts they just accept the propaganda and make uninformed comments on the Internet. Hitler told the German people that he would restore Germany to her status as a great nation after the humiliation of WWI and the poverty of economic depression. It was a “Make Germany Great Again” program and it was very appealing to the German people.
