Liked and shared. Love the content. Don't always agree with your conclusions, but your videos are always watch-worthy.
A few small exceptions, if you don't mind.
Hitler and the conservatives: look at the initial list of NAZI card issues. Fritz Thyssen and Alfried Krupp are close to the single digits. Where did Hitler get his campaign funds from? The giants in German industry. He was a tool of conservatives, but not all conservatives are on the same page. Just like today.
Conservative ran the rails that brought freikorps their arms, food, and ammunition. Conservatives pressed for Black List laws to prevent workers from leaving conzerns until the owner wanted them gone. Conservatives ran company schools, churches, and marched workers to the polls to vote in owner approved lots. Never inhibiting these extraordinary privileges, NAZIs proved they were owner friendly. Like the conservatives, however, not all NaSDAP rank and file members (or their leaders) were on the same page. The one "in the pocket of the owners-our friend Adolfus the Mad, won because he had the funding.
Like all monetary political activism, there was buyers' remorse after, leading to revisionist accounts now broadly accepted.
