  1. Hitler tapped into the belief in the mythological Germany, the one that was able to defeat enemies no one else could going back to the height of the Roman Empire. Like every good myth, it was a mixture of truth and lies but most importantly it was this sense of destiny that had been active in the culture for more than a century. I don't agree with FDR on very much but I do agree with his stand that the Germans needed to be shown that they got their asses kicked. That meant taking the place over entirely. Churchill was pissed when FDR sprung unconditional surrender on the world but that was because Churchill was old school and fought a 20th Century war with a 19th Century imperialistic mindset. Could someone beside Hitler tap into that sense of superiority and destiny? I say yes. Germany was as ready for Hitler as Hitler was for Germany. It was a match made in Hell. You can't kill that many innocent men, women, and children on an industrial scale unless you have murder in your heart. It's like those Manson family girls who tried to pin it all on Charlie and the control he exercised over them. You can't behave that viciously unless Satan himself has set up shop in your soul. Yeah, Hitler knew how to exploit a situation, and he was a true believer, but if he hadn't come along, someone else would have. They may not have been as bloodthirsty, but the Germans, despite their hesitancy and lack of enthusiasm compared to 1914 were itching for a rematch. A lot just didn't like the timeline is all. But they wanted their "rightful" place in the sun.
