“wanted to try to understand why the Germans follow this man.’ ‘And do you know why?’ ‘I think so. The Germans are a very militaristic and proud race. They were devastated and shamed by losing the Great War. German speaking peoples and territories were annexed into other countries and the repatriations that they had to pay under the Versailles treaty bankrupted their country. It was bad here in Britain after the war, but it was much worse in Germany. Hitler restored their pride, restored their economy, regained their lost territories and generally made the people feel that their country was great again.”
