A free debate over history is absolutely necessary and welcome.

And as you correctly point out, saying Hitler was the monster alone is very wrong too. There were numerous allies, from italy over russia to japan. But his strongest followers were here in Germany. Imagine just 30% of Germans had stand up against Hitlers grab for power, he would just be a side note in history.

Obviously, Hitler was able to get to power and it is crucial for us to know why that worked and how he was able to generate so many followers.

IMO, the danger of Hitler was the fact that he was able to get people to follow him no matter what. It's sad to see that he still appeals to people like Ecclestone and others.
