The question is one of time.

It worked... for how long?

Much of their early success came from (1) stopping the state from doing the really stupid stuff it had been doing (2) streamlining the welfare state and, most importantly, (3) going back to supply-side economics.

Deporting Jews and gypsies was a sane idea but it morphed into a crazy slave labor program.

Starting WW2... they got duped into it, perhaps, but they were going on a path that would obviously end that way.

Hitler was butthurt over WW1 -- I find it hard to blame him -- and tried for a rematch.

WW1/2 and Civil War stuff makes me queasy anyway. I like to read about Vietnam because I think killing Communists is a path to sainthood.
