Synopsis by Alice Day
In the aftermath of WWII, many have asked how an individual such as Hitler could come to lead a developed nation. Not only was he the undisputed head of state, but the general public in Germany lent him their support. In addition, Germans threw their loyalty behind the Gestapo and the concept of Nazis with few questions. The Nazis: Warning From History - Helped Into Power analyzes these attitudes and presents reasons for their ascent, including Hitler's charisma, propaganda, the Wall St. crash, and terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.
