Hitler and the Nazis progressively removed an entire nation's liberties through a democratic system through propaganda and other methods. They then led their nation and the world into the most devastating war the world has ever seen. Simultaneously, they also had their nation work to exterminate entire groups of people from Europe (and ultimately the world if they had their way) - shockingly, they made significant progress.
There's a number of things about that which could pique at least some curiosity. Psychology, sociology, economics, politics, etc.
The curiosities are no less because Hitler was stark mad, which I agree with, and because the regime was abhorrent, which I also agree with.
- capote 11y agoNot much about Hitler is news to me, from any of these responses. I'm not discussing Hitler and what we can learn from him, however. I'm talking about the book, for which my point stands. It's very poorly written, full of hatred, and appeared of little intellectual use to me from the passages I've read. It's total garbage. Maybe you and all my downvoters can actually answer my question, which still stands and is reasonable: what kind of discussion do the annotations present? I'm only curious.
- elorant 11y agoThe annotations could give historical context and try to debunk his arguments. A lot of Hitler's arguments are based on exuberant lies. For example, in the English translation I tried to read once upon a time the translator mentions that the first half of the book was written while Hitler was imprisoned in a fortress. To some extend I guess that would justify his anger. That, and the fact that his was a fucking psychopath.
