- nostrademons 16y agoRight, it's the "and contributed to" part that I'm referencing. Godwin's Law is "...a comparison involving Hitler or Nazis..." Usually once you reference the Weimar Republic, people immediately think of the rise of the Nazis ten years later. It's an implicit comparison, even if the words are never mentioned.
