Don't think I'll link it but you can find it. it's fuckin wild listening to him talk about valid concerns over how Germany was treated after WW1 and then launch into annihilating Jews like a psychopath

It's part of what made him resonate honestly. Germany absolutely got fucked at the end of the war. Some of it was deserved, but to saddle them with the full blame for what happened, then continue the blockade after the armistice (leading to an additional 100k deaths) was signed, then to attempt to permanently cripple them with reparations was asking for trouble in the long term.

Problem was Hitler's argument was essentially "this shouldn't have happened because we should have won the war. We didn't because WE WERE STABBED IN THE BACK BY THE JEWS". Which was entirely nonsensical.

yea. I wonder sometimes if ww2 could have been avoided if the Allies hadnt fucked over Germany so hard after WW1

In the speech I listened to he called attention to 800k children starving to death after the war and like France taking 1 million cows

Whether those are actually the numbers idk

It doesn't really matter if the numbers are true to be honest. Weimar Germany was in such a state in the 20s, it was on the verge of becoming a failed state. The government of the day was not addressing the issues of ordinary Germans such as massive unemployment and riots on the street.

People then start to look to the extreme left (Communists) and the extreme right (National Socialists) in an attempt to find a new way. The establishment, especially President Hindenburg, would rather have a man like Hitler in charge than any communist.

Famously, when Hitler became Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor von Papen joked that he'll have Hitler cowering in the corner like a mouse when he's finished with him.

One of the things that led up to it was Germany asking France for a reprieve of the payments and they said no so Germany basically destroyed their own economy by printing money needed to pay back the debt.

I didn't really fully understand why they put all the blame on Germany. It feels like they were just a scapegoat and all that was left to blame after the ottomans were completely destroyed.

No. The general consensus is about 100k people died in the post war era due to the blockade. With about 750k dying of starvation during the war from said blockade.

Also no on the cows thing. They did take a ton of livestock though.

Hitler was a bit prone to hyperbole. He was also just a fucking liar. So whether or not he thought these things were true or he was just being hyperbolic for the sake of riling his audience is hard to say.
