First of all, no Godwin.
If it was 1933 and you were in Germany and poor, the mark was worth nothing. The country was humiliated by Verailles. Can you remove your historical blinders and admit you would follow it? I would have, all those parades etc. |

It would have been difficult. I would have been arrested and in the first Camps.

To me that's the bit that gets glossed over far too often, Hitler had a huge number of people supporting him and his objectives. And in 1933 why wouldn't they, i think i might have done, nationalism was somewhat different to now, especially in countries and times of little resource.
It's the latter years support i never quite understood, some people were still very happy to turn in jews to the authorities even as late as 1944, isnt that how Anne Frank was captured by the regime in Amsterdam near the end of the war? |

Me as I am now? I don't think so, I would have been put in a camp too if I was the same then as I am now. I have schizophrenia and would've been put in a camp with disabled people or shot / gassed. I'm not Jewish by the way, it's just my health that would've made me a target.

I've no idea. Let me think which huge popular movement was growing in Germany in 1933-38 which in hindsight was a terrible thing.

Hitler came to power the year I was born. His influence on my life was quite significant.

i`ve never been one for going against what i think is right or caring how much of a minority that puts me in so i think it highly unlikely.

Maybe. I was always fascinated at how the Nazis quickly managed to establish their aesthetic in Germany, all the symbology, flags, uniforms, badges, miltary ranks etc etc

the nazis set the bar very high, so that only very tall blond haired blue eyed people could get a drink.
He was given a soft-top VW Beetle as a 50th birthday present, but no drink ? |

Quite possibly. Same as, born in a different time/place, I might well have supported slavery, colonialism, the class system etc.
Same as if I could live for another 100 years I would probably cringe at some of the things I support now. |

We know that most people support all the things that fascists wish to do. Initially.
Eventually, when the reality is shown to be cruel/inhuman, there is a movement away. In a democracy this usually means the fascists fall. So fascists make sure there is no democracy. |

If it meant either die a slow or painful death or join them, I'd join them.

But then they say "Do you have a Pick-Axe handle and want to come out with us and smash a few heads?"
