Downfall: opening the book on the final days of Adolf Hitler
Good flick (netflix). I wondered if it was based on fact so I googled.
It makes me wonder why one person had so much sway over so many people who did such awful things....for such an evil man.
I wondered the same thing so I read his book several times and read several WW2 histories and watched a lot of old History Channel documentaries.
Ultimately I think the little people put Adolf into power, the same as with Trump.
From that point on Adolf systematically murdered his opposition the same as Stalin did.
When he finally had complete power he remobilized for war the same as Reagan did.
When he became really strong then England and France and even Russia were afraid of him and gave him everything he wanted.
The last straw was Poland, which Adolf and Stalin had divided together.
England called that the last straw and precipitated WW2 at that point.
Then Adolf simply grabbed France, his arch enemy.
He was at his height of popularity after his capture of Paris. The Germans thought he was a god at that point. They worshipped him then.
When he turned on Stalin everyone was afraid he had become unglued.
He had.
But the Germans trusted him because he had won every engagement so far.
Russia was his downfall.
Normandy was the final nail in his coffin.
So imagine Trump 5 to 8 years from now and you have Adolf all over again.
