LOL....

I can tell some you all posting here have never read Mein Kamp or some of his personal journals. Which Hitler wrote as a young man in prison, he dealt with an influx of immigrates coming into his country taking jobs all at the expense of his own country man. This internal struggle led to his utter hatred for Jews at what he viewed as them doing to his country. It led to the formalization of his views and the peoples socialist German workers party.

As far as the poster above throwing his agenda or appeasements into the argument. Well buddy I too had a great great grandfather who had his arm shot off in the civil war. I have deep roots into the south and I promise you there are very few that run as deep. However, your misstatement of the slavery issue and the civil war is just not right. While I will not argue it was a component of the times, the main reasoning for the civil war dealt with too high tariffs on goods and sovereign states rights more so then slavery issues. As radical as those in charge of our political system are today, they were considered more so during the pre-civil war environment. As matter of fact, the movie Lincoln is an accurate depiction of when the civil war was winding down, how they threw the slavery issue on the end of it in negotiations. Speaking of Lincoln maybe you should read some of his statements and you just might find out that he was not the great emancipator you think he was. For Lincoln definitely had opinionated views on the subject.

No comparison to our current border crisis was intended and the two are not even similar. So, please do not jump to a conclusion that was not there. I too prescribe that paranoia got the best of Hitler and if he had kept his cool or trusted his Generals more and not over reached then he could very well have accomplished his goals. For he was closer than most people realize. Again, some of you all should READ the ACTUAL publications of historical figures before you comment on what you think they meant or what their intentions were. I love to read the old speeches and publications of historically significant leaders. You can gain a huge insight into not only what their intentions were but how things were at that particular time.
