He propelled himself as the Voice of his people and set the tone to enhance his image, by causing damage to a defunct structure.World War II was one of the bloodiest wars in history. The unprovoked German attack on Poland in 1939 set the war in motion, and it raged for six years until the Nazis were defeated in 1945. Unfortunately when the time came to take over the reins, his position was usurped by his own, who claimed to have a better vision for the people. It was a brutal six years, with more than 50 million soldiers and civilians killed in the war. A large portion of the death toll was due to the genocide of six million European Jews killed by Hitler’s directives. Death camps and concentration camps contributed one of the deadliest genocides in history. This genocide was carried out in stages, with the extermination camps eventually posed as “the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”  Anti-semitism was not a new concept when Hitler rose to power—and he preyed on this fear of the other by scapegoating Jews for the economic problems and social unrest Germany was facing after World War I.

It took resources, supporters, and infrastructure. Of course there was nothing in the newspapers about the Nazi bunkers. That was very much a taboo subject, as was everything about the Nazi period. That is what the media fed and the public consumed it. Do you see history repeat itself
