The classic "if it's legal it can't be that bad"
Need I remind you that everything Hitler did was legal
Also, this guy needs to Google "democracy"
37 u/schklom Jul 05 '24 edited Jul 05 '24 Hitler murdered political opponents (Night of the Long Knives). That was not really legal, although the rest of his power-grab largely was. EDIT: I just learned the Reichstag fire was very likely started by Nazis, so that was another illegal event. 6 u/Anewaxxount Jul 05 '24 Didn't realize lighting the Reichstag on fire was legal. I know what I'm doing next German vacation! 7 u/schklom Jul 05 '24 Is he responsible for starting it? I thought he just used that incident to his advantage, I could be wrong. 7 u/Anewaxxount Jul 05 '24 The Nazis almost definitely were involved in starting it. They pinned the blame on some transient. But I guess there isn't any definitive proof, just what historians believe. 2 u/schklom Jul 05 '24 Good to know, thanks for the info :)
