The Forgotten History of Hitler’s Establishment Enablers

The Forgotten History of Hitler’s Establishment Enablers

A chilling read. It’s an essay based on a new book that the author describes as «an aggressively specific chronicle of a single year, 1932». Zooming all the way in, that chronicle tells the story of «how a country with a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery handed absolute power over to someone who could never claim a majority in an actual election and whom the entire conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following.»
