I have no idea, however, what is motivating you to say these things here.

Nothing sinister, patent, I assure you.

You get a little exercised yourself, sometimes.

[a history buff]

The reparations mandated by Versailles were designed to and did causing stagflation and worse which, under the terms of the treaty would have lasted until 1986. The idea was to keep the Germans hungy, cold and impotent. Germany was split between Catholics, Protestants, Socialists, and Junkers who were so disparate as to no be able to agree on much of anything. Between 1918 and 1933 most members of the German middle class lost their savings, not once but twice.

Hitler was seen as the only candidate who, being none of the above, would be able to paper over those differences and cut that hated treaty-imposed tax.

I would suspect that the "statesmen" responsible for deliberately messing the country up so thoroughly had long lost their souls. Judgement, however, is not mine.

I’m always exercised. Your usually calm.

God bless,
