Germany was almost dead. One couldn't carry enough money to buy a loaf of bread.

If memory serves, the hyperinflation was long since past by the time the Nazis came to power. That aside, you're not paying attention. The point was not that the time is ripe at present for such an eventuality, but that the circumstances are such that the seeds of autocracy can easily be sown by the election of a strong-willed, unprincipled populist like Trump. Obama and the Congress have in fact already begun the process, the former by circumventing the Constitution with impunity; the latter by passively sitting back and allowing him to do it.

You are wrong.

1919 Hitler started his rise to power. In 1923 Hyper inflation peeked.

Have you seen “World War II in Color.”

Much of it is “colored” film made by Germany, Japan, Russia, Italy and the allies during World War II. Having the Axis films added to the Allies film gave me an understanding that I never knew from watching just the allies film.

I grew up during World War II one mile from a “practice bombing field” for B17’s.

We had Army people coming by on the road all the time who were building practice structures on the field.
