“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms.”
– Adolf Hitler
Tens of millions considered the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party their savior after returning the German nation to prominence post-World War I. Even with the full horrors of the regime yet to come, there were stark warning signs the people choose to ignore for the sake of national pride, revenge for Versaille, and the abhorrent notion of anti-Semitism.
Hitler started the Second World War in 1939, which ultimately claimed 60-80 million lives and left the German people with a shame they have yet to overcome.
