why was it so difficult to resist Hitler?
605787
Many German people did not try to resist Hitler because he came to power through gaining their trust.  Hitler was voted into power by the German people themselves and they had great faith in him.\n\nhttp://www.stfrancis.edu/srsymposium/projects/hist/kkorst_hist.pdf\n\nthat should help.

Hitler was a good guy

Because in Hitler's mind, the Jews were Untermenschen, i.e., 'underlings' or 'subhumans', who were seen as both biologically inferior and a potential challenge to the superiority of the 'Aryans'.\nHitler's book Mein Kampf makes clear Hitler's racist worldview, dividing up humans based on ancestry. Hitler stated that German "Aryans" were at the top of the hierarchy, and assigned the bottom of the order to Jews and Gypsies. Hitler went on to say that dominated peoples benefit by learning from the superior Aryans. Hitler further claimed that the Jews were conspiring to keep this "master race" from rightfully ruling the world, by diluting its racial and cultural purity and by convincing the Aryans to believe in equality rather than superiority and inferiority. He described the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews.

Hitler was crazy and I bet he didn't even know he was partially Jewish. He needed the support of Germany, so he needed to blame a weak part of the population. He chose Jews because they were not Christian, which the majority of Germans were. They did not fit the regualar German "LOOK" and he felt there was room for discrimination. I am not saying the Jews are weak, and it was a bad move on Adolf Hitler's part. Later during the Liberation, they had to evecuate dozens of overcrowded camps and try to kill everyone without klling the soilders they would need later. Hitler had taken it too far and evacuation was a nusiance. He did it because of various diseases inside him, and because he was a wrongly prejudiced man. He was also against those in wheelchairs, African Americans, homosexuals, bisexuals, gypsies, and partially woman  and other minorities in his point of view.

I'm sure you know he started out as a painter in love with a Jewish girl who would not have him. Inspired by his anger he touched the already unstable athmosphere of the day in Germany. Many German people felt the Jewish people, who I might add were mostly economically stable and well off, were stuck up, and that they were taking all of the jobs etc.... After that he joined a group a lot like the KKK and started speaking out from there. Eventually, he convinced enough people to follow him. In the meantime, this group (sorry I forgot the name) began storm trooper like activities which scared a lot of people (Jewish people). They began a campaigne of scare tactics, first to get german boys and men to join, then to terriose the jewish people. Many German soilders started off not having to much hostility towards the Jew's, then after tortureous activities, many became scared to speek up, because eventually the non-racist germans were in the minority. However, some remained loyal to their hearts and some sheltered the jewish families, mostly the children, but if caught would be put to death. \n\nHis rise to power became a reality because he spoke equilantly, and was full of bull.

Victors in wars always get to write the history books.  \n\nWhy did we ally ouselves to a know butcher in Joe Stalin? Nations face similar dilemmas. The Roosevelt administration formed a strategic alliance with Joe Stalin, a known butcher of millions of his own people, to fight Adolf Hitler, a man they considered to be a greater threat. That difficult decision determined the survival of the free world.\n\nSome people call us liberators, others conquerors, martyrs, fanatics, heroes, or just plain nut cases....its' all relative.  Write the history and call them what you like.

Jim, I understand just what you mean. I post scripture after scripture here proving what a barbaric piece of crap their invisible friend is, and they just don't get it. \n\nIncidentally, you probably already know this, but Hitler was a Roman Catholic. Every year on his birthday, Hitler received a note from the Arch Bishop of Germany by order of the Vatican. \n\nThe beliefs of the SS were preached alongside the Bible at worship services. Hitler also incorporated many church laws as secular law. He abolished abortion in Germany, and enacted many corporal punishments based on church law.\n\nHitler was never condemned by the Vatican. In fact, the church supported his killing of innocent men, women, and children of Jewish descent, because the Vatican (at that time) believed the Jews to be responsible for the death of Jesus. They also supported his killing of homosexuals.\n\nThe sad, simple truth is that Hitler was a monster, who was created and groomed by the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, the Christian revisionists cannot face the facts in the matter and lay the blame where it truely lies. On the preaching of Jesus Christ and Jehovah as the path to salvation.\n\nIt is far easier to deny the truth than accept it, which seems to be the general theme of Christianity. \n\n-SD-

even though Hitler was not German he wanted to create a perfect race. He wanted to kill all homosexuals, gypsies and jews. His program was to make Germany a powerhouse country and to slowly make his way through Europe and take over. A lot of people actually believe that Hitler was not an evil person, a lot of people think he was a lunatic. I have even heard that the holocaust was over played, and I have heard that Hitler's primary goal was to get rid of all the "trash" and build the perfect world.

Launching operation barbarosa.... big oops.\n\nD-day... signaled the beginning of the end.\n\nThe failed attemp on Hitler's life... it made him even MORE paranoid and distrustful of his generals.

Hitler used blitzkrieg, or lightening war.  He invaded so quickly and secretly that nobody had the time to resist.  He just rushed in and took Poland.  He tried following with attacking other countries, but some were not as easy.\n\nwww.wikipedia.org is a good place to look it up, but the site is down right now--technical difficulties (probably hacked).\n\nHere is a timeline that may help.  Start looking at 1939 and go up.\n\nhttp://history.acusd.edu/gen/WW2Timeline/start.html

Adolf certainly was a complex individual with many demons antagonizing a small brain.  He probably should have stuck to his earlier career, that of a house painter. The German army, during WWI didn't think much of him either, he made it to lowly corporal when, during war time, rank is relatively easy to make.  All you need do is stay alive and have half a brain.  We all know that he stayed alive.\n \nAdolf seemed to have relationship problems with women, it is my guess that he was a closet homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with it)but knew that his ambitions in politics would grind to a screeching halt if anyone knew.\n\nHis hatred for Jews is a mystery, except that he disliked their business practices and monopoly of many of the professions.  Speculation has it that he too had Jewish blood (bite your tongue).\n\nHis war time strategy was horrendously bad, especially his collaberration with astrology.  This was Germany's downfall militarily.  This man would overrule his generals and admirals on strategic matters that would end in failure.  Those failures were demoralizing and costly to the Third Reich and eventually brought Germany to defeat in WWII.  The best idea Hitler ever had was the Volkswagon.  That was even better than the 'chicken in every pot'.  I believe this was coined by FDR, during the depression.\n\nHitlers biggest strength was his fiery oratories.  He had the ability to encite the German people in a time when they needed a way out.  Even they couldn't read between the lines on where this guy was taking them, and by the time they realized it, it was probably too late.  He knew that anti-semnitism ran high amongst the Germans, and he played on that for all it was worth.  This should be a warning to all, in a democracy such as ours.  All men are created equal!  Don't ever forget that, and do not let it get in your way when deciding equality, politics, professions, religion or any other debate that you may run in to, in your lifetime.

The primary reason for the defeat of Germany in WW2 was due to the fact that Hitler kept interfering with the decisions of his field commanders who war far more qualified to make military decisions. Hitler had little or no knowledge of military strategy as he was only a corporal in the first world war. Furthermore, he acted primarily on instinct and emotion rather than sound advice. Lastly, the German industry was not properly mobilized to attain maximum production until 1944 and by then it was too late. Italian failures in he African campaign and widespread guerrilla activity in the Balkans did not help either...nearly 6 million German troops were tied up in these theaters. Numerous tactical mistakes were also commited such as changing the primary objective in the East from Moscow to Stalingrad when only 30 kilometers away from the original intended objective. The numerical superiority and the will/resolve of the allied powers ultimately led to the undoing and demise of the Reich and Hitler.

Our country adopted the military thinking process of force and absolute destruction of our enemies - it worked for production and countering the threat from the enemy but the men who assembled it - couldnt have imagend how it would become self perpetuating and increasingly trading effieciency for freedoms - and ultimately would shape our thinking proces to the point where human life is considered as less thasn important than our "country's needs"  unthrottled government in union with unmathced force is creating is creating a system Hitler would envy as it has men actually thinking its the right thing to do both morally and loyally.  Hitler had to force compliance - with obvious terror - our spreading control is much more subtle. The answer is for all of us to do what is right morally and stand up vehemently when eeven one right is taken for granted.  As now we turn our backs and watch it become so engrained in everday life that it becomes accepted as normal behavior

Hitler first hated the Jews because he was, of course, mentally ill.  He blamed them for the defeat of WW 1, and a host of other societal ills.  Then, once he had detained the Jews in prison camps, he hated them even more because they refused to be defeated...even by death.  The following explanation says it all:\n\nIt was written by a French author, Jon DeBileda, during the latter part of the 19th Century.\n\n\n"In essence the Jewish people chuckle at all forms of anti-Semitism. Think all you want and you will not be able to find one form of brutality or strategy that has not been used in warfare against the Jewish people. I cannot be defeated, says Judaism. All that you attempt to do to me today has been attempted 3,200 years prior in Egypt. Then tried the Babylonians and Persians... Afterwards tried the Romans and then others and others....\n\nThere is no question that the Jews will outlive us all. This is an eternal people...."
