Ever since Trump first ran for president, a central theme among Democrats and the media has been that Trump is literally Hitler, and his supporters -- namely, Republicans -- are literally Nazis.
This has gone viral in the 2024 campaign featuring the New Republic’s infamous cover showing Trump as Hitler, published only a week before the first assassination attempt against Trump in July.
The historians of the Bundeswehr’s History Office (authors of outstanding scholarship on the Third Reich) thought enough of my scholarship to commission me to author a chapter on Nazi war crimes in a book on 20th-century war crimes.
As a historian who has done considerable writing and research into the history of the Third Reich, I think it’s time that someone who actually knows something about Hitler and Nazis to provide an assessment of these charges.
Leaders of major democratic political parties accepted this, naively thinking that Hitler could be controlled.
In February and March 1933 Adenauer, a major political leader, literally lived in hiding.
On February 4, 1933, Hitler coaxed President von Hindenburg into approving new national elections for March 5.
