Here's a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation's Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

Good things about Hitler:

  1. He killed Hitler.

He DID NOT MAKE THE AUTOBAHN!

Holy shit, The Nazis did NOT have anything to do with its original conception and building. They even hated it and didn't care much for actually doing much of it. There are more links from articles posted online as early as 1995, but I cannot find them right now.

Correct, the Weimar Republic conceived the Autobahn plan, but work was extremely limited. The Little Fucking Austrian Corporal used it to alleviate the unemployment problem and the Wehrmacht preferred the railway network to move troops and supplies to save fuel.

I also remember an article that pointed out that they considered automotive travel to be Jewish (I guess that meant Woke back then) and preferred traditional modes of transport...

Drastically ahead of its time. As in, only one percent of citizens had a car back then. So apart from being war preparations, the Autobahn wasn't a sensible project at this point in time.

  1. Killed the guy who was trying to kill Hitler's assassin right while he was killing him.

Also killed Hitlers dog. I mean sure, literally a Nazi dog, but still, I want to believe the dog was innocent.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
