So the Smithsonian posted this an hour ago. Just because.
The Smithsonian is pulling no punches.
Key quote:
many American press outlets judged that he would either be outplayed by more traditional politicians or that he would have to become more moderate. Sure, he had a following, but his followers were “impressionable voters” duped by “radical doctrines and quack remedies,” claimed The Washington Post. Now that Hitler actually had to operate within a government the “sober” politicians would “submerge” this movement, according to The New York Times and Christian Science Monitor. A “keen sense of dramatic instinct” was not enough. When it came to time to govern, his lack of “gravity” and “profundity of thought” would be exposed.
I’m sensing a theme here….
“When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and he will stand for everything traditionally American.”
