Reddit reviews Hitler: Ascent, 1889-1939

Fun fact, I'm reading that Hitler biography reviewed in the NYT. I'm not going to say it's eerie how similar Trump and Hitler are, because it's not really quite apt: Hitler actually served in the war and was quite a capable reader, unlike Trump who skipped wartime service and is possibly-but-most-definitely illiterate.

But I will say that the culture in places like Vienna and Munich before and immediately after WWI that led to the rise of Hitler are in their own way startling similar to what we see with the rise of Trump here in the US. We need to renegotiate the Treaty of Versailles, we're getting raked over the coals by idiots exploiting us, we're getting stabbed in the back by malicious foreigners in our midst who have their own interests at heart and are exploiting us, the socialists and capitalists who hate us. We need to go back to the pre-War era of Bismark's Germany, when Germany was great.

That's more terrifying than one specific person to me. There were a lot of would be far-right ethno-nationalist authoritarians trying to make Germany great again, some even got power well before Hitler. If Trump is not successful, that just means we have to live on to fight the next one.

I'm a trained historian, and I purchased this book from Amazon, following which I wrote a thoughtful 5-star review. Some days later not only did Amazon delete my review of the book, they deleted all my reviews.

Bezos is an Alt-Left tyrant lying hypocrite cuck and Amazon web-managers are LBGTQIA+ f*ckin' cucks.

This is a solid newer biography about Hitler. Part 2 is yet to come. It may not be as fundamental as earlier works like the one by Joachim Fest. But its easier accesible since other works and what I really like is that it has a strong focus on the politics that lead up to Hitlers grip to power between January an May 1933.

Also the fundamental biography of Wilhelm II. by John G. Roehl might be worth a read. Unfortunately, about the republic of Weimar I know only books which are not translated.

This is a decent video talking about the rise of Hitler. I think it's pretty impressive by someone who doesn't have a degree, from what I understand, in history and was pretty much done by himself. I think it might be fun to watch and see what he gets right and wrong. These are his sources:

And Mein Kampf.

Yes I do. Ive been reading multiple books on the subject and Trump acts very much like Adolf Hitler.

You should read This. Wonderful book. If you read biography from nearly any author on Trump you will realize just how much the two are the same.
