One of most confounding questions of this century has been why did a cultured country such as Germany elect a barbarian like Hitler. One often overlooked fact is that Berlin in the 20s was a cesspool of vice and decadence. (Some would say openness and experimentation.) There was open homosexuality, androgyny was in vogue, it was a pretty freewheelin' place. The culture shock was even more acute so soon after the Victorian period. A lot of Germans were put off by this and I think were willing to overlook his shortcomings if he would just clean up the place. He cleaned it up, alright.
