"You might have mentioned that the Kaiser's prime minister, Bismarck, instituted Germany's social welfare system which he called Staatssozialismus. "

Right. And this makes your being dubious about the degree of acceptance of socialism in the Weimar Republic stronger because... what exactly?

"What you wrote was pretty simplistic and misleading. "

I was writing from memory. In what way was it misleading?

"BTW the Nazis did not repeal any of these welfare state policies."

So? The ideology was tied up in different issues.

"Actually Hitler claimed the Jews had stabbed Germany in the back. He didn't target the aristocracy per se and even appealed to much of it:"

Hitler wasn't the originator of the idea. Others were. He just used it. Hitler had a fine appreciation of power structures. Of course he would attempt to use it.

Thanks, though. You have strengthened my claim that calling their party a socialist worker's party was a smart political move.
