Others have been explaining it but I'll add a footnote: pop culture
depicted Hitler as a loony, and tended (and still tends) to make that the
whole explanation for the horrors of the Third Reich -- thus trivializing
the reasons and roots of the evil that is Nazism. I think this is
encouraged, if not orchestrated, by the interests that I (after Pynchon)
call "Them."
Cheers,
David
