Is it true that Hilter had brown eyes? Thus not an Arien.

Hitler may have had a Jewish grandparent, thus a POSSIBLE but far from COMPLETE explanation of his Jew-hatred. Germany's ancient history of Jew hatred far antedates Hitler! Thus, a convenient outlet for his particular psychosis. He is said to have fought bravely in WW I and was wounded Maybe that helped?

That whole Aryan fairy-tale was just another aspect of the massive Nazi propaganda campaign. Which fell on fertile ground in a devastated country. Germany was in ruins due to the stupid post-WW I revenge campaign. The Allies, *influenced by doddering French generals intent on payback for previous defeats* extracted ultra-punitive reparations from a starving populace.

Had the Allies had an Eisenhower or a George Marshall in 1918. they would have had the good sense -- as did the post-WW II Allies -- to suck it up, help rebuild the country (create markets for their exports!!!!) and wind up with "friends" instead of smouldering enemies bent on THEIR revenge.

None of the above exculpates the Germans, who were expansionist way back in history - Lebensraum uber alles! -- They thought of themselves as the most cultured people in Europe. Yeah. Rigid, doctrinaire, and most important - OBEDIENT to the "rules". Whatever those might be. Does that give you a clue?

They were also very efficient, from building motor cars to organizing genocide.

"The Invisible Wall" by W. Michael Blumenthal, is a scholarly account of how far back in history German Jew-hatred can be traced.
