The slaughter of the millions did not occur until WELL AFTER Hitler had assumed power. The original post is correct, the German people let their freedom's and rights be stripped away one after another for spurious reasons (Reichstag fire, communist threat, economic depression, to regain German honor, etc). Once their rights were gone, then the mass murders commenced.

So, Americans are like "good Germans" after all. We are early in the abuse of power, just as the Germans were in the 1930's. Americans are allowing a phony threat be used to erode many of our liberties. And don't forget a solid majority of our fellow citizens supported Busholini's slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis. Sure that's not on Hitler's scale just yet, but it's a start.

If this course is allowed to proceed much further, we are setting the table for a police state with capabilities far beyond those of Nazi Germany.
