Oh and since we are sorta on the topic. There is a fantastic book about the sinking of the USS. Indianapolis ( the boat that delivered the Atom Bomb to the Pacific for the Enola Gay) titled "In Harms Way". I highly recommed that book to anyone who is intrigued by Robert Shaws famous part in Jaws where he brings that subject up.
That is a tragic story in itself.

and freeman, you basically have it right, but theres a few problems in what you said.
The treaty of versailles said that germany had to pay for the costs of the war, they started off paying it fine, then other countrys demanded that it be paid back faster. and at one point there was over 4 trillion dollars being printed daily. which then left the economy shitty so they all had to suffer through starvation to wait for it to last.
and before he started making speeches in beer halls, he joined a right wing political group. And while there he killed off all of his political opposers. and after trying to take over the gov. like mussolini he was put into jail. and at the time of him writing Mein Kempf it was really a course of action that he was going to take once he was free.
The kaiser actually hated Hitler, but whoever's rank is one haigher than chancellor got the kaiser to approve of it. The person who was going to be appointed instead of hitler took a job away from his son earlier, and the guy wanted revenge so he convinced the kaiser that hitler should be allowed in since he lost the ellection earlier he thought he could keep him under control since his morale would have been crushed.
And when the kaiser died he didnt give himself the title, it was given to him because he was the second highest ranked, much like president and vice president now.
But before he became the fuhrer he got parliment to pass a law saying that whoever is leader can make their own rules without opposition. which was accomplished by his SS basically threating everyone and beating many people.
The part that was lucky for him was when the prliment building was burned down, which allowed him to have his SS kill off all of his opposers. And after that happened he started being incredibaly against the jews publicly.
other than that your right tho.

and defprun, that game is actually illegal in germany. And Germany still denys that the holocast ever happened. One of the concentration camps is in the middle of a residential area and most of the people who were questioned about it who lived there thought it was just a cemetary.

I waited in line for approx. an hour with my Close-Up (takes kids who pay lots to go to D.C. for an entire week, went with my senior class, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life) group and we had reservations.
It's worth it though.
