I don’t think I am misinformed, but if you have an argument I’d love to hear it.

You should read Wages of Destruction & Hitler’s revolution if this is a topic that interests you. The NSDAP got the vast majority of their funds from small donations from working & middle class people. They didn’t receive any large doners until 1932 when they were on the verge of winning power. Capitalists thought they could control Hitler this way but were wrong as it turned out the next year.

The amount of money that went to Berlin from New York was negligible, in fact the two countries all but halted trade with each other in the 30’s, it was a fraction of what it was in the Weimar era.

Even mainstream historians that despise Hitler all admit that these myths that the ‘Nazis were controlled by big business’ & ‘Fascism is capitalism in decay…’ couldn’t be further from the truth.
