They did. I don't doubt that. As for Hitler, and National Socialism, if he had died prior to the war, he would have been regarded as one of the greatest German leaders in history. His anti-Semitism would have been a lull in retrospect to the cause of a sense of pride in middle class Germany, accompanied with one of, if not the greatest restorations in a countries economy. He effectively kicked out the utter torment of foreign speculation, and based the mark on a utilitarian principle. The mainstream today completely ignores everything Hitler might have done or disregards him as simply insane. This alone is worrisome, considering there were legitimate and real reasons for why Hitler came to power and what he wanted Germany and the economy to entail. There are still some great objective books on the Reich, Hitler, and the German economy but have been unfortunately censored by Amazon, Barnes and Noble and all the big American publishers. One does not have to worship or enthrone another Hitler to observe, that much of what we read about him today and Germany are lies and half-truths. If anything, the National socialist economy alone, with its utilitarian principles, should be extensively looked at.
