"IBM was another international company" etc

To be reasonably fair, while not getting overly hysterical in hindsight, many people and companies dealt with the Nazis at first - even members of the British Royal Family were supportive to various degrees. Almost nobody before 1939 really believed that Hitler was THAT insane - "Yes, we all hate the Jews, but, seriously now, NO ONE in their right mind would ever try to KILL THEM ALL!"

Based on what his government did in the first few years in power while building up the military, Hitler COULD have become a positive icon of history, if he hadn't been insane and obsessed with eliminating an ethnic group. If all the resources he wasted on that 'game' had been directed into the military, things might have been different there too, if only he could have let competent trained military men run the war...

He DID build good roads and made trains run on time (sorry, that was Mussolini!), but after the end of the war, even those who thought he had been doing a good job 'overall'%%% could not run far enough away from him, just like MartFartyArseFirst's previous supporters now...

Now Jeb looks like a good guy - us Aussies have never heard anything bad about him, in fact we've heard NOTHING about him at all, so he must be alright...


%%%Apart from THAT, Mrs Lincoln...
