Subject: RE: BS: Growing up in post-holocaust Germany

There were lots of parallels drawn between Hitler and FDR in the early 30's-- in both Germany and the US-- the general tenor being both strong leaders with strong medicine for desperate times. Especially Hitler's dealing with unemployment.

Few dealt with the hideous aspects of Hitler's plans at that point.

The Voelkischer Beobachter (Nazi organ) made parallels between FDR and Hitler explicit.
