The Official Nazi discussion thread!

The use of the word "handed" implies that you felt Hindenburg gave Hitler power either willingly or unwillingly but without a struggle.

What other term should I have used? "Begrudgingly 'handed' him"? Long story short, he "handed" him power.

"Begrudgingly 'handed' him"?

Yes, Hindenburg did not hand him power, Hitler gained it through his own bullying tactics and election campains.

Never the less, Hitler was handed power.

Now what I have always enjoyed is how historians seem to "much up" the Nazi heirarchy, sadly after the "fuhrerprincep" no one can ever agree who was the most powerful Nazi leader, after Hitler.

I have always believed it went

Hitler
>>>>>>Hess before fleeing to Scotland
>>>>>>Goering beore his disatorus handling of the Luftwaffe
Himmler
Goebells
Bormann

However many disagree on who was the most powerful after Hitler, some argue Goebells others Bormann.

Disguss.

Himmler and Geobbles were higher than that.
