    For anyone curious, GOM means "Grand Old Man." In this context, they're referring to President Hindenburg.

      But the world being today like the 1990s technologically but much wealthier due to having avoided the destruction and death of WW2 sounds to me like a better world.

      @Leibstandarte Archive That was because the government had to step in during war and provide jobs in the war economy. There is no reason why such a ‘war economy’ couldn’t be achieved in peacetime as a means to boost employment.
      But in the case of the US, they benefited enormously from the loans they were owed by European countries and the adoption of the dollar on international markets.
      Britain also got socialism as a result of the war which massively helped the working class, but a war wasn’t necessary to achieve this. British debt and unemployment were both falling in the late 1930s whilst the pound remained strong on the international markets - but the huge intaking of debt in WWII bankrupted the country and lost it its place as a superpower.
      This was in probably the least affected European belligerent of the entire war - the main continent being destroyed.
      The US may have gained from WWII (despite the 400,000 dead), but the rest of the world certainly didn’t. And for the horrors, Hitler stands guilty.

    At his side Von Papen, last chancelor before Hitler, then vice-chancelor of Hitler.Also general Blomberg dismissed on 1939.Hindenburg was elected president against Hitler by a large coalition including the social-democrats, but not the communists who maintained their candidate Tälmann at the second turn.Later Hindenburg approved the nomination of Hitler as a chancelor, and communists and social-democrats were arrested and lost their jobs ! That's the kind of reactionary traitor against democracy he was ! He was much respected as a Fieldmarshall and, with Ludendorff, organiser of the old imperial army,same kind of caracter as Maréchal Pétain !

      No at his side is Wilhelm Groener, then defence minister, Blomberg was dismissed in 1938, especially commznists but also social democrats should be forbidden in every state, like Austria did under Dollfuß, a good man, and there's no dogma that democracy is always good or dictatorship is always bad, although both can be used for good or bad; while Hitler certainly was demonically influenced, the main Motive for his appointment wasn't his antisemitism (I think Hindenburg didn't even know that or to which degree Hitler was since barely anyone read Mein Kampf), but his ability to end the constant skirmishes and quarrels on the streets in the previous years, i.e. restore order. Maréchal Pétain also was a good man except his collaboration with the Nazis and the personality cult, but both he and Hindenburg were conservative men who wanted peace, order and a society without envy/false egalitarianism which causes chaos/a family structure suited for the mother and father's respective special abilities

      Interesting comparing him to Pétain. If You think of it, there are several similar points of view between the old european militar stablishments and the facists and national socialists.
