Quote:Why exactly Hitler couldn't done otherwise? It's genuine question. Were his deeds written in the stars for example? Were his taking of power in Germany somehow preordained?Because, yes and yes.
Quote:I'm afraid that you're the one talking gibberish. Hitler couldn't done otherwise!? Really?Yes, really.
Though yes Hitler charisma certainly played a role in all this.

Quote:Here it is just misunderstanding. I didn't mean all Germans, but indeed I should have write it clearly. And I certainly don't blame people born after war for whatever was done earlier.
As for looking on the roots of the problem I agree, though I don't really understand your position, i.e. Hitler inability to done otherwise. In this we disagree, but I'm open to discussion.
I am open to it as well, but we might have to take it somewhere else.
Don't take things personally. I'm just glad to have a discussion. I'll just have it with you, see where it takes us, and if any particular point of yours makes more sense I'll take it into consideration and I'll be the wiser for it.
