3. We've seen this all before. Germany was bombed into ruins and many people still held up Hitler as the great hope.

And I served in the army in Germany in the 1970s and remember somehow tripping into a conversation that touched on Hitler with a nice senior German lady that lived thru the war. One of her comments was something like "Yes, that was bad, but he made the trains run on time". I was a bit taken aback but she said it so calmly and matter of factly. And I remember as I was touring England after getting out of the army, and waiting for the 12: 15 train from somewhere to somewhere else, asking a station agent if the train pulling in was the 12:15 and he said no, this was the 11:55 train (late at 12:15) but to the same location and my ticket would work. I guess I looked a little confused and he said, "Hey, this isn't Germany".
