It's a stupid argument, and only the more stupid if you're playing these games. I don't care. You're right about all of it.

Who was talking about the rise of the Nazis? I was talking about why it was that the german people didn't care what the Nazis were doing to the jews. I am well aware of the fact that the nazis weren't the only party vying for power in germany. That wasn't the issue. The issue is whether the majority of germans gave a damn about what the nazis were doing to the jews.
You said "that the German people were unwilling to do anything to stop the Nazis." I pointed out that the left wing was armed and ready to stop Hitler's rise to power, but was waiting for a coup that never came. You may have missed that I was talking about the early 1930s. I also mentioned that the military planned a coup before Munich. The military tried again, and Hitler escaped an attempt on his life in 1944 through impressive luck. So, to the extent that you were saying anything other than that Germans were anti-Semitic, you were wrong. I choose not to argue with you on your larger point.
