no putin is not hitler lolNo, Germany suffered from hyperinflation due to bad policy. Hitler rose to power convincing the Germans he could restore their economy. He became so popular that most Germans were swayed by his arguments of superiority and right to invade and dominate others. They paid dearly for it just as Russia is paying for supporting Putin who appealed to their nationalism and dreams of former domination of their neighbors.
in addition to there being no diplomacy post ww1 which led to nazi germany, germany was also a failed democracy; its govt unable to pass reforms....kinda like american govt these days
germany had frequent and increasing bloodshed in the streets between nazis and communists. hitler promised to restore law and order. so thats another reason. liberals will make alliances with retrograde elements of society like nazis in these situations.
