LITERALLY HITLER? A HISTORIAN EXAMINES DEMOCRAT ACCUSATIONS AGAINST TRUMP AND THE GOP
Ever since Trump first ran for president, a central theme among Democrats and the media has been that Trump is literally Hitler, and his supporters – namely, Republicans – are literally Nazis.
This has gone viral in the 2024 campaign featuring the New Republic’s infamous cover showing Trump as Hitler, published only a week before the first assassination attempt against Trump in July.
As a historian who has done considerable writing and research into the history of the Third Reich, I think it’s time for someone who actually knows something about Hitler and Nazis to provide an assessment of these charges.
I studied in Germany and for more than three decades I have spent many weeks in the German archives poring over documents of the Third Reich so I could write many books and academic articles on the Wehrmacht.
The historians of the Bundeswehr’s History Office (authors of outstanding scholarship on the Third Reich) thought enough of my scholarship to commission me to author a chapter on Nazi war crimes in a book on 20th-century war crimes.
I will focus on the two months of February 1933 to late March 1933 during which the democratic Weimar system was destroyed and replaced by a one-party Nazi totalitarian state.
In January 1933, the German electorate was hopelessly split.
