Far from correct.

Darkness Over Germany: A Warning From History [ebay link] by E Amy Buller

A series of first hand accounts of life in 1930's Germany telling how The Party slowly infiltrated everyday life. The resounding message is, "by the time we realised we had to act, it was too late".

In newspapers, churches and schools - especially biology and history - The Party came to dominate everything; if The Party teaching wasn't taught then teachers were dismissed; their dilemma was whether to stay and do what they could - by making The Party nonsense a boring lesson and the true lesson exciting or to refuse to teach The Party line and leave knowing that a Party member would take over and indoctrinate the children with lies.

Every newspaper was required to take on a Party member who would check that everything printed was in line with Party accord: if any newspaper owner dared to print anything otherwise, or was brave enough to criticise The Party then they were closed down - or worse.

Slowly, surely, they crept in. But it was already too late.

 

Coupla quotes

"By the way, I saw an English newspaper [criticising us] saying how lacking in courage we must be not to stand up to the Nazis better. [...] Tell them we know we were blind fools not to have fought earlier and before we were in chains..."

 

[of Hitler]

"It is appalling that he knows no languages and that he has no real contact with the saner and more knowledgeable older members of the Foreign Office and that he takes all his advice from such swine as von Ribbentroff and people who have no understanding at all of international affairs."

 

"...there is no doubt that one of the reasons Hitler has got such complete control is that many people were already frightened of communism and Hitler exploited their fear very cleverly. Of course, they never guessed, for who could, that the Nazis would do the very thing they most feared in communism, namely surpress the freedom of the church. the universities and the press and by their people's courts destroy the foundations of justice and law."

 

Many parallels with present day events: highly recommended reading.

So now they are re-writing history in the US, am surprised in the digital age when so many records are so easily accessible:

... or modified pagers or, indeed, if someone misunderstood their orders, an entire Greek army!

Oooh, boo hoo, your hero, rapist, and all time great guy, Trump is getting some stick for accepting a $400 million bribe from Qatar so you post "Don't look at that, look at this guy".

 

No, a bribe is a bribe, and this one is bound to be bugged to death and comes with expectations from Qatar and a payback of more than that.. which the US population of course will suffer for.

Ah the cult of Bernie and his investments/Ponzi advice.

 

The only difference between him and Scientology is one is tax exempt.

 

One atleast came up with a bit of watchable science fiction beforehand.

 

No doubt you'll be wanting us all to listen intently to blue screen of death bill gates next?.
