There has been so much re-formulation of the history of the Nazi party, Hitler's regime, the worldwide class war during the 1930s, and the collaboration of many capitalists throughout the West with the re-born Nazi regime after it obtained financial backing of German industrialists in 1933. Most histories would have you believe that Hitler magically went around hypnotizing people into following him.

The facts are that German capitalists and aristocrats finally decided to back Hitler and the Nazi party due to a combination of factors: ruling class fears of a worker's revolution, to cover up a scandal of major proportions involving the German aristocracy including the president of Germany Paul von Hindenburg, but most especially because of the backing of many German capitalists such as steel magnate Fritz Thyssen, major media owner Alfred Hugenberg, army generals such as Kurt von Schleicher, aristocrats such as Franz von Papen, many foreign capitalists consisting of bankers and industrialists such as W. Averell Harriman and Henry Ford from the US and other countries. Yes, even the father and grandfather of our two presidents--Prescott Bush! This information is well covered in chapter seven of a book entitled Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Antony Sutton.
German radicals had it right in this poster to the left which showed Hitler being backed by millions of dollars and German Reichsmarks.
