as well as the error
about Christmas being banned (which is Daily Mail-style rubbish) your theories on why the Third Reich came into power forget something.
Germany was actually a liberal, fun-loving kinda place after the Treaty of Versailles. Check out "Cabaret"; the Weimer Republic seemed quite cool.

It was the Wall Street Crash of 29 that screwed Germany up; yes, because they had borrowed money off the US to pay their reparations enforced by the Treaty.

To say that the Treaty created Hitler is missing a key element in the argument. And to see any benefit in what Hitler "achieved" is frankly shocking.

And England is far from being the laughing-stock of the world. Put down the Daily Mail, try seeing some of the world and you'll see this is far from the case.
