I've fixed my christmas error...
I wasn't saying the treaty created Hitler, I'm saying it created a niche for extreme nationalism, which was exploited.

And '29 wasn't the first currency trouble that germany had. What about hyperinflation? From 1921-1924 when the Dawes plan came into action, the country was in turmoil. Granted, that system failed 5 years later in '29, but the trouble started before then.

Hitler was scum, you are correct in that term. He will go down in history as a bitter twisted little man who was one of the biggest hypocrites mankind has ever seen. My point was, take away the war and the racism, look at him as a politician and a leader only, it's a very different picture than many people know.

And my point about England being the laughing stock of the world was probably going too far, you are correct. I just can't stand to see our country going to the dogs any more.

Damn. You've actually got me there. That was a complete miswording from me.
