Men in the factories could refuse to pledge allegiance and then they would lose their jobs and their families would starve, or they could be “good Germans” and keep their jobs, at the cost of their integrity. When weighed integrity against your family your integrity has little meaning. Sure there was a possibility that others would stand with you but who is willing to risk their life thinking that maybe someone else will risk theirs along with you.

The women also had little choice, after all they were women. They had few decisions and there is nothing that a woman considers more when she makes a decision than her children. No woman would take a risk of her child’s life for freedom for someone else, that would be foolish.

If there was any group with less choices then women it was children, they could not join the little Hitler fan club, but that was more a decision by their parents than their own. Children could speak out all they wanted, they were still just children.

With Germany set up the way it was it was inevitable for someone like Hitler, with a party like the Nazis to come along and make a disturbance, there was no way for the people to stop it. Everyone had something to lose, and no one was willing to take the first step in opposition of Hitler. If one person had stepped forward maybe their family would have been killed, but two more men would step forward in their place until all of German rose up, but that’s the problem with us, no on is ever willing to go first.

I imagine this was a very hard place for some people to be, but they were there holocaust timeline. It’s easy to criticize these men for not stepping forward but I doubt any man would sacrifice his family for anything.

Sometimes people realize thing, but often too late to change anything, or so they think. Sometimes people need to put their foot down and say stop if they get rolled over, then they get rolled over. It is a chance people need to take to do what’s right.

Another front the Nazi’s would have to be criticized on is their most powerful tool, Hitler. He’s not a German. By his own teachings he’s not as good as us, he’s of the weaker people. How can he be trusted? He doesn’t have our best interests in mind. How could they deny this? Really no one could. In a struggle to keep Hitler from power it would turn into a vicious mudslinging campaign, and in his mental state I have no doubts he would retaliate showing the people what he’s really about. What would he do, send in the storm troopers? That would remind people of the war and re-emphasize my first point of how Hitler is nothing but a warlord.

Not everyone has fallen for the propaganda of the Nazi’s. Not everyone is that gullible. I’d try to make sure that people saw the lies behind what Hitler was saying. I’d simply tell the truth. Hitler can do nothing about the economy; it is the Americans’ problem. We need to simply all work hard for Germany, making it rich. Noting else will improve our economic situation. We must pay for our country with our own sweat. Will Hitler do go take our spot in the fields or in the factories? No! We must do it ourselves.

All it would take is to expose one lie and people might finally see Hitler for the liar he truly is. Just one gust of wind could topple his entire tower of cards.

Ahh yes. We here are reminded yet again by the people that do resist the Nazi movement that not everyone is foolish enough to be fooled by the tyrants of the world. Thank God for that.
