9. America inspired the Nazis

Mon Oct 2, 2023, 09:08 PM

Oct 2023

They copied the Nuremberg Laws from US racial policies. In those, the Nazis defined how much ancestry it took to be legally called a Jew. Much looser than the Jim Crow "one drop of blood".

Hitler enjoyed a fair bit of popularity in the US before the war.

The US has practiced genocide and slavery for hundreds of years, and we're still trying to Reconstruct.
Don't be surprised by this.
