Like in mediaeval times, it had to be a minority who would be guilty to this whole mess about bad economy and stuff. The jews.
Obviously I was merely pointing out something a contemporary and survivor of the time period mentioned. I am not a historian. I am a businessman.

Even more obviously, the benefit to the German people would have been after the immense depression after being saddled with the War Debt of WWI and before the bombing, destruction and division of WWII. Before the War, they turned things around for Germany. Germany simply restarted their expansionistic goals and beliefs they'd held since the 1700's.

It was Hitler who blamed everything on the Jews. And it was Hitler's lieutenant who then took it a step further and suggested they be slaughtered en masse, they and the Gypsies. Hitler did nothing to stop it, though. Like Carl Marx once said, "I'm so very glad I'm not a Marxist." (Meaning, one doesn't personally believe, condone, nor support everything ever attributed to one. Nor did one say or imply things attributed to one.)
