Did you read my post the other day relaying the detailed description of Nazi and Soviet economics given by my friend? His conclusion, based on much actual study, is that Nazi Germany basically a capitalist society, and the original socialist instincts were squelched almost immediately after Hitler came to power. Before 1933, the Socialist wing of the party was lead by three brothers. Do you want to know what happened to them by 1934? Gregor was shot for, quote, "the cardinal sins of democracy and liberalism", Otto fled to Canada, and I don't know what happened to the third. Socialism was never very popular in the South where Hitler had his power- base. ===================================================================== Thomas Wier "...koruphàs hetéras hetére:isi prosápto:n / Dept. of Linguistics mú:tho:n mè: teléein atrapòn mían..."
