Was Hitler a Conspiracy Theorist

Yes. If Hitler were alive today he would fit in well with the alt-right/Q-Anon crowd.

Hitler believed that the Jews were behind everything. Jews were behind capitalism, communism, and everything else. Evil Jews betrayed Germany in WW1 and evil Jews were going to destroy the Aryan people.

Hitler expressed this loudly and clearly in multiple speeches and in his writings. His viewpoints here were totally unoriginal as “Judeo-Bolshevism” was widely believed already. Hitler merely appealed to this already engrained viewpoint.

Modern-day Nazis have more or less maintained this sick worldview. The whole “Jews the media/banks and want to degenerate society” did not sprout from the weak and feeble minds of modern Nazis.

This is what caused the Holocaust. Many imagine the Holocaust originated with racism but it didn’t. Racism has been alive and well in the US for centuries and there was never a “black genocide”.

Hitler was able to convince people that Jews were evil- that they were the enemy. The Holocaust was not the slaughter of innocent people, it was Germany defeating a foe.

There is an answer to this very question- written by a fellow with a name beginning in “Dem”. If you could all do me a favor- report his profile (not the answer). We don’t need Nazis here spouting their shit.
