German, the fact that they were superior and stronger than other nations appealed to the masses and the apparent coherent way in which Hitler presented these ideas made it more believable than ridiculous.

Firstly it is necessary to look at what Hitler and

Obviously this is alienating the Generals, as the original autocratic and militant regime of the army would be abolished for a new 'peoples' army, which is very socialistic and partly communistic.
