Hi E Ted,
You've got Maxim speaking German and holding his arm out in a salute again....Oh my.
A question for you - how did the police state get itself out of the depression. I believe it was Hitler's preparation for war - increasing the armies, building armaments and planes, etc. President Roosevelt had the US out of the depression in 37 due to New Deal actions - with some recession lasting till the war - but they were very different situations.
BTW, Hoover was president til 1933. He did not believe in any government intervention or direct aid to people - only voluntary cooperation between business and government. Nothing happened to reduce the misery while he was in office.
