One of the interesting things about Hitler is how open he was about his prejudices, his plans to take power and his goals once in power. However, despite openly writing about the superiority of the Aryan race, the inability of the masses to think for themselves, the need for Germany to annex its neighbors and the dehumanization of Jews people continued to misjudge and underestimate Hitler.
SO the question becomes if Hitler was open about his intentions, aggressive in his language and rascist in his beliefs why did people follow him?
