Grok, who did Hitler blame?

[AProudLefty]

Adolf Hitler primarily blamed the Jewish people for Germany's economic troubles and social unrest following World War I. He articulated these views in his book "Mein Kampf," where he:

• Blamed Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, claiming they had undermined the war effort from within.
• Accused Jews of being behind communism and other revolutionary movements that he saw as threats to Germany.
• Held Jews responsible for the economic problems caused by the Treaty of Versailles, hyperinflation, and the economic depression of the 1920s and early 1930s.

Hitler also extended his blame to:

• Political adversaries like communists and socialists, whom he saw as part of the same international conspiracy.
• The Weimar Republic for its governance, which he considered weak and corrupt.
• Foreign nations, particularly France and Britain, for the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles.

This scapegoating was central to his ideology and was used to rally support, leading to the persecution and genocide of millions during the Holocaust.

More or less correct to the last sentence. Hitler's central ideology as laid out in Mein Kampf was the concept of Volksmeingeschaft. This term comes from the similar term Frontmeingeschaft.

There is no direct translation into English of either word. The best comparable term to them is Band of Brothers. That is, the concept that shared life experiences that create a deep bond between individuals was what Hitler was aiming for for the entirety of Germany. He experienced frontmeingeschaft in the years immediately after WW 1 with other veterans and created the idea that this sort of deep bond could be produced in a Germany free of foreign influence / non-German thinking.

Jews, gypsies, foreign nationals all had to be removed from Germany in Hitler's view. Germans would grow up in his Reich to have a deep bond to their fellow Germans and a loathing for other nations and cultures. To further this, foreign newspapers and other written documents would be banned unless published in German and given state approval for limited distribution. In a very real sense, he looked to establish a Germany much like North Korea is today.
