    Hitler was a natural product of Europe/Germany , rising to power on the wings of yet another defunct bureaucracy masquerading a democracy and a failed monetary policy.
    The very culture of looking for someone to tell them what to do.... a leader ...a Fuehrer.
    As far as Genocides go, it was Germany’s 3rd genocide within a few years.
    If the first two had been acknowledged at the time, perhaps that third ( best known) would not have happened since it was implemented by many of the same people in power.
    Particularly since the first two served as the blue print.

    That said, many other European nations where also in the Genocide business.
    In fact there where more concentration camps outside of Germany in Europe than in Germany.
    And rounding up the Jews did not take much cohesion.
    It’s just that the Germans ended up holding the bag for being more efficient and more proudly overt than everybody else plus taking it levels unheard of in human history.
    But ultimately “that’ genocide was committed more out of greed and lust for lebensraum and empire than the yet deeply ingrained racism and propaganda supporting it which served merely as a vehicle to not just take people’s lives, belongings and land but also to recycle their bodies.
    Such as taking the hair and teeth and using the ashes of the bodies to fertilize German soil.
    But again Germany’s doctrine was willingly aided and abetted by many other European cultures who where never held accountable in the aftermath.

    Moreover if Germany hadn't been geographically located where it is, it would have been dissolved as suggest by Russia and seconded by France at the time.
    But Britain and the US chose to implement the Marshal plan and help Germany rebuilt as a nation, but not because they shared a special affection for the German culture but because it was the only way to draw a line and create the iron curtain, protection the Western world from the rise of socialist Russia.
    If Germany had been located in any other place on earth at the time, it would not exist today.
