Due to nature of the film under discussion, I think there is definitely room for some political arguments, provided we stay with the subject and period and don't drag Bush into it.

I do not think our Depression was in any way responsible for Hitler's raise to power. There were dozens of specifically local German issues and reasons for that. The WWI results as well as the selfish games the European powers each played, were to greatest extend responsible for Hitler gaining strength and momentum.

There was also no chance of a fascist leader appearing in the US, all its Depression suffering notwithstanding.

And you then would argue, I surmise, that the collapse of the American stock market had little impact on the German economy that had been in good health before it?
Both conditions, completely unrelated?
Go ahead.
You and semuta put your brains together.

The inability to make an intelligent peace treaty with Germany at the end of W.W one.
The US president back then ( Wilson ) seems t have make serious Mistakes, if I remember well.
- And exactly what was damaging in that poor treaty? - tinear 15:09:40 02/12/11 (3)
  If you guess, "war reparations!," you win a prize.
  If you say Germany's economy overcame those until the Great Depression, which it did, you get a bottle of DRC.
