Entry: The German Disease Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_german_disease#2340 Post contents: Mr. Ball, it appears, buys into the devil theory of history. Mr. Hitler is the devil ex machina who is called in to obscure all the competing interests that brought about WWII by expanding what could have been a minor dispute resolving border difficulties arising out of the settlement after the first world war. It amuses me that I am accused of being a closet Marxist when his line is straight out of the 1930s Comintern handbook on how to create a Popular Front. Skip the economic, nationalist and ideological issues, Old Man Satan is in Berlin and a bogeyman is under the bed. Sent at: 2008 05 16
