Hitler might have been little, and he was Austrian, but he wasn’t stupid. Mad definitely, but stupid, never. He knew just the buttons to press, just the things to say to stoke the fires of German national pride so decimated by Versailles. He needed someone to blame for the loss of the Great War, the destruction of German industry, the annihilation of their armed forces, the savage reparations that were keeping the proud nation on its knees economically as well as culturally, and the Jews were as good a target as any.
