Perhaps, you've heard stories like this from your senior relatives or friends.
I doubt they teach much history in schools these days; but, if they do, these are worthwhile lessons to be learned...

Some time ago, Rene Girard posted an article at Examiner.com, calling attention to Austrian history:
"I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote. I’ve never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force. In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates. Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs."
