re: The Appropriate Adult

Would Germany have invaded Poland, and Britain entered into a World War, and my twenty two year old grandfather been killed in Normandy, if Adolf Hitler been accepted into art school in Austria, instead of repeatedly turned down?

Who knows?

Post Treaty of Versailles Germany was certainly in a devasted state. Ripe for social revolution, be it led by the left or the right, and was ready to be presented with a scapegoat to blame for their woes.

Was there no other person who could overthrow the established government in a coup? Was the socially retarded failed Austrian artist the only person who could make this happen? Was he born for this role?

Who knows?
