There was more to it than carisma. The ailing President, who was well past being mentally competent, signed away the country.
It would be drawing a very long bow to compare the carisma of Clinton and Schicklgruber. Of course conspriracy theorists will say that Dubya got drunk while AWOL and travelled backward in time using the time machine left behind by alien visitors and illegitimately fathers Adolf's father. That cancels out some of the in-breeding in Adolf's family tree (via Klara Pšlzl) and results in him surviving past early childhood unlike most of his siblings.
It's pure coincidence that both Dubya and Adolf were total failures until the age of 30. Adolf wishing to conceal his past is probably not down to Dubya being his grandfather, but more likely to be the fact that he was also a total loser.

Historically speaking, a troop of angry boy scouts could have beaten the Wehr"macht" out of the Rhineland; well before appeasement was necessary. Doing so would have rapidly deflated the rŽgime's power base and probably led to its dissolution.
That didn't happen, so we can only be thankful that, after 50 million dead, that stability returned to Europe. In some ways, Europe has benefitted from the war years; but that benefit can only continue to be reaped if one remembers the sacrifices and why they were made.
It's quite clear that they didn't realize the full reality of the West until it was thrust upon them. Some businesses continued to be privately owned. They were...
There is no need to slant the history one way or another. The only thing we learn from history is that we tend to repeat it. Humans are still the same basic animal.
The parallels are evident. Let's hope that sanity prevails and that the dutiful citizens do what serves their country; and not their leader and fellow gangsters. -- "Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia ASCII ribbon campaign CynicismCyn"i*cism X against HTML mail A visual defect caused by the and postings intrusion of reality
