An interesting topic.

Lots of people seem to think that if the Fascists were to rise up again they will come in wearing swastikas and jack boots. The reality is that they will come dressed in suits with promises of a better way of life.

One would do well to read Umberto Eco's essay on Eternal PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. or the 14 defining characteristics of PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. by Lawrence Britt.

If you want an excellent fictional account of life in pre and post-war Berlin and the rise of the Nazis, not to mention a damn good detective novel, read a copy of "Berlin Noir".
