It's almost tempting to throw another element into the fire of historical causation which at face value is reasonably innocent and difficult to move away from. I believe it was called 'Geo Time' (or something similar) and advocated by Marc Bloch as the basis that determines a races, peoples and ultimately nations characteristics. Essentially it runs along the lines that people are products of their physical environments.

I think its valid to recognise, that the first resistance to rise of Nazism did indeed come from Germany. The likes of Clara Zetkin and Eric Honecker amongst 1,000's of others. I seem to think that a fair number of SPD members ended up in the Nazi party in the fullness of time, and the democratic party itself played an equal part in defeating the natural domestic resistance movement to the fledgling right wing groups (later Nazis) in the 'Winter days' of 1919 that ended at the bottom of the Landwehr Canal.

Mind you it ages since last read on all that, and it takes a thread like this to remind how much I've really forgotten.

[QUOTE="Warbler, post: 2087661, member: 65228"] It's almost tempting to throw another element into the fire of historical causation which at face value is reasonably innocent and difficult to move away from.
