By then Hitler no longer needed either Hugenberg’s corporate contacts or his Reichstag delegates. The bankers and industrialists who had once shunned the crass, divisive, right-wing extremist had gradually come to embrace him as a bulwark against the pro-union Social Democrats and the virulently anti-capitalist Communists.
Six months earlier, three weeks before Hitler’s appointment as chancellor, the banker Kurt Baron von Schröder had met with Hitler at Schröder’s villa in a fashionable quarter of Cologne. The arrangements were cloak-and-dagger: Hitler made an unscheduled, early-morning exit from a train in Bonn, entered a hotel, ate a quick breakfast, then departed in a waiting car with curtained rear windows to be driven to the Schröder villa while a decoy vehicle drove in the opposite direction.
Hitler walked out of the meeting with a 30 million reichsmark credit line that saved his political movement from bankruptcy. Once Hitler was in power, there was no longer need for secrecy or subterfuge.
Oh I see then, thanks for the explanation. I’m not great at understanding the tone of online comments so now I understand better what you meant! Indeed there would be countless other examples throughout history of similar events :)
I mean your likely fine. Online is incredibly hard because its text and you don’t know the person. When talking its so often a friend or at least someone from your area so the way of talking might be more similar. I think of the southern bless your heart thing. Im pretty sure that was a sincere thing a few decades ago but not its considered some sort of backhanded compliment. folks are wierd.
