Sadly, the simple remedy each proposed/proposes will accomplish nothing to satisfy those aspirations. Critical crisis times always threaten to bring out the worst in a people and a country.

It represents just how out of touch the German intellectuals were and how many of them were seduced by the propaganda about Hitler's determination to "Make Germany great again."
