People's Hall, huh? Ha. It was never about the people with him; the people were the ones he tricked, the ones he needed to get onside to carry out his plans. So ironic all that bilge about 'volk', when it was the people who suffered for his ambition and their complicity.

It's also interesting to me that only a quarter of Berlin voted for Hitler in 32/33. I speculate about that.
