literal nazis, history
>He [hitler] was deeply insecure about his own lack of knowledge... He hated being laughed at, but enjoyed it when other people were the butt of the joke (he would perform mocking impressions of people he disliked)... Little of this was especially secret or unknown at the time. It's why so many people failed to take Hitler seriously until it was too late, dismissing him as merely a "half-mad rascal" or a "man with a beery vocal organ."
