This cogent analysis argues that Hitler rose to power primarily through democratic tactics that incited localized support rather than through violent means.

Resource extending schemes obscured the crucial political role played by virtually all German citizens to whom salvaging, scrapping, and recycling were promoted as inherently virtuous and orderly behaviors.
