Here’s a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation’s Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

    I heard Germany had really bad inflation before Hitler. Since we’ve seen so much inflation lately, has anyone considered bringing Hitler back?

      The german book and movie “Er ist wieder da” (He’s back) is exactly about that. Just before his death, Hitler is transported through space and time to 2010s Berlin and quickly takes the country by storm again. The kicker: A lot of the scenes are just with real people interacting with the Hitler actor in full costume and the things they say and do is unbelievable. It really shows there’s a Hitler in every single one of us and if he really returned, it would likely play out exactly like that. I cannot recommend it enough.

        No, it shows there is a Hitler in a lot of people, not in everyone.

          Problem is it’s often the literal Hitlers who think they’re all pure and righteous and got nothing in common with him. They’re the first to tell you that there is nothing to worry about and how the left are overdramatizing everything until fascism is the new normal. It’s important to know that you can’t even trust yourself to not have a Hitler inside you. Others will have to make that judgement for you and they can also be wrong.

          So maybe there isn’t a Hitler in everyone, but he could be in anyone including you and me.

        I agree and will add that the book and the film are distinct in their ways, but both worth trying.
