AlyHitler simply a populist (based on money laundering - the money stolen from jewish people - to finance social measures)? Götz Aly, german historian and not yet translated, tries to elucidate the still not answered question: why could all this happen (in the middle of Europe, done by a so to speak well-educated people)?
Aly relinks the mass murder to a social system with the advantages of a well fare state, the first to finance the second by the means of all the burocratic efficiency already well known by other research. According to him the governing class was never younger than in the Nazi system, average age between 35 and 40, so they could associate some kind of "post-pubertary search for indentity" the so called "moving movement" to "experienced bureaucrates".
All this to planify massmurder, being able to distribute social advantages to the "pure german population" and to assure their loyalty to the regime. There is no try to diminish ideological indoctrination, but it seemed secondary in the power of loyalty that even the spectacular destruction of Dresden was not able to break.
In fact, Hitler set up a sort of Gefälligkeitsdiktatur (dictatorship of complaisance).
