I think its absurd to say that an entire nation was coerced. That's historical revisionism.
The country was convinced. There may have been factors such as economical situations, treatment by the victors of WWI, etc., but the fact remains: the majority of Germany was convinced to join the Nazi cause, not forced. |

My favorite is how in Canada, Doritos say "Chips Tortilla Chips". So that both the english "Tortilla Chips", and the french "Chips Tortilla" are represented. And nobody is confused. Of course, it does make the chip bag look like it was designed by a small child.

Coldplay "The SOngs They Didn't Write"
I have enjoyed the discussion of Coldplay vs. Satriani. Has anyone on here mentioned this issue with the same song, "Viva La Vida" ripping off this song by a band called Creaky Boards:
YouTube - creaky boards + coldplay + itunes fiasco Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?! |

Nazi's were forced to be that way? They had no choice? My grandmother was born in Germany and moved to Holland to marry my grandfather. When the war started, the Nazi's tried to get everyone to "sign on the line" and become loyal nazi's themselves. My grandmother did NOT, she made that choice .. though whether it was a matter of descency or an act of being stubborn, who knows at this point??? Life became tough as a result, but she had a choice and made the right one. |

Oh, btw, your pope was a member of the Nazi Youth. Signing up was considered a "patriotic" duty. |

As for the Nazi's - people blindly following authority figures - is sadly nothing new, we do it all the time. |
