The American Ku Klux Klan of the first two-thirds of the twentieth century and the German Nazi Party of the 1930s and 1940s were both fascist political movements of their respective time and place. Fascism is the appeal to, and public justification of, the most base untutored human beliefs and prejudices. The KKK appealed to primarily Caucasian Americans by providing various justifications for their would-be adherent's hatred of minority (so-called) racial groups. The Nazi Party appealed to primarily Protestant Germans by providing various justifications for their adherent's hatred of people of minority religious persuasions. The American KKK movement did not rise to national political dominance although its members were responsible for thousands of individual murders and atrocities. The German Nazi movement did rise to national dominance and was responsible for millions of murders and atrocities in industrial and government sponsored slave and death camps.
AnswerThe biggest difference between the Nazis and the KKK was that the Nazis were the government, and the KKK was not. Hence, the Klan could advocate the eradication of non-Protestants, but really couldn't accomplish it. The Nazis were able to build death camps and kill pretty much anyone they wanted, until the Allied Nations were able to stop them. AnswerFascism is born from a distinct European cultural element reared in Catholicism and cultures of such. That element does not have a character of liberty. The authoritarianism of the Old World has no place in America and the second period Ku Klux Klan was aware of the eurocentric threat. When David Duke invited Papists to his klan it symbolized the future... Degenerates seeking an all inclusive white nationalism, complete with its criminal minded. Liberty is a White American Protestant cultural value. A proper klan should exclude foreign influence. AnswerFirst, one must differentiate between the KKK and often associated movements of White Supremacy and Neo-Nazi-ism. At the base political level, the KKK claims (and seems to) actually espouse a democratic form of government as its ideal; generally speaking, they wish for a form of government which most closely models that of the legal structure of the US government around 1900. However, their additional requirements are exclusion from government (and, in practice, one of segregation, apartheid, or expulsion) of a variety of various racial, ethnic, and religious groups. Essentially, the KKK envision a society consisting of only White Protestant Christian (or very similar Christian faith) members of society. To a large degree, they see themselves as Revolutionaries (seeing to overthrow the existing corrupt government) or Originals (seeking to reclaim their country from interlopers). As such, they have no problems resorting to violence or terrorism to accomplish their goal. They refuse to work within the existing system of laws, and instead seek to overthrow the current government.Politically speaking, Nazi-ism is a form of authoritarian socialism; it has many of the characteristics of fascism, but it exhibits a significant deviation, one which makes it an ill-fit for the fascist label. Originally, (as conceived by Adolf Hitler in the late 1920s), Nazi-ism was primarily a nationalistic philosophy, concerned with maintaining and promoting the welfare of the "true" German peoples. It was much less concerned with the form of government required to advance that goal; in historical fact, Nazi-ism worked within the original republican form of government for a time (as any other political party in a republic), and switched over to a authoritarian dictatorship (or, more properly, a demagogue-lead cult-of-personality) only later. Nazi-ism's base philosophy can be summed up as: "Promoting the superiority and prosperity of the True German Race". Once the Nazi dictatorship had replaced the former republican government, the policies it enforced were a combination fascist/socialist: many programs were collectivism incarnate, intended to provide significant benefits to the True German populace, while others were state-building exercises in centralization of raw power.
Nazi-ism's outstanding characteristic of anti-Semitism is only the most outrageous of its pro-True German philosophy: in practice, all non-True Germans were systematically excluded or exploited. Unlike the KKK, which seeks to separate itself from its "undesirables", Nazi-ism had no such general desire, and was much more utilitarian in this regard: Nazi-ism sought to destroy those it considered a threat (Jews, Homosexuals, Roma), but was perfectly happy to exploit (read: enslave) the other populations of "lesser" races, all for the benefit of promoting the advancement of the True German. Nazi-ism and the KK do share the characteristic of disregard for the existing order, and both see the uses of violence and terrorism as valid means to attain their goals.
Where were the Germans building their atomic bombs?
The Germans (luckily) never actually had a serious atomic bomb project. They were working on one in 1939 and 1940 but made an arithmetic error that suggested that >1000kg of enriched uranium would be needed per bomb (instead of the correct value of <100kg - Little Boy actually use only 64kg). It was deemed that no plane that could be built during the war could carry such an enormous bomb (and the cost of enriching that much uranium beyond the ability of any country at the time - which it probably was), so the project was scaled back (before the US Manhattan Project even began) to only reactor development research with the hope of making powerplants after they won the war.
They never even knew of plutonium, which in the Fatman only needed 6.2kg per bomb!
What event was Mussolini arrested after?
In October Mussolini ordered an attack on Greece, which resulted in the lost of 1/3 of Albania until Hitler assisted in the attack on Greece. In June of 1941 Mussolini then declared war on the Soviet Union as well as a declaration of war on the United States in December. The Italians were defeated time and time again and this had most people turning against Mussolini. On July 25, 1943 King Vittorio Emanuele III summoned Mussoloni to his palace and notified him that he would no longer have any power. Mussolini was then arrested and kept in isolation in Central Italy.
True or false the axis powers included Germany Italy and japan?
False, they were the Axis.
True. The term "ally" or "allies" (without cap's) refers to a group of countries who join together to support and defend each other. Therefore, they were allies. The name of this alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan was called the Axis, which, I think, was first used by Benito Mussolini.What is the value of a 1960 1 Deutsche Mark coin?

What were Adolf Hitler's hopes for the Olympics of 1936?
I believe he thought that the Olympics would demonstrate the truth of his assertion that the "Aryan" race was superior to all others. Jesse Owens, the great African American track athlete, blew that hope to bits with his stunning win of a gold medal.
How did Hitler enforce anti-Semitism as chancellor of Germany?
by blaming Jews for economic woes and appealing to injured German pride

How did the German government begin to discriminate against Jewish people?
The first formal act of discrimination by the Nazis was a ban on the employment of most Jews in the public sector (April 1933). This included the dismissal of Jews already in the public sector, and this included schools and universities.
However, in March 1933 the police had already ceased to protect Jews from being beaten up by stormtroopers.

Genesis 9:25-27
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

What was used as makeup in World War 2?
Women had powder compacts that contained powder that matched their skin color. The lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, blush, foundation, and eye shadows were basically the same as we have today. The women were able to buy some cosmetics and they made it last a long time during WW2. Some would only put it on for Sunday Church Services or if they worked in a professional job. The gals who worked at the war manufacturing places would avoid it because it was more of a hassle at the plant than it was a benefit.
The make up on the Hollywood movies was much heavier than what the average woman wore so their faces would show up well on the movie screen.
The GIs used camouflage makeup provided by the military. That "face paint" came from the famous cosmetic industries of the time. Some of the GIs even claimed they would use their shoe polish but paid a price for doing it!

Why did Adolf Hitler do the type of salute that he did?
Hitler modelled his 'Third Riech' on the Roman Empire. This can easily be seen in the classical building project which he embarked on. The open handed salute was copied from the Roman military salute. With the salute were spoken the words 'Sieg Hiel' which translated means "Hail to the call of victory" which was sometimes combined with a heel click.
How did other Germans feel about Hitler's belief that Germans were superior?
In many countries people grew up believing that their own nation was superior to others, but it's something that was simply assumed and not based on an ideology. There was also the widely held view in Germany that the Germans were the true custodians of education, science and scholarship and that other peoples hardly understood these things. Joncey
