One can certainly disagree about the conditions during and in the Weimar Republic and interpret the situation differently.
One thing is certain, however: the street was not conquered by a relentless stream of hateful propaganda from political leaders and their state-controlled media:
- the so-called "Machtergreifung" (appointment of Adolf Hitler as Reichs Chancellor by Reichs President Paul von Hindenburg ) was on 30 January 1933,
- the "Schriftleitergesetz" (Law on Editors) (passed on 4 October 1933), came into force on 1 January 1934 - the most important instruments for the Gleichschaltung of the press in the National Socialist German Reich. (That law was following the earlier
Gleichschaltungsgesetz"("synchronisation law'"), the process of successively establishing a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society.
So, "no", I don't what you you wrote in the above quote.
