And Earnst Röhm starts NSDAP anyway. Göring gets radicalized by Himmler (and probably still orders Röhm executed). The Nuremberg laws still get passed aroung 1935. Heydrich and Eichmann still create the German genocide machine in 1941-1942.

Göring might be better at listening to his generals, prolonging the war. Göring may choose to expand west Revenge for the Versailles treaty rather than the pure hatred of Slavs and Rus....

Sadly, fascist uprisings are about shitty circumstances more than charismic strongman leaders. And when we raise kids to be good statespersons they get filtered out by the hidden oligarchs. See the DCCC response to Occasio-Cortez' primary victory.

What we can do is start La Résistance right now. Small things like defacing propaganda, disrupting communication and transportation of authorites and law enforcement. Start tiny. Watch for opportunities to use the chaos of overcomplexity to sabotage the bastards. Think it through, how they might catch you, and how you will mitigate their tail.

Don’t forget about the Évian Conference. On the eve of war in 1938 representatives from 32 countries, including the US, UK and Australia, met to “address the problem” of Jewish refugees trying to flee Germany and Austria. Nothing was agreed upon. I’m really ashamed of my Australian countryman T. W. White who said:

As we have no real racial problem, we are not desirous of importing one.

The rest of the world was incredibly prejudice towards the Jewish people at the time as well.
