HISTORICAL SETTING: European Theater
In Germany, a national recession due to the loss of World War I (WWI) and subsequent reparations allowed Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler to rise to power. His charisma helped to propagate his beliefs of expanding Germany, fixing its economy, and exterminating the Jewish people.
"The Germans are a noble and unique race to whom the earth was given by the grace of God" (qtd. in "War Comes to America").
