Adolf Hitler apparently had a great gift as a speaker. The Nazi party gained a great deal of strength as a nationalistic movement that promised to save Germany during the depression years. They attracted a great deal of support with the promise of many new jobs, and a stronger Germany. Hitler and the party developed a very strong patriotism that demanded loyalty to ones country. It was later, when the Nazi party seized control of the country, that their evil plan was unfolded. They used hatred toward certain groups as fuel to their patriotic causes.
Here in the USA, we associate patriotism toward our forefather's goals and our Constitution. We use patriotism to honor our soldiers for their bravery and the sacrifices that they made for us. Using the checks and balances system as well as term limits, we hope to discourage a "Hitler Type" from taking control of our Republic.
Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde.
I am certain that Oscal Wilde was referring to a Hilter and other dictatorship that built themselves power.

It wasn't hard, any lunitic without scruples could have done it given the circumstances. Germany and the rest of the world were in a depression. German pride was injured because of their loss in WW1 and the penalties imposed on her at the Treaty of Versaille. Thus the German people needed an answer. Hitler gave them one. According to him, Jews lost Germany the First World War and were responsible for Germany's present problems. Hitler massaged the German people's ego by telling them they were actually superior to everyone else and were destined for great things. The German people ate it up. Hitler used murder, arson and gangs to spread fear among those that were a threat to him. In Japan and Italy the same thing was happening. Military dictatorships were created as a solution to the countrie's economic problems. They promised to restore their nations to greatness. Germany was a well respected and powerful nation prior to the First World War. As Hitler grew in power he eliminated his rivals by murder http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/night_of_the_long_knives.htm and kept pressure on the Jews http://www.mtsu.edu/~baustin/knacht.html. He was made chancellor in 1933 and immediately burned the German Parliament. It took Hitler's Nazi party years to gain seats in the Reichstag via threats, blackmail, murder etc enabling him to be voted chancillor. Now he removed it and gave himself all decision making power. BUT the main reason Hitler was able to come to power was the People mostly from indifference and not wanting to get involved allowed him to.
