Was Hitler Solely to Blame? Question I was wondering if you could help me with some research. The statement is.... "Hitler was totally to blame and solely responsible for the atrocities committed by nazi regime." Could you please send me some info!!!!!! PPLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Harry Mazal answers: I am one of the persons who responds to questions sent to our page. Perhaps you can find part of the answer to your question in the following three essays that appear on our web-page: http://www.holocaust-history.org/short-essays/adolf-hitler.shtml http://www.holocaust-history.org/short-essays/why-the-jews.shtml http://www.holocaust-history.org/hitler-final-solution/ Reading these will give you some insight into who Hitler was and what sort of power he wielded. While Hitler was the absolute ruler of the Nazi regime, it would have been very hard for him to kill six million Jews (and millions of other people) by himself. Even with the help of his closest associates such as Himmler, Hitler needed thousands of Germans to carry out these slaughters. He also needed the full backing of the German nation. A crime of this magnitude would necessarily involve the acquiescence of millions of ordinary Germans. Please let me know if this is the information you were seeking. Yours sincerely, Harry W. Mazal OBE back to the list of questions
