Hitler, however, used more than fear to motivate his listeners. He capitalized on the self-contempt of those who had been swindled out of their property and moral values, and whose sense of self had been shattered. He saw that people like these had regressed to the immature state of adolescence and were ready to follow a leader—to reconstruct their own moral codes and personalities according to the artificial collectivist and nationalist ideal of the leader’s twisted vision. Hitler addressed and chastised them accordingly: “The German people [is] made up of children, for only a childish people will accept million-mark bills.”
