Jacob Appelbaum

“This lack of reaction arose partly because many in Germany and elsewhere chose to believe Hitler’s claim that he had suppressed an imminent rebellion that would have caused far more bloodshed. Evidence soon emerged, however, that showed that in fact Hitler’s account was false…

The controlled press, not surprisingly, praised Hitler for his decisive behaviour…In a letter to Hull, Dodd forecast an even more terroristic regime. ‘The people hardly notice this complete coup d’etat. It takes place in silence…I would swear that millions upon millions have no idea what a monstrous thing has occurred.'”

Erik Larson, The Garden of Beasts
