== some clean-up needed == 

 In the third paragraph, it reads "In their delusion of grandeur the political leaders decided to start making true all their only ideologically justified abhorrent menaces against minorities in Germany, especially against the Jews."  I doubt very much that anyone reading this wiki is unaware of the zeitgeist in Germany in the 1930s, so this is not necessary to the entry.  Furthermore, the language is nearly hysterical, not to mention absurdly redundant (what is an "abhorrent menace", and how does it differ from any other kind of menace?)  And I shouldn't have to point out that the Jews were not "especially" singled out for "menaces"; the Nazis were equally keen to menace Gypsies, Freemasons, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals and many other groups.  But unless anyone can justify this sentence's inclusion or rewrite it substantially, I'll return in a couple of weeks and prune it out.
