What was the politically-correct talk that gave rise to Nazism?



Kindly note, none of what I'm saying justifies Nazism.

There was quite a bit of PC. Germany was paying huge war reparations to France and UK. It was sort of portrayed as 'atonement of sins'. Economy was in tatters. There was insane levels of humiliation dumped on German populace for losing WW1. People were expected to simply eat it up as moral punishment.

None of this justifies WW2 or Nazism of course.
