→spectrum: If it wasn't for the Comintern, you never would have heard of Adolf Hitler
:Hans Gisevius, ''To the Bitter End: An Insider's Account of the Plot to Kill Hitler, 1933-1944'' [http://www.amazon.com/Bitter-End-Insiders-Account-1933-1944/dp/0306808692] is usually considered the definitive account on this, however it will always remain the domain of conspiracy theorists.

::I'll have to read it. But doesn't that conflate two questions? First, whether there was really some international Communist plot to burn down the Reichstag, after Hitler came to power (which, apparently, Gisevius agrees with, if I read you correctly), and second, whether there was an international component to the Weimar era Communist gangs. It's just a minor point, of course, and not really woth disputing. I just want to make sure it's accurate (and perhaps I'm nitpicking).--[[User:Epicurius|Steve]] 18:09, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

:::This requires some understanding of what Communism, and the Communist Party is. The KPD didn't exist in a vacuum, it wasn't purley localized and homegrown. It was subservient to Moscow and the [[Workers World Revolution]]. If it wasn't for the Comintern, you probably never would have heard of Adolf Hitler. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 20:12, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
