The feeling that the Germans had been betrayed internally when Germany surrendered in World War I (because the German public was under the impression that they were winning almost up until the point when they surrendered) led to the increasing of anti-Semitic propaganda which sort of set the seeds for what was to come with Hitler's government, because to extremist groups, the Jews served as a scapegoat for who supposedly betrayed Germany. I think this should be integrated into the article, especially as the very end hints at the economic failures of the Weimar Republic as setting the stage for Nazi Germany, and it wasn't just economics. I'd kind of like to hear from the other people who have been editing this as to how to best go about this.
