Key quote: “A.J.P. Taylor, very famously and controversially, in his book on the origins of the Second World War, published, I think, in the 1960s, said, well, Hitler was just a common or garden German nationalist.”
The host references A.J.P. Taylor's book to illustrate the complexities of Hitler's motivations and the economic pressures driving his aggressive policies. Taylor's argument that Hitler was merely a common German nationalist is challenged, emphasizing the unique and dangerous nature of his ideology.
