In 1941, Walter Funk, Hitler’s economics Minister, launched the Europaische Wirtschafts Gemeinschaft (the European Economic Community) – EEC) to establish a single European currency. Hitler’s plan was to integrate the European economy into a single market.
In 1945 Hitler’s Masterplan (captured by the Allies) included a scheme to create an economic integration of Europe and to found a European Union on a federal basis. The Nazi plan for a federal Europe was based on Lenin’s belief that: ‘Federation is a transitional form towards complete union of all nations.’
A new book entitled, ‘The EU: The Truth About The Fourth Reich – How Hitler Won The Second World War‘, suggests Germany is the only country that benefits from a European Union,
I don't know if true..But Germany was the one doing the best in the EU.GLAD TO BE OUT OF THE EU..
That is popular among eurosceptics with doubtful financing that may come from somewhere out of Mother Russia to compare the EU with left (the USSR) and right (The Third Reich) totalitarianism in order to attack it as red/nazi antidemocratic organization. In fact, the Third Reich and the USSR (especially in Stalin era) had much in common: one party and its leader, one state ideology and propaganda that supports it etc. However, that states compared to the EU have significant differences: real sovereignty of states of the EU (when it the USSR the sovereignty was just formal and there wasn't such a thing in the Third Reich), multiparty system, the absence of state ideology per se and freedom of speech and the same absence of state propaganda controlling medias. So, I hardly see how the EU can be called both the new USSR and the Fourth Reich.
And it seems to me that Germany is facing with the similar problems as the other members of the EU as it can be called as a pan-European crisis. Otherwise it would be too easy to say that Germany is doing the best and just conquers other european states to create so-called European Reich.
