That was good. I could actually believe that to be a true version, as most of what was said in this interview actually happened. You wrote it well, and the ending was true. What a sad time those poor people went through at the hands of that madman. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you for the review and excellent comments. Yes it was a horrible time in history. I was shocked to learn how many of his own soldiers he put to death for deserting.

Excellent, revealing past-time interview, Beth.
Those gruesome times served to learn never to repeat them...or so we thought and hoped. The upcoming neo-fascist's groups are alarming and disgusting.

1. ...he accused the other (other) party
2. ...of what he (is) doing to them
3. ...Thu Seeker pushes a button (it was Tru Seeker, was it not?)

    Thank you so much for the review and comments. I appreciate you seeing the spots where I made mistakes. Yes those group are scary and I have a horror this could repeat in the US. The similarities to our own leader are chilling.
    Beth Thank you for your generous stars.

This is a wonderfully written piece of history combined with fiction. The writing engaged me from the very beginning to the end. Well done!

Your script is a chillingly accurate portrayal of the parallels in social engineering by manipulative leaders, based on misinformation and exploiting the fear factor. America's current leadership is driven by narcissism and self-delusion, just as Germany's was. You haven't mentioned Trump but I will. He may not be massacring millions, but he has divided a country, corrupted the once-respected office of president, confused Christians, alienated many patriotic residents, reneged on past alliances... etc etc.

    Thank you so much for the review and excellent comments. I thought I'd let the readers draw the parallels between Nazi Germany and today's America. Our leader may not be massacring us, but he has no problem with other leaders who do.

    Thank you so much for the review and comment and for awarding me another six stars. Only three seem to have entered so at worst I may place third. Thanks for the helpful typo notice and suggestion.

You dug into the archives for this one. Many like her mostly Jews. The destiny of the man was certain just as the Jews were tried in the fire. Both literally and spiritually. Today restoration exist from 1948 etc.
This is very good. I was stationed not far from the story is mentioned.
Good one Beth. To me, really good.

    Thank you so much for the review and comments and for the six stars. I've been to Munich. It is an interesting city. I was hoping you would review it. My script has at least rubbed one person the wrong way. I'm glad you liked it.

    Beth, there are five ways that I know of how to write script. Look them up on Google and pick the one you wish to use. I have written script here on Fan Story and walked away with their trophy but it has been a few years back. Fade in you characters and events after an overall introduction.
    Check it out. I think it will help.
    Let me know if I can assist.
reply by the author on 13-Sep-2020
    This is the third one I've written and I've just winged it. One more and maybe I'll be a recognized script writer and I'll have to pay more attention as to how to do it right.
    I didn't bother with fade-in on this one because I was running over the word limit.

Dear Beth, unfortunately, the majority of people nowadays can be manipulated, intimidated or eliminated just as easily as they always have been, since the beginning of time.
What do you think 'Political? Correctness is?
What do you think the riots and parades under the banners of 'Black Maters' are?

    You are right; People can be manipulated so we have to careful about what we buy into. So many older people are taken advantage of by scammers on send messages on the net or call on the phone. Political figures try to manipulate us just that have always through history and the young as well as the old are their victims. We are better off being skeptical of everything until we are sure of the facts, and knowing the facts isn't always so easy. Thanks for the review and the comments. Political correctness and riots are all forms of manipulation too. It comes for both sides.

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. I am always amazed how history repeats it's self. We are doomed to repeat ourselves again, if Americans don't wake up and wake up very soon. I wish you the best of luck with the contest.

    Thank you so much for the review and comments. I don't expect a lot of reviews because I think, in spite of the fact that I didn't name any names from today, it seems to be touching a few nerves.

This is interesting, but I had to stop, so much is too... Well, fiction writers are allowed creative licensing. The writing is well done.

notes:

My parents felt he would be [the] thing Germany needed

- missing word

He divided our political parties and accused the other other party of becoming too socialistic.

- I know this is fiction, but this part isn't historically true.

    Thank you for the review.and comments and I appreciate you noticing the missing word. I didn't make up any of the history. I just got it from several sources I read but of course history writers of that day may have added their own bias. Several sources say he warned that the socialism of that day would turn to communism.

A lot of what you described here is happing today. Which I'm sure was purposely done. The splitting nation, people against people, the riots, the threats of communism. I just hope whoever our next leader is won't go to Hitler's extreme. It already has to some small extent.
