Anyhow exactly does thsis differentiate them from any other government form?
Substantial support but not majority they need for the enabling act was only passed through armed thuggery. They would not allow free and fare elections, Their government dictatorship was only achieved and maintained by violence, and thuggery.
Based on what? there was not free expression.
you'd be surprised how often successful armies had dunces. Napoleon overran Europe with Murat. German high command was populated with yes men. The administration was riddled with cronies and corruption. Goering was a poor military leader and administrator (if so far as he showed talent it was politics). My argument isn't the all Nazi appointments were dunces. Certainly the Military made most of it's own appointments the German army wasn't totally nazified, , The top German high command appointed by the Nazis were yes men (Brauchitsch, Jodl, ) The administration (the Gaultilers) and the Nazi party itself was generally corrupt throughout.
The Nazis generally appointed yes men or cronies, they were generally corrupt they relied on thugs, and they repelled most the top scientists.
