Fascist-enabling media billionaires get sidelined because their fascist leaders have no loyalty? Who could have seen that one coming?
An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century, Alfred Hugenberg became the country’s leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People’s Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines.
