What would Bismarck have thought of the Third Reich?

[Xenomorph]

What would Otto Von Bismarck thought of the structure and policies of Nazi Germany? Would he have supported it, hated it, been utterly baffled by it?

[Osprey]

Utterly Provocative and Dangerous.
He was a very cautious military leader of what i've read of him.

[ikki]

conservative and real politics oriented, you can forget about strong emotions. He would preform when ordered, and thats it

[The Lawspeaker]

I guess he would have been on the team with people like von Stauffenberg.

[Graus]

Bismark was a conservative Prussian Landjunker and royalist, no way he would have supported a catholic former private from Austria.

That's probably true. But nevertheless you have to consider that Hindenburg, someone with a similar world view as Bismarck, promoted him to be chancellor.

Indeed, I could have pictured Bismark doing the same because he was foremost political realist and he certainly would have favoured the NSDAP over the commies. However we are still talking here about Hitler the chancellor, the "Bohemian private" Hindenburg and his fellow conservatives believed to be easily manipulated. I doubt the president would have liked the idea of Hitler merging both of their offices and becoming the Führer.
We cant know for sure but I really cant picture them to be bosom buddies.

[RussiaPrussia]

he wouldnt like it


Hitler came from the south hes was austrian which prussia at the time hated still, also hitler removed the fracture script and replaced it with latin alphabet.

[Anusiya]

He certainly would have him shot on the spot. He was classes morally superior to Hindenburg.
