Imagine that you travel in time back to January 30, 1933, in Germany. You speak German.

You are in a popular barber shop in Berlin. 6 other men and 3 women, friends or wives of the men, are in the barber shop with you. The radio is playing wonderful music by Wilhelm Bach. Everybody is enjoying the music.

A radio announcer interrupts the music program and says he has an important announcement for all Germans and Germany.

Several nice German people crowd around the radio with you to hear the important announcement.

Millions of Germans across Germany are crowding around their radios, too.

The radio announcer says, in German, "Ladies and Gentlemen, today the National Socialist German Worker's Party has just released a statement that it has appointed Adolf Hitler as the new Chancellor of Germany."

Everybody in the barber shop smiles. Everybody likes the news. They are all thinking the same thing, "Hitler. A great man. Our Chancellor. He will make Germany great again."

A man standing next to you, Heinz, asks you, "What kind of Chancellor do you think Hitler will be?

You look straight into Heinz's eyes and answer, "6 years from now he will start World War Two. The war will last 6 years. The war will kill more than 70 million people around the world. Beginning today, during the next 12 years, Hitler will order the execution of more than 11 million Jews and other minorities in Germany, Poland, and other countries that border Germany. Hitler's Nazi Party will murder most of those 11 million victims in concentration camps."

Heinz looks at you like you are crazy and says, "You are out of your mind. Hitler is a great man. We all love him. He will be a great Chancellor. He will make the Fatherland great again. Get out of here. We don't want to ever see or hear you again. Don't ever come back to this barber shop!"

You walk out of the barber shop and return to your life in the year 2015. The date is November 10, the day Fallout 4 has been released. You sit down in your comfortable chair in your home and think about what the great American writer Mark Twain once said:

"History does not repeat itself. It rhymes."
