Chancellor Heinrich Bruning

“One major factor in Hitler’s rise….was the fact that he received large sums of money from foreign countries in 1923 and later [France, Poland and Czechoslovakia], and was well paid for sabotaging the passive resistance in the Ruhr district….In later years he [Hitler] was paid to excite unrest and encourage revolution in Germany by people who imagined that this might weaken Germany permanently and make the survival of any constitutional, central government impossible.”

Chancellor Heinrich Bruning of Germany.
