Did a 1933 Article Report That Hitler Would Not 'Disrupt' Germany?

Events always seem more obvious and predictable after they have already taken place.

Here’s a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation’s Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

    I have some american stocks and funds and have seen a pretty weird increases in them. Wondering whether selling all of them would be a good idea right now…

    … but then again the rise kept going the last time Trump was president so I dunno.

    Also: Trump is not Hitler. Republicans are not the nazi party. I hope this comment doesn’t age like milk.
