"Robert Menzies was greatly impressed with much of what he saw when he and his wife toured Nazi Germany in 1938, although Menzies, then Australia’s Attorney General, did perceive an emerging dark side.

“I must confess that we were both glad to escape from the somewhat queer atmosphere of Germany…” Menzies wrote home. “Nevertheless, it must be said that this modern abandonment by the Germans of individual liberty and of the easy and pleasant things of life has something rather magnificent about it.

“The Germans may be pulling down the churches, but they have erected the State, with Hitler as its head, into a sort of religion which produces spiritual exaltation that one cannot but admire…”

Menzies also admired Germany’s ‘tremendous motor roads’, good wages, lack of unemployment and absence of strikes. "

Found this to be relevant to todays environment // not pulling down churches but the safety nets of government.
