Explanation:
Referring to the reason why David Lloyd George, who was the British Prime Minister at the time of World War I admired Hitler, the author said,
"As to his popularity, especially among the youth of Germany, there can be no manner of doubt. The old trust him; the young idolize him. It is not the admiration accorded to a popular Leader. It is the worship of a national hero who has saved his country from utter despondency and degradation..."
So the fact that Hitler was worshipped like a god by most Germans, made David Lloyd George admire him.
He calls Hitler “the George Washington of Germany” because similar to how George Washington fought and was successful in getting America independence, Hitler was also seen as a savior; since he liberated Germany from its oppressors.
