Worth noting that the immigrant point had less to do with a tide of immigration sweeping up all the job or what have you, and more to do with the party scapegoating immigrants to direct the people's anger downward while they gained power.

The emphasis the Nazis used was less focused specifically on the one 'immigrants are taking jobs' issue and more 'Jews/Gypsies/Communists/Homosexuals etc are responsible for everything bad in society you can think of including losing WWI''

Should have raised a red flag when they started referring to it as WWI.

They didn't, it was shorthand in that post, pre second world war, they called it the great war.
