Uaahhh, the author seems to be referring to the " Dolchstosslegende "
saying, that Jews and communists at home were the reason for the defeat
of Germany ( which was a defeat ).
It has been a chauvinsists, militaristic propaganda legende in the
Weimarer Republik, but who writes such crap in LA Times ??
Or did you misunderstand the article ? :)
