Derek Swanson · Answer 1

True.

Explanation:

The narrative of a shameful "betrayal" or "stabbing in the back" was a story associated with Germany's defeat in WWI constructed as part of the manipulative Nazi party's propaganda in the 1930s. Extreme right propaganda usually resorts to victimization and conspirative theories to manipulate historical events and people in a way that serves their political goals.
