It won’t. If we’ve learnt anything from history, it’s that the military almost always sides with the fascist state. They are built to support the status quo, no matter how bad it gets (up to and including internal genocide). They only rebel when their own institution is threatened, which a fascist state explicitly doesn’t do.
There were German leaders who quietly opposed Hitler and Nazism. At least one participated in an assassination attempt. There's a reason the Schtuzstaffel had to be created; tasking the Wehrmacht with creating and operating concentration camps would have probably led to a lot more opposition.
Yeah, and ‘quietly’ is the key word.
If you’re expecting an internal coup, you’ll be waiting a long time. There was no real coup against Hitler. His army never stopped him.
I'm sure Putain arranges a "coup attempt" every so often to keep people in line.
