The "Stab in the Back" was the myth that was developed by German after the loss in World War 1. Unable to face the reality that they had weak policies which led to the failure in the War, they developed the myth of 'stab in the back.' According to this myth, they rumored that the war was lost because someone served as a traitor in the army. The traitors that they thought was based on the stereotypes about Jews and Communist.
<u>This myth contributed to the development of common enmity for Jews and Communists. Despite the fact, that they served in the army loyally and with faithfulness, they were used as scapegoats by Germans from their own mistakes</u>.
