Sadly, the Putin cheerleaders from the Paulbot and DU will be arriving.
Some may even work for Putin.

Sudetenland was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and then Czhechoslovakia. It had never been part of Germany, which came into existence only in 1870.

Crimea was Russian from 1783 to 1954, when General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev (a Ukrainian) gave it to the Ukrainian SSR (a constituent republic of the USSR) as an expression of brotherly love.

There is no comparison for someone who actually knows the history.

I suspect that only way the the FR Putin apologists could have questioned the results of this referendum would have been if Jimmah Cahtah had participated as an observer. Parochial interests always overrule common sense.

So aggressively stupid, it knows no bounds. The Crimeans are mostly all Russian s, who desperately want to be with Russia. Even those who aren’t Eastern Serbs apparenly by large margins would rather become Russians than join the Soros-funded mob.

Comparisons between both moves by Hitler and his Nazi govermnment of the Saarland and Sudentenland are full of revisionist reviews.
The Sudentenland was taken over after the invasion by Poland and Germany of the newly emerged state known as Czecheslovokia. There were german speakers who favored the freedom offered by the Czech goverment. There was no vote. It was a province of the the old Austrian Hungary kingdom and histocially German princes supported the Czech king.

The Saar was a different story. When Hitler held his plebicite 80% of the Germans there voted for being reconected with the united Germany formed under Bismarck it was removed along with Alsace (Strasbourg which is across the river) as reparations to France after WWI. After WWII another vote was again held under the strictest of supervision and again 80% voted for its return.
