What “new tanks” would have been in the 1938 parade? Panzer II’s? Still would have be fun to watch...
Ah, the Germans and their love for artillery.
The expert preparations for the onslaught on Czechoslovakia were obviously in fine shape by the summer's end. But what about the defense of the west, should the French honor their word to the Czechs and attack? On August 26 Hitler set off for a tour of the western fortifications accompanied by Jodl, Dr. Todt, the engineer in charge of building the West Wall, Himmler and various party officials. On August 27 General Wilhelm Adam, a blunt and able Bavarian who was in command of the west, joined the party and in the next couple of days witnessed how intoxicated the Fuehrer became at the triumphal reception he was given by the Rhine-landers. Adam himself was not impressed; in fact, he was alarmed, and on the twenty-ninth in a surprising scene in Hitler's private car he abruptly demanded to speak with the Fuehrer alone. Not without sneers, according to the General's later report, Hitler dismissed Himmler and his other party cronies. Adam did not waste words. He declared that despite all the fanfare about the West Wall he could not possibly hold it with the troops at his disposal. Hitler became hysterical and launched into a long harangue about how he had made Germany stronger than Britain and France together.
"The man who doesn't hold these fortifications," Hitler shouted, "is a scoundrel!"*
* Hitler, according to Jodl's diary, used the word Hundsfott, a stronger word. Telford Taylor, in Sword and Swastika, gives a fuller account based on General Adam's unpublished memoirs.
