Of course at the time in was part of Germany. That East Prussian “attraction” in present day Poland would be less controversial if they named it after Count von Stauffenberg and it would be appropriate as it is the site where his brief case bomb exploded but failed to kill Hitler on July 20th, 1944.
I agree with your assessment of Hitler’s three largest blunders.
However, think of the enormous resources lost trying to invade the USSR, and now think of what might have happened if the same resources were used to invade England. It would have worked, as England would have been eventually overwhelmed and beaten.
Then there would be no land base for D-Day to be launched from. Actually, there never would have been a D-Day. Hitler would not only have had the French Navy intact, but much of what would have been left of the British Navy.
Thank God that the Bavarian Corporal was a mad man.
(subject change) At that time he had the best fighting machine possible, as we do today. Now think of what would happen if a mad man got charge of our fighting machine with all the nukes????????
Considering voter fraud, the nutjobs in the dem party running, it’s just around the corner.
