Hitler started WWII.
We did. We set the stage, we did it all. It was inevitable.
Hitler was an opportunist who saw it coming and seized the reigns.
History is written by the Victors, but it’s always far more complex than we know.
If it had been ‘anybody but Hitler’, and the Anglos had acted more reasonably to the Danzig Crisis, history would have said that the Germans were merely seeking to rectify the immense damage done by the Treaty of Versailles.
Churchill was so concerned about Poland being invaded. I think that is why Churchill justified sending an to army. But, when WWII was over, Churchill agreed that the Poles should be enslaved behind the Iron Curtain. So, he wasn’t really that concerned about the fate of the Poles.
Another point, is Churchill was blamed for the Gallipoli Campaign debacle and needed a war to redeem his reputation.
A very good point in the podcast, is that Germany was a loser nation twice, and look what is now happening to Germany and its culture. It looks like a loser nation. England was a winner, and now it looks like a defeated nation. Poland and Hungary are for the Poles and Hungarians, and have not lost their cultural identy, nor has Russia. American globilist liberal influence can be toxic.
Listen to the podcast, then make up your own mind. The historian is not saying that Hitler is a nice guy. Only, only that Churchill firebombed cities and the only way he could defeat Germany was by getting the US into WWII.
The historian also said that anyone who opines anything negative about the Churchill myth would be quickly attacked.
Hitler started WWII.
And Stalin helped.
The seeds of WWII were partially sown by the Treaty of Versailles. So I suppose this historian would claim the allies started the war by winning WWI.
Not really. Hitler and Stalin took Poland for various reasons due to border security and such. England and France had guaranteed Polands sovereignty, although they was no real way they could do that effectively since neither had the resources near to do so. It was certainly the wrong reason to go to war to begin with.
