Gentlemen,

I’m afraid of playing the devil‘s advocate for once, but in my opinion, that deluge of third world immigrants into the West was something which couldn’t have been foreseen in 1945.
Then, there was no real sign of it. Take the USA: yes, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Oriental Exclusion Act of 1924 were, bit by bit, rescinded in the 1940s and in 1952, but still the numbers actually admitted into the US were very small.

If you ask me, it was mainly the population explosion in the third world which drove the massive emigration of third worlders to the West. But much too liberal immigration laws, a thirst for cheap labor and - later, particularly after the 1970 - especially the principle of „non-refoulement“ of refugees, which the UN had enshrined in its principles in 1951.

Yes, I believe that Hitlerism then and the Great Replacement of our times are two different heads of the Hydra of Evil, and not directly connected.

The Immigration Act of 1924, pretty much cut off immigration from Asian countries, namely Japan.

The Japanese were angry about this. Up to this point, Japanese-American relations were still pretty good, but the anger over the 1924 Immigration Act started the downturn in US-Japanese Relations that ultimately led to Pearl Harbor.

The deluge of third world immigrants, allowed by the political, religious and financial elites, I think will give rise to another Hitler. But this time, after seeing what the political, religious and economic elites have done, I know which side I will be on.

Yes, of course it's silly and pointless to engage in hypotheticals and historical revisionism.

Hitler killed himself and the Nazis were soundly defeated.

But as I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the valiant effort of liberating Europe less and less.

For what was the point of defeating the Nazis only to see new armies of millions of young men invade and not even fire a shot in defense?
