Well, that is just false. (walt)
Uh, Walt. There was a little thing that happened a few decades back called World War II. It had to do with Hitler expanding to unite the Germanic people and to take over the world. Ever heard of it?
Hitler saw the Brits as aryan, but he sought a peace with them, not unification.
Uh, Walt. Back in that little thing called World War II there was a massive continuous air raid over London by Hitler. It's called the Battle of Britain and wasn't peaceful in any reasonable way. Ever heard of it?
If extermination is unification
In simplified terms, that's more or less how Hitler saw it.
Hitler didn't seek to "unify" with the Czechs, or Poles or anybody.
Last I checked, the Czechs and Poles were not Germanic. They were Czech are Polish.
That never happened.
"After the conquest of Poland, and the division of the spoils with Russia, Hitler made a bid for peace with the Western Powers. When he was rebuffed he began to feel afraid of what he had started-- and of his temporary partner [Russia]. He expressed the view that a long drawn-out war of attrition with Britain and France would gradually exhaust Germany's limited resources, and expose her to a fatal attack from behind by Russia. "By no treaty or pact can Russia's lasting neutrality be ensured," he told his generals. His fear urged him to force peace on France by an offensive in the West. He hoped that if the French were defeated, the British would see reason and come to terms. He reckoned that time was working against him on every count.
Hitler did not dare to risk playing a waiting game, to see whether the French grew tired of war. He believed that for the moment he had the strength and equipment to beat France. "In certain arms, the decisive arms, Germany today possesses clear, indisputable superiority of weapons." Hitler felt that he must strike as soon as possible, before it was too late. His order was: "The attack is to be launched, if conditiom an at all possible, this autumn."
Hitler's reckoning, and these instructions were set out in a long memorandum of October 9th, 1939. His analysis of the military factors in the situation was masterly, but he left out of account a vital political factorthe "bulldoggedness" of the British people when aroused.
His generals shared his long-term fears, but did not share his short-term confidence. They did not think that the German Army was strong enough to beat France. All the top ones to whom I talked, including Rundstedt and his chief planner, Blumentritt, admitted that they were full of doubt about taking the offensive in the West. As Blumentritt remarked: "Hitler alone believed that a decisive victory was possible."
General Siewert, who had been Brauchitsch's personal assistant from 1939 to 1941, said that no plan for an offensive in the West had even been considered until after the Polish campaign, and that Brauchitsch was dismayed when, early in October, he received Hitler's directive to prepare such a plan.
"Field-Marshal von Brauchitsch was dead against it. All the documents relating to this plan will be available in the archives wherever they are, and they will show that he advised the Fiihrer against invading the West."

Hitler had no plans for world conquest. That is nonsense.

Laughably false, like almost everything you post.
"On November 5, 1937, an event occurred that was soon destined to disrupt the productive cooperation of the General Staff and the General Army Office. On that day Hitler announced to five of his chief subordinates his plans for a dramatic expansion of Germany over the next few years. The five officials attending that meeting were Foreign Minister Baron Konstantin von Neurath, Defense Minister Blomberg, and the three service Commanders in Chief, Colonel General von Fritsch of the Army, General Admiral Raeder of the Navy, and Colonel General Goering of the Air Force. These were the senior officials who would have to carry out these plans. Hitler still held to the program he had laid down in Mein Kampf many years earlier.
The expanding German population must have Lebensraum in central and eastern Europe. He seems not to have specifically mentioned either Poland or Russia, but his listeners had no doubt that these were the ultimate targets. First, however, Austria and Czechoslovakia must be occupied to secure better strategic frontiers for Germany and to bring more Germans into the Reich.
Force would obviously have to be used, and at some stage it was possible that France and Britain would intervene and have to be dealt with. The period 1943-1945 was the latest time Hitler gave for the carrying out of his program. But he said the armed forces must be prepared before then because opportunities allowing attack on Austria could arise during 1938, just two months away.

I can't believe you are spouting this absolute nonsense. Hitler --never-- had plans for world conquest.
