If only John Kerry had been around. He would have prevented WWII by sitting down with Hitler and talking to him.

The West could have stopped Hitler in 1936 at the cost of at most a few thousand dead. By waiting until 1939 the cost rose to 55 million. Something to think about the next time the UN calls for more diplomacy in dealing with Iran.

One of the most underrated things about WWII is the contribution of the Poles to the ultimate defeat of the Germans.

It's also Emma M. Nutt Day
When : September 1st
Emma M. Nutt Day celebrates the first woman telephone operator in America.
Emma Nutt became the first woman telephone operator on September 1, 1878. She loved the job, and worked at it for 33 years.
This special day celebrates the world of telephone operators. It was a very important job for many decades. Today, the position has been eliminated being replaced by automation in telephone systems.

The most comprehensive book written on the prelude to Germany's invasion of Poland (That I've read) is "The Deadly Embrace"
Much of it covers the negotiations between Germany and The Soviet Union including the secret protocol papers.
It is extremely well written and most enjoyable.

What reason did Hitler give for invading Poland? Or did he give one at all?
