This fairy tale of Hilter was just a lunatic and it all was a just one huge false in pan is foolishness designed to avoid answering hard questions about what was wrong(and is wrong) that Hilter rose and had support to lesser or greater degree throughout Europe and many who didn't support still didn't want to fight him.

Small countries like Holland, Belgium, and Poland did not the have the military means to fight Hitler, they were forced into his rule. Some of the population in Europe were nazis or sympathizers, but it is untrue Hitler was enthusiastically supported. In each of them there were large underground resistance movements during his occupation. Even in France as I recall the films there were thousands of American flags waving as the troops and tanks poured into Paris. Or am I to believe those people were forced and dragged into the streets to show support, similar to a May Day parade in Red Square?

I am saying that the majority the people
in conquered nations supported Hitler.
I was only pointing out Facism was not limited
to Germany and that in fact has significant
support throughout Europe.
In fact in the 30s the Facists almost
took power in France.
France was almost on Germany's side form the
start of the war!
