Yes he most certainly is "justifying" Hitler's behavior.
Mr. Buchanan seems to think that it's the Poles' fault that Hitle "had" to invade.
Somehow, Hitler's only option was to team up with the Soviets and invade, once those nasty ol' Poles' failed to "negotiate" (i.e., give in to Hitler's demands).
Essentially, he's asking, "what other choice did Hitler have?"
Well, Hitler could have, oh ... not invaded? Not teamed up with that other noted mass murderer, Mr. Stalin?
To blame the Poles is to ignore Hitler's ambitions. Pat does that a lot.
But ... if we are to accept Pat's logic ... how are we to explain Hitler's invasion of Russia in 1941? What nefarious "failure to negotiate" caused that?
Oh ... and did the Jews and Ukrainians and Gypsies and Russians and Slavs and all those others who were killed by Hitler's minions ... with whom did they fail to negotiate? Are we to lay their bodies at the feet of Poland, too, even if most of them were killed long after Poland had been conquered?
There are no two ways about it: Pat is a f*cking loon, a Nazi apologist, and he has been for quite some time. Beyond that, his behavior and writings suggest that he's hated -- hated -- the Bush family for years. So, in addition to being a loon, he's further addled by BDS.
Where does Pat excuse Hitler for the moral culpability for his abominations?
