Where does Pat excuse Hitler for the moral culpability for his abominations?
Right here:
From March to August 1939, Hitler tried to negotiate Danzig. But the Poles, confident in their British war guarantee, refused. So, Hitler cut his deal with Stalin, and the two invaded and divided Poland.The cost of the war that came of a refusal to negotiate Danzig was millions of Polish dead, the Katyn massacre, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, the annihilation of the Home Army in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and 50 years of Nazi and Stalinist occupation, barbarism and terror.
So you see, if Chamberlain hadn't guaranteed, and the Poles had done the right thing and given in ... Hitler wouldn't have done any of that other stuff! And neither would the Soviets! Aren't those Poles horrible?
Pat's insane.
