Pat only compounds his silliness when he then exclaims that had Poland given in there might not have been a war at all. It's ludicrous on its face and while I do like Pat if he keeps up this kind of reasoning his credibility, what's left of it is going to go down faster than the Luftwaffe did in the Battle of Britain.

First a minor bit of historical correction. The Luftwaffe did not go down fast in the Battle of Britain. It went on for quite a while and a lot of brave airmen died in fending them off. Hitler gave up and moved on to other things, with the Luftwaffe remaining quite a potent force for a long time after that.

Nowhere does Pat say WWII would not have happened but for Poland's intransigence. The only conclusion is that it could not have gone worse for Poland and might have gone better.

The quote by Pat that's been posted several times does state that the tanks wouldn't have rolled had Poland negotiated on Danzig. Without tanks moving there's no war right? The only logical conclusion to make from those remarks is that the war was Poland's fault.

Now I realize he's trying to draw an analogy to modern day events but not only is it an inaccurate one but it is insulting to our intelligence and silly. Hitler and only Hitler started WW2 and everybody else who suffered because of it were his victims.

Then let's just say Pat's credibility is going down faster than the Luftwaffe did when it met the P51 Mustang:
