It ia obvious you feel, by your last post, that you cannot reason with the unreasonable. This is because by definition they are unable to reason.

“Give me liberty or let me prolong my fate a little while by negotiating.” Or New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Negotiate a While”

The Germans were not an irrational unreasoning nation. They were simply moral monsters whose goals were anathema to civilized people. A lunatic is incapable of organizing violence to achieve desired ends. An evil genius is otherwise.

Who can know whether the fate of the Jews in Eastern Europe might have been different had Hitler got his corridor to Russia, bypassed unoccupied Poland (remember a lot of France also remained unoccupied), and gotten bogged down attacking the Soviets?

Importantly, the fate for the Eastern European Jews could not have been worse.

As to the unresonable person I am arguing with above, when

And finally, the position of the Jews in Nazi occupied Warsaw were very very different than the New Hampshire patriots in the face of the British. There is a difference of distance, firepower, and the ultimate moral constraints on the opponent.
