“On what planet do you have to be from to believe that Hitler’s 1941 invasion of Russia proves that he didn’t want to invade France & England?”
Well, let’s see: Hitler wrote an entire book about foreign policy, two books actually, about his dream of forming an alliance with Britain, which clearly showed that he had no desire whatsoever to fight a war in the West or against the British Empire, and wasn’t willing to go to war with France either over Alsace and Lorraine.
It was Britain that declared war on Germany. France was dragged into the war. It was all about maintaining an absurd system of alliances - Poland, Austria, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia - which in theory were supposed to hold down the Germans, but which in reality only dragged Britain into another world war that caused it to lose its own empire.
“Winston Churchill did not become Prime Minister May 1940. Germany had already invaded at least 7 countries on the Western Front.”
The German invasion of Norway and Denmark was actually inspired by Britain’s plan - actually, Churchill’s plan - to occupy both countries to launch an attack against Germany. It was a disaster like Gallipolli.
Britain and France declared war on Germany. That’s why Germany overran the Netherlands and Belgium to bypass the stupid French defense perimeter. There was no preconceived German plan to attack those countries.
It was entirely the result of Britain declaring war on Germany.
“England had declared war on Germany, but had not taken any significant offensive action.”
Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other way around. Why did they declare war? Because, Chamberlain had given the war guarantee to Poland, which Poland interpreted as a license to hold onto Danzig.
“There was no indication they would, if Germany had stayed status quo. Any British leader in history, would not allow Germany to control all of France.”
There never would have been a war between France and Germany if Britain hadn’t dragged France into the war. The French weren’t that enthusiastic about going to war over Poland.
“It’s basic geopolitics. Germany did not have to invade all of Western Europe to keep Danzig, Which they already controlled anyway.”
Germany invaded Western Europe - because, Britain and France declared war on Germany, as part of their genius of an alliance with Poland, to force Germany into a two front war.
There is no proof that Hitler had any desire to attack the West. On the contrary, there is mounds of evidence that his goal was to attack the Soviet Union, and that he was stunned when Britain went to war over Poland.
“There is not theory of war or geopolitics that says that was necessary. Also, they had a long-developed plan to invade France. Why did they need that, if they had not intention to invade France.”
How many times had France attacked Germany over the past two hundred years? It was France that attempted to dismember Germany after WW1.
Wow! Churchill used mind control to Make Hitler attack those two countries. And he wasn't even the leader of any country, unlike Hitler. Why don't you use the same mind control to make Obama do what you want?
So, you've come out of the closet? So you believe we can take everything Hitler said as true? Just so I get you to admit this: If I come up with a quote from Mein Kampf, you will attest that you believe it to be true? Please post that in reply to this post. I will go to the library tomorrow], and find some quotes. Then you can make a post that say's, "I WilliamHouston agree with XXXXX, because Hitler said it in Mein Kampf and I cited this book as a reliable source to NickCarraway.
