[A.J.Armitage]

I can't say that the world would have been better off with German militarism unchecked and without its political role the Communists and Socialists would have been dominant.

Given what actually happened, how could just about any other scenario have been anything but better?

That is hard to argue with but it is also true that very few understand just what the Nazi movement was all about and what its sources of motivation and power were.

Believe me it was not just german misery, nationalism and militarism. Nihilism was a part of it and that would not have been changed by a german victory. Nietzsche predicted the coming Age of Nihilism and he was completely right.
