The thing is that Hitler and NSDAP Germany is such a big topic
It is probably the most lied about war and epoch in History.
But having said that, people will believe what their knowledge and intuition tell them..
And someone "convinced against their will is of the same opinion still.." so what I say might come across as completely ludicrous to some whilst seeming persuasive to others.
The way I see WWII is as a war that could have easily been avoided, had the will been there.
Unfortunately the situation was the complete opposite. The Great Powers wanted war .
Churchill said as much, saying once that the First World War and the Second World War were in essence one war and the purpose had been to put Germany back into its box (as a burgeoning world power that threatened the Trans Atlantic status quo).
John Major, elected British Prime minister in 1991, said in a speech made on the continent that the First World War and Second World War were "just one long war really, and all with the same aim.." - thus echoing and confirming what Churchill had said.
And also what
@JR5 mentioned above.
Both the Second World War and First World War ..and even the Franco Prussian war - were all very much concerned with the balance of power in Europe - a balance of power which the rise of Prussia and then a unified Germany - was thoroughly shaking up.
James Baker, George H W Bush's foreign secretary, gave an interview in the 1990's with a German magazine (either Die Stern OR Die Spiegel, can't remember which, it began with an S..) in which he said - roughly - "We created this bad guy, this outlandish propaganda figure, and then - when we actually won the war - we found ourselves stuck with him.."
It was a dispute over borders in Central Europe. Thats all it was. And that's how it should have stayed and the basis upon which it should have been resolved.
I remember learning some interesting things whilst studying History.
One History lecturer telling the class just how shocked both Hitler and Goebbels were on the morning that Britain and its Empire declared war on Germany. It came at them, supposedly, like a bolt from the blue.
That is credible as Britain had been Very Close to the Czechoslovak government and yet had allowed the annexation of the (German) Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia and THEN done nothing when Germany overtook Czechoslovakia after having enough of the Benes government and their politicking and war mongering.
Britain and France's alliance with Poland was a very recent thing and a pact that had been created for one reason in my book - to set Germany up for war - a war made necessary by Hitler disestablishing the German Exchequer and taking the German Central Bank and the Reichsmark off the Gold Standard.
Think Abraham Lincoln (banning interest rates) Muamar Qadafi (creating a gold backed African Currency) JFK (replacing the Federal Reserve with silver backed dollars) and Saddam Hussein (who similarly wanted to set up a gold backed currency)
The fact that it was a shock to the germans is confirmed by the fact that when the Brits declared war at 11am on 3rd September the French seemed to get cold feet, became hesitant and it took them several hours, six hours, to back up Britains declaration.
And Poland? Oh Britain had no time for Poland - they were just a means to an end. Both France and Britain spent a whole six days ignoring the Polish military attaches. When they did finally meet them on the 9th September Britain and France were entirely unable to offer military supplies..
eh? Some allies.
They didn't care. They just wanted their war.
Or maybe I stand corrected given the bravery with which whole battalions of British troops threw themselves against the Soviet Red Army when they similarly invaded Poland two weeks later - true to their word the British and the French sacrificed their troops bravely against Stalin because Plolands borders meant everything to the- oh.. no... wait.
Britain and France had given no credible signs that they would defend Poland in seriousness - so the Germans had read the signs - and you know what? The Germans were right - France invaded Germany briefly well yes (France wanted a war with Germany) but neither country did anything to push back the German and then later Soviet incursions into Poland. In fact the Brits and the French didn't even declare war on the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was somehow
still their ally.
Because it was never about Poland.
David Irving was right - it was a dispute over borders in Central Europe and it had nothing to do with Britain or France and the best thing would have been some kind of treaty or accord to peaceably resolve the situation.
I was at a History Seminar where a lecturer said "given the cruelty of the allied terror bombing, the Allies should have successfully sued for peace with the Germans in 1943 or 1944, the Germans would have agreed" Woah! Woah! All these history lecturers jumped up and chimed in.
One referenced the Holobunga and quoted AJP Taylor saying
"yes but who chopped the wood, who drove the trains, who stoked the fires, who worked the crematoria, who ran the gas chambers?" ie: no negotiation with "literally devils" (even though the Holobunga never happened)
Then someone mentioned David Irving and we were given an impromptu lecture on him.
"David Irving is dangerous okay? Because he has the best knowledge of the sources and evidence and he is the best at assessing what documents are real and which documents are forgeries and thus which events really happened and which were just alleged."
Right. SO the anti semite and conspiracy theorist David Irving is literally the only actual historian who can verify and confirm documents and events? Kind of contradictory.
Late Stage Irving has seemed very odd in recent years but bear in mind that this was after his jail spell, loss of his children and the British Police confiscating without legal justification his complicated card index system (his pride and joy) and destroying half of it - all whilst he was jailed in Austria on trumped up charges. So it is entirely possible that David Irving was gotten to in latter years and thus his narrative has gone haywire.
Early Years Irving was the one who discovered "the Focus" - a group of jewish financiers who were running Churchill. Freemason Churchill was a complete drunk and in grave financial troubles, he had an ancestral estate that he could not afford, his own father had died of Syphilis and Churchill could not afford to pay off the debts of his son who was now a gambling addict.
Churchill needed money. The jews needed a politician who would ram through their "War on Germany" - a war that they proclaimed back in 1933.
Churchill was cultivated and was in the pay of Jewish bankers.
Not only that but the Judeo-philic Benes Govt of Czechoslovakia was similarly paying fortunes to other British MPs to make trouble for Germany.
When Chamberlain visited the Munich conference the Germans showed him evidence that Churchill and his fellow jewish agents were plotting with the Benes Czech government and planning to take Chamberlain out (which is what happened).
British officials who saw the evidence registered their surprise and shock at Chrurchill and others' Treachery. A hanging offence.
Thereafter the Brits closed shop and refused to meet with or accept evidence from German officials about the matter going forward.
If you watch the French (Nazi made) documentary "
Forces Occultes" you can see the events related by a French politician who joined a mainly jewish, highly placed, freemason lodge that was obsessed with political interference and seeking war with Germany. He objected and they stabbed him. Its all there in his account.
France England and Wall Street wanted war with Germany at any cost, because of Germany's banking policies.
Germany was not ready for war and was not planning to engage in a Big War with great powers.
When Hitler attacked Poland on 1 September, Germany had no more than 2980 tanks altogether. After two weeks of fighting in Poland, the German tanks were running short of fuel, and the bombers were out of bombs.It was not a war that they had sought let alone planned for.
But for the invasion of the Soviet Union 2 weeks later Germany could have been in real trouble. They hadn't been long term planning an invasion.
We can say what we like about German expansion in Europe but remember what Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity say:
"Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Union!" "He said ..! He said that the worst thing in history was the demise of the Soviet Union!" "So, he must want all those territories back." "He's a maniac!" etc.
What Putin actually said was that the biggest >un-acknowledged tragedy< of the 20th century was the very sudden break up of the Soviet Union where 10's of millions of Russians found themselves suddenly outside Russian or Moscow Friendly territory.
Exactly what happened to millions of Germans after WWI.
Post WWI Germany was the smallest country German speakers had ever been forced into, and millions of Germans were isolated far outside her borders and facing discrimination - (Donbass anyone?)
Thats were the idea of Lebensraum came from - when Hitler became a serious politician he was looking for a means to re-unite and protect the German speaking peoples who had been scattered to places like Poland, Sudetenland, Schleswig-Holstein, Lithuania etc.
But in the case of Poland Hitler had wanted a peaceable political settlement. It was his generals who were pressuring for retribution and a more bullish response.
What Hitler wanted was
- a German Built motorway through the Polish Corridor
- and the return of the German city of Danzig.
Instead he was faced with the Bomberg massacres (perpetrated by Jewish commisars in Poland) which any ruler would have felt duty bound to stop and to avenge. As it was Hitler wanted a political solution and his Generals were pressuring him to act.
I looked it up a while back and (from memory) Germany had a standing professional army of 600,000 in 1939.
When the war in Poland reared its head, Germany through mobilisation and call ups swelled their ranks to circa 1.2 million men.
Britain had at least 2 Million, standing professional army. France had the biggest military in the Western World at around 2 million men.
Hitlers Germany was MASSIVELY outnumbered in 1939.
(Factor in the vast Red Army and the United States War Machine after 1941 and it gets even worse)
I know so many jews personally, who turn up to anti lockdown or vaccine freedom events, and whose line in reassurance is
"don't worry, good always wins! Hitler thought He Would Conquer the Whole World! But look what happened to him! Even the greatest tyranny can be defeated!" - well, yeees, but Hitler and the NSDAP had not been expecting a war to be sprung on them - and from the moment it was, just like Japan in the East, Germany was an underdog at a massive disadvantage.
General George C. Marshal, in his final report to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, noted that Hitler was in no way prepared for a long war. In fact, he was not even prepared for a war against England and France, let alone against the Soviet Union.
Colonel A. G. Texley, in an article in
Quartermaster Review, June 1948 said the same.
Thinking about it, the Germans were not the kind to plot a war of 'world domination' without at least having built up a pre eminent Navy first.
Dr Burton Klein published a book,
"Germany's Economic Preparation for War" (Cambridge, 1959), where he rejected the common accusation that Germany had a military economy entirely directed towards warfare:
"France and England each spent as much or more on armaments, and put together their spending on arms was much higher." (so much for the 'appeasement' spiel kids get in history lessons)
British historian AJP Taylor actually admitted much the same thing.
Hitlers and the NSDAP's real problem was the presence of Stalin's war machine and Red Army so close to their borders.
"Stalin had a total of 15 000 tanks, five times more than Hitler. He also had special A-tanks (Avtostradnye tanks), which would run on German motorways. Most of the 15 000 tanks were amphibian.
The Germans lacked heavy tanks. Germany had no more than six tank divisions. Berlin lost a third of its tanks. Hitler had a total of 3410 tanks, 210 of which lacked cannons. Not one of them was amphibian" (Viktor Suvorov, "Suicide", Moscow, 2000, p. 192, p. 299).
And with an army so poorly equipped,Hitler wanted to invade the world or the Soviet Union and create a fantastical "Lebensraum"?" Not likely.
Germany and the Soviet Union had an uneasy coexistence and yet, as we have just seen, Germany was a long way off being prepared for war.
The Bolshevik Soviet Union (still jew led under Stalin's "eminence grise" Lazar Kaganovich) was BRUTAL. far more brutal than either Germany or Japan.
The Soviets ruled Poland for not even 2 years leading up to Barbarossa June 1941.
What happened in that time?
Katyn Massacre - cold blooded and brutal.
21 months or so of Soviet rule and up to 750 000 people belonging to various ethnic minorities were killed.
1 250 000 of the former Polish citizens were deported to Siberia and Central Asia in February 1940.
The old, the young, children and the sick died of the cold, which reached minus 30-40 degrees below. The railways to the east were lined with frozen corpses. A new wave of deportations killed its victims by thirst in covered wagons.
Yet, Britain and France turned the other cheek - saw the Soviets do no wrong - and were quite fine to use the Soviets as their great "ally" against a Germany that was trying to save its citizens from brutal massacres on the other side of its border in Poland (again .. Donbass anyone?).
But sure, it was all about Poland ..somehow. Until the shooting started.. then they were left well alone; the Allies wanted Germany - not any defence of Poland.
During the "phoney war" it seems a lot of negotiation was regarding whether Germany would give in and change back to the Elites' preferred banking practises.
Once War Proper was joined Hitler put paid to the Mighty France and allowed the BEF to escape Dunkirk, although that was partly confused communications as the Germans had not expected such a cowardly British retreat exposing their erstwhile allies..
I had mates who became Royal Marines Officers in the late 80s and early 90s.
Back then a gent called Viktor Suvorov used to help the Marines with their classroom preparation regarding the Soviet Bloc and Comintern forces. Suvorov was highly regarded by the British military at that time, even in the early 90's.
Per Suvorov, the Red Army had planned an attack on German territory called Operation Thunder.
It was scheduled for 6 July 1941. The High Command of the Red Army had already on 21 June (the day before Hitler's attack), received orders to attack Romania on 6 July 1941. The commander of this operation was to have been Marshal Semyon Timoshenko. He was scheduled to go to Minsk on 22 June to prepare the attack, in which 4.4 million men were to have been used.
"On 17 May, Soviet authorities banned all foreign journalists and diplomats from visiting the western borders of the union. After Hess' flight to Scotland, Stalin postponed the plans for an attack. On 24 May, the Soviet military command decided on a new date for the attack, 6 July 1941. On 10 June orders were given for the Wehrmacht to begin the attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June."
The Germans beat the Soviets to the punch and attacked first.
"
Stalin intended to force his way through the capitalist countries like an icebreaker and occupy the territories held by Hitler, later to turn all of Europe over to communism", according to the books "The Icebreaker" (Moscow, 1992), "M Day" (Moscow, 1994) and "The Last Republic" (Moscow, 1996) all Suvorov.
This was the reason why Moscow's losses were so enormous - they were not expecting an attack on their offensive positions - 600 000 men lost in the first three weeks, 7615 tanks, 6233 fighter planes and 4423 artillery pieces.
Estonian schoolbooks already claim that Nazi Germany by attacking the Soviet Union, prevented a Soviet attack on Germany
(M. Laar, M. Tilk and E. Hergauk, "History for the 5th Grade", Tallinn, 1997, p. 190) and yet British and Western history books repeat the Banking Cabal's propaganda instead.
Hitler wanted a peaceful and political solution to his biggest problem. So many Germans were stuck outside of a heavily shrunken "Germany" after the Versailles treaty.
He wanted to reunite the German speaking peoples spanning Central Europe so that they could 'breathe again' and flourish.
Like a plant or a tree that has all its roots and leaves and branches tended by the same gardener and not one half healthy and the other half poisoned in a neighbours' with a wall running through the heart of the tree. That was his evolved understanding of lebensraum or a "living/breathing space" for the German people.
But the elites wanted Germany crushed. The rest is history.
Just some food for thought for those who believe that Hitler was an aggressor attacking and invading countries for no reason.
All his incursions were into territory that was right next door to a greatly shrunken Germany whose people lay the other side of an arbitrary, Versailles imposed border (Ruhr valley, Austria, Sudetenland, Schleswig Holstein, Poland etc.) and in the case of Poland his hand was forced by the outrages and atrocities being perpetrated against ethnic Germans in a neighbouring country.
So the idea of an aggressive, expansionist war leader is misplaced.
The idea that he opened up a two front war out of pig headedness is also mistaken.
Hitler and Germany were being surrounded and readied for slaughter. They put up an amazing fight, all things considered.
