with his thousands of new tanks and planes
so to sum up. it was all britains fault, staling would have stabbed hitler in the back if not hitler had stabbed stalin in the back first... just like with the night of the long knives and hitler wasn't a moron
Of course it wasn't all Britain's fault
it's interesting you know stalin's plans
France did fall faster then Norway. and because of the fall of France, UK had to pull out of norway where they was pushing the Germans back to go and save their allies in France.
as I said, Hitler was too rash and impatient but certainly not a moron
Churchill was no moron either
He had to be, because he planned his economy out, and factories were already converting to the next stage
but it's not like he had any intention of ending the war when he could have in the spring and summer of 1940
And the Invasion was taking to much
can I have the TL : DR version please 😛
@TwinVickers I don't claim to have some deep personal insight into Stalin's mind, this is not hidden knowledge, it's all out there
Churchill had no power in 1940. He was part of the War Cabinet, mostly to shut him up.
Well until May
He was made PM on May 10th
But war was already underway
Both himself and the ministers before him had ample chances to not only end the war but find a settlement with Poland before it had even started
the conclusion is that WW2 was not some heroic struggle against evil but a tragedy perhaps bigger than WW1 that should've never happened in the first place
and it lead us right where we are today
The only one before him could was Chamberlin, and after making "Deals" with the Rhine, and Czech, Hitler knew he could walk all over him
thinking that the empire must be out there, somewhere
it's just been misplaced
And the Germans still desire a Reich
^
Russians are trying to rebuild the Bloc (minus Communism)
Of course they did, and?
Every Nation desires to be back to how they were in their hight
What is your claim of righteousness here when the allies let all of Eastern Europe to the Soviets after 1945
Welcome to humanity
We couldn't take it from them, after all they pushed the Nazies out of it
When Poland didn't even exist in 1940, Britain wargoal was finished
and it had no chance to peace-out with Germany on her terms had it not brought in the United States
It was also part of the agreement to get Soviet Aid in the Pacific Theater
under a president which just so happened to dislike both Germany and the Empire
Eh Multiple Presidents had a hand in that. And you have to thank Japan really
Before Pearl, US wasn't going to go to war
Anyways I've got to get going but at least this talk has been more civilized here than I expected
The US embargoed Japanese oil and intentionally placed its entire pacific fleet on Pearl Harbor
It's not squeaky clean either
nobody was
