>>>Like your Dad, he and his buddies surrendered to a US unit. They were terrified of the Russians, but also of the French.

>>All very sad. Lets not forget that while Hitler did stomp into Czechoslovakia and then (when nothing happened) into Poland, that was at the opposite end of Europe from Britain and France whose only involvement was by treaty. Ribbentrop was the British expert who repeatedly advised that Britain would not go to war for Poland and Chamberlain was on record doubting that the Great Britain populace and empire could survive another war. Nevertheless France and Britain declared war on Germany and the Western world went crazy.

>Actually it was a lot more complicated than that. Japan, China, Russia, Italy, Austria and North Africa were all strategic and commercial factors and Hitler put them all into play early in the game.
>At the rate he was building his armaments and Navy, if unchecked, he could have made the game unwinnable for Britain.

>In Mein Kampf Hitler referred to Britain as a valued ally and spoke admiringly about the US, but he made no bones about his intention to invade Russia and hinted about France.

Read the part where this template of an arian comes out with his true targets. The looser recieved the first acts of friendship ever in the trenches of WWI (as even the rats gets a hug) and his primary goal was to share this experience with anybody else. It was also the idea to make germany superior or to eradicate it. We had some luck.

For the british thy where right. The empire was lost.
Wasn't it Churchill who explains that there where several moments where it was very critical and if a certain move would have gone longer for a short time they would have lost? We are very lucky this austrian painter was not the brightest candle under this sun. Gifted actor maybe.
Remember that the ME262, the jet fighter, was ready at '41. The Führer was the one to have forced to made it a bomber - what creates a huge delay. Not that I like to have our cities bombed (I only need to look out at the window next to my comp to see a church only partial rebuild, clearly showing the marks) but it could have been worst.

Whatever you here about germans armaments creation - it was complete chaos. The nazis simply have done a broad system where everybody and his son have build weapons on there own and sold it. Endless mix up of weapons. This created a high rate to create army but it was not sustainable.
But possibly you have not the right idea about the madness of those idiots. You must imagine that above anything else there reigned the will to kill the so called minors (jews, gippsies, polish [no precedence, not complete]). As all was wrecked, the war clearly lost, there was still power to proceede with this. You must read transport statistics to understand the madness. Also note that all the stuff build after '39 was mainly done on slaves work. Slaves set up to work to death. The killing was more important then to squeeze out working force.

There is nothing good on this idiots. There is nothing to admire.
