He couldn't stop. Stalin was already planning to move west and the Soviets wouldn't have stopped in Poland.

And who wouldn't helped Germany in that case? The instigator and loser of WW1? France, UK & the US would've ignored it just like they ignored Germany taking back the Sudetenland.

The answer, then, is not to invade Poland, but fund the Polish military, using Poland as a shield. After Stalin exhausts his armies, then you attack, and the Polish greet you as a liberator. Hitler was bloodthirsty and wanted land, and no amount of historical revisionism will ever change that.

But wasn’t it Hitler who invited Stalin into his Polish plans once Britain made a peace deal with Poland? Hitler definitely started WWII. I don’t see how you can seriously say he didn’t.

Yo, can we not be the people defending Hitler? He committed mass genocide in the form of a production line.

I understand the strains the WW1 reparations put on Germany, the atrocities committed after the fact are not defensible.
