France had been tormenting Germany since well before WW1.

Operation Barbarossa, the Soviet Union was also getting ready to invade Germany, Hitler just beat them to the punch. Check out the White Wars, where America invaded Russia/USSR. The Russians weren't altar boys, they were invading as much of Europe as they could. Ever hear of Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, myfingersaregettingtired?

Botching the Battle of Britain??? WTF, where is your head???

Hitler declared war on America because Roosevelt/America was supplying Britain with war materiel and helping the USSR, among other things. Further, Germany honored her treaty obligations with Japan, as the US honored her treaty obligations with other belligerents. The only reason that Britain attacked Germany was because of their treaty with Poland. That, and Churchill's long standing animosity against Germany.

Hitler's megalomania was non-existant, just made up as part of the propaganda of the Allies. Same as people always call The Donald crazy, stupid, crooked, etc...

Grab a History book. Read same. Actually, the facts are usually there, even in ones with a bias agains Hitler. (Which they all are). When you see an issue that you think makes Hitler a jerk, do research on it.

Look up fuhrerprinzip. Hitler word was above all, he mismanaged his airforce, opened a two front war against his generals advice. Hitler destroyed germany through his actions. Why are you implying i dont know about soviet crimes? Im well aware and yet you dont see me writing posts slavering over stalin. You need to read a book. I recommend one of those kids books that have more pictures than words about all the cool guns and stuff, thats where my interest started when i was 10. If reading is too boring may i also suggest the excellent documentary series World at War.

You are too busy throwing too many issues in your first sentence, let alone the rest of the paragraph! Holy moses, do you even know what your point is???

You are tedious. But, actually, I'll address your very first issue: fuhrerprinzip. I don't need to look it up, because I know what it is, as you do not. Oh, I'm not saying you didn't look it up in some dictionary; I'm saying you don't understand it.

Don't try to engage me, you are too ill-equipped. Try some mental Lend-Lease program.

Im not even sure what your argument is? That hitler was just a kind soul who only had his countrys best interest at heart? Actually forget the germans, I have to unironically ask are you even american? Hitlers actions and his allies actions led to the deaths of over 300,000 americans, why are you making excuses for him?

Knock it off, Jughead.

My argument is that we need to consider ALL of the facts; see who really caused the war, etc... Santayana quote and all that. If we have a clear understanding of what it is that we are discussing, it helps us use those facts in forming a better future policy.
