Are we now contending that Hitler was better than Stalin because Stalin killed innocent people first?
Really?
Yes, indeed.
We can safely assume that Wroclaw and Darth Rotor are not going to contradict my claim that Dolfie killed merely hundreds before the war in Poland where Stalin had already killed millions. So not in a war situation, but simply slaughter amongst his own people.
But relax, suggests Wroclaw, Dolfie made good on his 'backlog of evil' big time after 1939, suggesting that people killed in a war are somehow morally equivalent to slaughtering internal opposition.
The point is that the war in Western-Europe and Barbarossa were forced upon Germany via the war declarations and subsequent invasion of Norway by France and Britain. And to a lesser extent you can say the same about the invasion of Poland that was primarily triggered by the persecution of the Germans in Poland, where Danzig and the corridor where of secondary importance.
Then of course we have the holo tale, kindly and unselfishly investigated by our noble city nuking and mass raping alllies after some thorough testicle kicking.
Here the main players in WW2 and their motivations:
- The
USSR had been preparing for and seeking war since the early days of the emergence of that rotten system. They exploited the Danzig situation by granting the Germans the Non-Agression Pact. The secret annex of dividing Eastern-Europe in 'spheres of influence' was their idea and condition alone. Stalin signed the pact knowing fulll well that this would cause war between Germany and Britain.
-
America was a rising power in those days. The
Jewish dominated Roosevelt government and their allies in the media had already
declared war on Germany in 1933 after the Germans started to persecute the Jews because the Germans did not want the same desastrous fate as the Russians had undergone under the Jewish dominated Bolshevik revolution.
-
France and
Britain still had the same Versailles attitude towards Germany and were not willing to accept the mere existence of a dominant new power in Europe that outperformed them on world markets. They were still thinking in classic European balance-of-power terms and overlooked that there were two new very big kids on the block: the US and USSR, who smilingly observed what happened in Europe and both decided to exploit it.
-
Germany had the weakest long term strategic cards and had little other objectives than unite all Germans in one state. Danzig and the corridor was the last missing item on Hitler's todo list. The negotiations that took place in August 1939 were sincere from German perspective in that Hitler wanted to avoid war. But the Poles had no incentive to come to an agreement as they had (empty) assurances in their pockets from Britain, France and the US that they would come to their aid in case of a German attack. But the allies were not interested in Poland and merely used the Poles as a way to get into war with Germany. And the alllies got their way at the cost of Germany, Europe and the European empires, including that of Britain.
The war was wanted most in America. It were they who pushed Chamberlain in the war-garantee. The war was also wanted in the USSR as a way to bolshevize the entire European continent. Stalin only partly succeeded in his aims and was not really happy with the results. The big winner was the US. They had all the resources, starting with the Middle-East. They had the dollar as a world currency. They had minimal losses and soft-colonized the valuable part of Europe. They had imposed the holo-tale upon the world with which we Europeans are morally colonized until this day.
