Who started both World Wars?

One of the really interesting aspects of the Third Reich was that the economic recovery Hitler brought about was a complete sham. His economic advisers created a system of vouchers to pay for re-armament. As described in the history books, the technique sounds to me a lot like check-kiting. If Hitler hadn't started his ruthless expansion into surrounding nations when he did (and looted their treasuries), the economy would have collapsed and the Third Reich would have come to an ignominious, but peaceful, end.

Regarding the economic aspect to the Third Reich, have you read The Wages of Destruction, by Adam Tooze? Or has anyone here? I'm thinking of picking it up, as it seems quite an authoritative work on the subject, and some thoughts from the historians here would be greatly appreciated.

I had to read and re-read the wiki-page on cheque kiting and on float before I understood the mechanism (cheques here are first cleared by the paying bank before the money being transferred). An example of Nazi policies would be: having the workers pay weekly or monthly nickels and dimes to save for a Volkswagen, and actually using the money for Kübelwagen?

We've discussed before in this thread the reparations after WW1 and after 1870/1, but the exploitation that Nazi Germany committed in France dwarfs both: France had to pay 400 million Franc a day for the honour of being occupied.

Finance is also an oft overlooked aspect of the resistance. It's one thing to find a hiding place for Jews or resistance fighters, but you also need to find the money to pay for the foodstuff and for the forging of the rationing coupons. Wally van Hall, the son of a bankers' family, is the unsung hero of the Dutch resistance. He started collecting money from friends, who received hardly intelligible IOUs in return, and this grew out to a whole banking organization in itself. Later, loans to him were guaranteed by the London exile government, when the Dutch railways went on strike from September 1944 (this was meant to be in support of Market Garden) until the end of the war.

His biggest streak was, however, in robbing the Dutch National Bank. Rost van Tonningen was director of the Bank and he was willing to transfer the Dutch gold and value papers in the bank to the Nazis. Van Hall managed, with help of course of an inside contact, to swap the value papers for forgeries.

It is not difficult to overhear the pleasure Corsair has in the destruction of his mother civilization.

The Germans were outnumbered 7 to 1 by the Allies and never were looking for this war. The Americans and Russians were looking for this war at the cost of Europe. And the Anglos played an insignificant part in WW2, they just limited themselves to killing civilians, nothing else, and joined the party only when it was almost over (mid 1944), when the Russians had already won. As soon as the Anglo encounters real resistance, he runs; uh sorry, 'gloriously advances towards the Channel'. Seriously, the war between the Soviets and the Nazis was the core of WW2.
Sigh... Again, Negro American funny little crosses on the side of his plane. Nazi uber***** funny little crosses spread over the countryside... Would you like to talk about my other grandad who was in a tank?
But the times are changing, Corsair. Now it is you who is going to be destroyed. We have a united Europe (500 million), that is still whiter than America has ever been, plus a valuable trojan horse position within the Atlantic 'alliance' and we will never forget what you did to us. America is losing on all fronts: it has given Iraq to the Iranians, Europe is forced into energy dependence to the white christian nationalist Russians (a good thing from racial perspective), the US is facing an economic armageddon, and is controlled by a zionist faction who does not care about the fate of America. The US is invaded from all sides by hostile foreigners with an historic and racial axe to grind, an invasion encouraged by the anti-white zionist cabal that rules the joint. The European strategy must be to play the Russian card. Siberia alone constitutes 10% of the worlds land mass, a valuable asset in the new reality of global warming. The white race must sacrifice Australia and give it to the Chinese, Britain to the Islam, America will be torn apart as a result of ethnic strife, like it does everywhere and every time. We Europeans must be prepared to 'storm the opposite beach' once the dams start to break and participate in the coming land grab and secure land for our cousins, who will be simply recolonized by us Europeans. The coming zionist induced war of the US against Iran will be the straw that will break the camels back.
You really don't see? Sad... Ok let me explain.

Look at my avatar. See the groom kissing his bride? That's me. She is a relative of Adolph Eichmann. That's right... my ancestors killed major members of the master race and I'm nailing a decendant. Also there are many more like me. Face it people like you had your shot and failed. Mixed race people like me are the future. "Race" will die and people will weep. Never seeing the truth.

The laugh is on you considering your mighty Germans and the cowardly Anglo's were duking it out mono on mono for 3 days less than a year, and you still could not beat them

Can I just say that you make me proud to be a member of the same species as you?

You have no millenia old history to fall back upon, unlike the Dutch, Germans and Russians. You are a sort of white mulatto's. Maybe that is what Dolfie meant.

Just to be sure, you have a link to where Dolfie said that America was 'mongrelized'?

Did you know that the white Dutch gene pool shares a higher percentage of common genes with the black Ugandan gene pool that you share with your own mother?

Did you know that as recently as 4000 years ago, there likely may have lived a man in south-east Asia who is an ancestor to every human being on earth today - that includes Europeans, central Africans, Australian aborigines and South American Indios?

Did you know that the entire human gene pool has very very little diversity, compared for example with thta of chimps?

Did you know that is near to impossible to identify a Jew as a Jew by his or her DNA? There simply is no such thing as a Jewish race.
And there is no such thing as a Germanic race or whatever you wish to imagine. There is no such thing as a Russian or Slavic race. All there is is some variation in gene frequency. This means, that a somewhat larger proportion of population A then of population B carries a gene or set of genes. However, you will find every gene in every population, and you will find in every population individuals who do not possess a certain gene (unless it is something so essential that the individual could not live without. If you miss the gene that makes a brain, you don't live).

Yes,we wiped the floor with Nein 11's heroes.

I'll bet that Nein 11 gives that one a wide berth.

Good book but be warned: Tooze assumes the reader has a decent basic grounding in economics. If you don't you will soon be adrift since he uses a lot of technical economic terms and ideas.
 
More like a Charlie Chaplin wannabe.

No matter what single book your subscribe to, focusing on the conclusions of one man is a recipe for disaster. Nietzsche wasn't a god. He said a number of interesting things but he's not always right.

He ended his days in the nuthouse,didn't he?
