A Minor Mystery Of WWII

[Weatherman2020]

And now for a medial review.

1. Why did Rudolph Hess fly to Scotland? To pursue either a peace treaty between Enland and Germany, or at least a non-agression treaty.


2. Did Hitler authorize the trip, or had Hess gone insane? One cannot forget either that Hitler was in charge of everything that took place in the Reich, or that he knew it would be suicide to enter a two-front war.


3. What was it that made Hitler believe he had a chance to co-opt Britain?
And this is the element that is under-reported.

There was nearly as strong an element of anti-Semitism in Britain as there was in Germany.

4. Were Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson Nazi Sympathizers?​

Having a friendly relationship with Adolf Hitler, many speculated that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were involved in a plot to overthrow the British crown during World War II.

5. British archives hiding royal family’s links to anti-Semitism in 1930s, says historian​

Amid row over 7-year-old Elizabeth’s ‘Nazi salute,’ German historian Karina Urbach says documentation on monarchy’s connections to Hitler is being withheld, may well have been destroyed​

6. "Significant Jewish migration from Eastern Europe in the years prior to World War I saw some antisemitic opposition, which would result in increasingly restrictive immigration laws. An emerging fascist movement in the 1930s, which launched antisemitic campaigns, was accompanied by a government policy of restricting the inflow of Jewish refugees from Nazi controlled territories. Notwithstanding sympathy for the Jews following the Holocaust, immigration controls to Mandatory Palestine were maintained, while Zionist attacks on British forces in Palestine caused some resentment and would trigger anti-Jewish riots in 1947."

And, of course the same for FDR.

In all fairness 1933 Germany was only at a crossroads. Churchill was even quoted as saying they were at a crossroads around that time. Germany was on the upswing and Germans living better. So a 7 year old doing the salute at that time means nothing.

I don't know what point you are trying to make. It is well known that the American intelligencia were progressive as hell. They loved mussolini, and praised Stalins "strength" when he murdered millions during collectivization.

The American progressive movement has ALWAYS been fascist.

So what are you meandering toward?

How did you get through school by using the words "total rubbish" in defense of a political argument? Go for it Picaro , defend your political beliefs.

It was in the papers then, whitehall.

FDR was elected 4 times, by the survivors of the Republican caused Great Depression and the WW II generation. Say it, man! lol

He wasn't elected by Stalin, he wasn't elected by commies, he wasn't elected by Chinese, he was elected by Americans. Your claim he prolonged the Depression is so silly and false you have to lie about it all the time. The fact is his election almost immediately started it on the rise, and by 1937 GDP was back to 1920's levels and rising, with a small slump in 1937-1938 over the Supreme Court battles, then back to rising again. That was before 'WW II spending'.

4 times, he was elected 4 times. Say it loud. lol

1935 t0 1938 was Hitler's heyday re the German economy, the construction of the Autobahn being his trophy project. After that the economy started slipping badly and the desperation and demonizations of 'outsiders' began in earnest along with the invasions..

How do you keep from gagging every time you trash FDR with your patently false nonsense?

 

[Picaro]

Herbert Hoover was a 'Progressive' too, something the right studiously avoids acknowledging. So was Teddy Roosevelt. It's a myth that only Democrats were progressives then.

 

[Picaro]

There was no Stalin plan to march west that's just Nazi apologist propaganda to try and justify the brutal Barbarossa invasion, as for Hess there were those in Britain on the Conservative right who thought we were on the wrong side in WW2 some were even living in Germany working for the Nazis at least one was executed after the war, i tend to think Hitler gave a green light to Hess who was thought to have been in contact with some of the elite in Britain who had sympathy for the Nazi cause, we will probably never know.

lol more rubbish. Stalin had massed his entire Army on the western borders, prepping for an invasion. He had abandoned building defenses in depth in favor of an offensive policy against Germany. You're even more dishonest than Whitehall.
