Valerianus:”…the Germans while secretly mobilizing the largest military force in human history to make a surprise attack on the exhausted European powers…”

Excuse me. In 1939 the German army was far away from being the largest military force in human history. In fact the weak numerical strength was one of the reasons it was strongly underestimated by its foes.

The invasion of Poland did hardly come as a surprise since Polish chauvinists did provoke the Germans already for a very long time.

The works of Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof like “Der Krieg der viele Vaeter hatte” would be a good reading, before debating anything relating to World War II.

I wish Scott that you would bring even more scholars and writers on to discuss WW1–it is I think the pivotal event in world history in the last 100 years-with the possible exception of the development of nuclear weapons–I am puzzled by your selective skepticism with government–Wilson and Roosevelt may well have manueverd (?) us into WW1 and 2–there was government malefeasance and coverup in Waco and OK City Bombing–but you seem to be in the Noam Chomsky, Peter Lance, Wayne Barrett camp when it comes to the political assassinations of the 1960's and on 911–the lone nut and Al Qadi did it official version.

So why is that?

While some of Pat Buchanan's views are way out in left field, you have to hand it to him that he is a sound scholar. His book was meticulously researched and the arguments he puts forth have merit. A previous book of his, on the issue of America: Empire or Republic", was equally well researched and highly educaitonal, even for those who do not always agree with his views. We also have to incorporate another issue. Pat being of Irish decent, reflects a broader attitude among Irish of his generation that definitely was anti-Brittain and pro-Germany, even before WW'II. I for one have learned a lot from his writings and am in very large part in agreement with the arguments he puts forth.

So "Without american help they could not make any single tank" That means that actually it was the americans that made the T34 for the russians…. (wonder why they didn't use it themselves, instead of those shermans and grants)
And Poland … a stronger army than Russia at the time – wow !!! I did not know this !!!
You, sir, should make a movie to enlighten the benighted masses !!! It would be entertaining !!!

If America does not join in WWII, the Germans get the atomic bomb first and the consequences are that there is not a jew left in the world and the rest are slaves. And remember, it was Hitler that declared war in the United States. What were we supposed to do with that?

You are right Bankotsu.

Consider what happened after Nazi Germany was defeated … VERY substantially by the Red Army, at FAR more cost than the other allies against German militarism.

We will never know what might have happened if FDR had lived to help peace after WW2, so all we have to go on is such facts as that the "Truman Doctrine" immediately turned the Soviet Union into "the enemy" and threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes.

I am well aware of Soviet defects – especially under Stalin – but it was Washington which created the "Cold War" and everything since which has caused conflict during my lifetime – approaching 70 years.

It never ends, does it!! The determination to destroy the USSR … more recently Vietnam, Iraq, Iran and so on.

700+ military bases around the world. CIA assassination squads. Name it and Washington does it, true terrorist style.

Makes me sick
