All the people adulating Hitler in this video. Who are they?



The Treaty of Versailles was too tough, but to blame it for the beginning of Hitler and the fanatical things he stood for is stupid. How many people were persecuted before WW2 by Germans? The night of the long knives.

The night of the broken glass.

Life Before the Holocaust.

Quote:
Schacht, among others, wanted to respond to those shortages by privatizing the rest of German industry and massively cut back on military spending. However, Hitler disagreed, and ordered Goering to have the German economy ready for war within four years - the so-called "Four Year Plan." The German economic model at this point wasn't at all sustainable, but rather than reverse course, Hitler chose to double down. He planned to deal with the shortages by eventually engaging in Raubwirtschaft - plundering nations he planned on conquering for anything of value.
There was even a plan to go to ready for war. The Four Year plan from 1936–1940 was all about building the army, navy and air force to a level that made it the best in Europe. No one does that if the intentions are peaceful.

Then German involvement in the Spanish Civil War. When the effectiveness of those Armed Forces were tested.

The guilt is for the British, American, French leaders who knew what Germany was doing prior to WW2 and ignored it.
