Churchill and Hitler both saw many things about the war in common. They both knew it would be a hard fought battle and a struggle. They both agreed that Germany was very powerful. Now the fact they didn’t both agree on, which no one ever agrees on in war, is who is on the morale side. Hitler thought he was right and Churchill thought he was a madman. Churchill thought that Hitler was being unfair by breaking the treaty, but Hitler saw the treaty as unfair in the first place.

Most people weren’t threatened by Germany probably because of World War I. Germany was defeated then, and they will be now. Many people were also naive to the actual size of the German Army. People assumed that Germany had kept its word in the treaty of Versailles, keeping its men down, and not acquiring an air force. We know this was not the case.

Churchill was right about everything, he knew Hitler was no fool, and wouldn’t invade Poland without sufficient forces to fight of Poland’s Big Brothers. Churchill refused to underestimate the power of the Nazis, but really I don’t think even he could see them for the power they truly had.

Although not underestimating the Germans Churchill dint get that confused with respecting them, he saw them as less then the English, much like Hitler’s opinions on other races. Churchill thought the Germans were being foolish in their demands, but he didn’t see the determination in the faces of the men willing to fight and die for Germany, and Hitler.

Once again we are going into a world war with both sides assured of victory, and this one is truly impossible to call. If the countries wish to defeat Germany they will have to band together, and stand up against Germany. One thing is for sure the Germans weren’t prepared to accept the terms of the treaty any long, and were willing to fight against it holocaust timeline.

Churchill is a refreshing reminder that not everyone is to pig headed to see what the truth in something really is. Thanks God there are people who can think for themselves.

Things here in Germany are growing worse by the day.  The Nazi’s hate propaganda, and meaningless acts of violence are horrifying, and what’s worse, their ranks are swelling steadily by the day.

Today I witnessed a speech by a man by the name of Hitler.  It was truly horrifying.  There were thousands of people congregating and so I decided I’d go see just what was happening.  As it turns out I had stumbled in on a Nazi rally, where the man I mentioned, Hitler, was going to speak.  At first it was fairly peaceful.  Hitler spoke some on his 25-point program.

The 25-point program is something Hitler is trying to implement in Germany, basically striping foreigners and Jewish people of many of their freedoms.  Saying that no person not of German blood can be considered a member of the state.  This accordingly takes away basic necessities.  For example things like food, in times of famine will not be given to foreigners or Jewish people.

After Hitler had finished this he grew a little more passionate when he got on the topic of the war.  He said it was a disgrace to Germany, and pinned the blame for the loss on the non-patriotic nature of the Jewish people.  He said had they fought along side of the Germans instead of aiding the enemy victory would have been inevitable.  I later asked around and no one could think of any Jewish people who had aided the enemy, the people I asked said they just knew the Jewish people did.

The roar of the mass of people grew almost deafening when Hitler began to scream about how the Jewish people hated the Germans and how they were all plotting behind the backs of the people of Germany.  He called on the people to try to “convince” the Jewish people to aid the land that they were being “allowed” to live in by any means necessary holocaust dates.  Everyone was yelling and screaming, chanting Hitler’s name over and over.  I felt quite fortunate to escape with my life.

Things in Germany grow worse by the day and if I had the money I would return home immediately.  I fear soon there will be complete chaos and they will sweep through the towns killing anyone not of “true German blood” that they can find.  This frightens me immensely.

In Love,

2) The German Government was still attempting to implement a “Revolution from Above”

3) Germany could have improved it’s position in the war making negotiations more fair for the people of Germany

4) It was a deemed a “necessary risk” at the time by the German government

Against:

1) The German government waited too long, effectively killing the economy of Germany

2) The German government waited until they had to surrender, not until it was in the best interest of Germany to do so

3) If the German government had entered negotiations earlier they could have received a better deal from the Allies
