       sources and still need to be used carefully. And in the case of
       the Table Talks, it’s clear that part of it was written at the
       time. So clearly, these memoirs are better than other memoirs
       out there, because parts of them are based on notes taken at the

       the disputed section at the bottom:

       July 1941 - 30 November 1944), made under the supervision of

       (1953). The source material is generally accepted as reliable;
       the accuracy and reliability of the English translation is often

       Hitler's plan to attack Europe, written by Hermann Rauschning,

       moment pretend to believe that this degenerate Jewish democracy
       has any more vitality than France or the United States. It will
       be my mission to see that at least an effort is made to inherit
       this disintegrating empire peacefully, so that conflict can be
       avoided entirely. But I shall not shrink from war with Britain
       if it is necessary. Where Napoleon failed, I shall succeed.
       Today there is no such thing as an island. I shall land on the
       shores of Britain. I shall destroy her towns from the mainland.
       Britain does not yet know how vulnerable she is today."

       we need the French coast. We need Flanders and Holland. Above
       all we need Sweden. We must become a colonial power. We must
       have a sea power equal to that of Britain. The material basis
       for independence grows with the increasing demands of technique
       and armaments. We cannot, like Bismarck, limit ourselves to
       national aims. We must rule Europe or fall apart as a nation,
       fall back into the chaos of small states. Now do you understand

       element, the firm foundation of our power. Then an Eastern
       alliance: Poland, the Baltic states, Hungary, the Balkan states,
       the Ukraine, the Volga basin, Georgia. An alliance, but not of
       equal partners; it will be an alliance of vassal states, with no
       army, no separate policy, no separate economy. I have no
       intention of making concessions on sentimental grounds, such as
       re-establishing Hungary, for example. I make no distinction
       between friends and enemies. The day of small states is past, in
       the west as well. I shall have a Western Union too, of Holland,
       Flanders, Northern France, and a Northern Union of Denmark,
       Sweden and Norway."

       imagination ranged over the entire world. He would attack
       Britain at all its weakest points, India no less than Canada. He
       planned the occupation of Sweden as well as Holland. The latter
       country, in particular, seemed to him valuable jumping-off
       ground for air and underwater attacks on England.

       attack. The day of Britain's might at sea is past. Aircraft and
       the U-boat have turned surface fleets into the obsolete
       playthings of the wealthy democracies. They are no longer a
       serious weapon in decisive warfare."

       Anyone who acknowledged such a thing was merely accepting — or
       affirming — the false premise of the NSDAP and supporting its
       agenda. Until 1933, and for at least a century prior, German
       Jews were fully German and nothing else. Their Jewish ancestry
       was simply a testament to the fact that Jews and Germans had
       lived and worked side by side, without friction, in all aspects
       of life.

       southern Bavarians, or Rhinelanders and Bavarians.

       Actually, there was a debate with two sides, one (Nietzschean)
       which considered Jews superior:

       > “The final treaty provisions gave Poland more than it should
       have received, and more than it should have requested. Most of
       West Prussia, which had a German majority according to the last
       census, was handed over to Poland without a plebiscite. Later,
       the richest industrial part of Upper Silesia was also given to
       Poland, even though Poland had lost the vote there. The
       establishment of a League of Nations protectorate for the German
       national community in Danzig was a disastrous move; a free port
       for Poland in Danzig under German control would have been far
       fairer. The main errors of the treaty included the creation of
       the Corridor, the so-called Free City of Danzig, and the
       transfer of parts of Upper Silesia to Poland. These errors were
       made to Poland’s benefit and Germany’s detriment—but they
       ultimately harmed both Poland and Germany. Lasting peace in the
       German-Polish border region was impossible under these
       conditions.”

       it was a dumb idea to invade, destroy, and enslave Poland
       because you couldn’t swim, or fly over, or drive through that
       territory. And before you argue that Poland wouldn’t
       negotiate—maybe not in 1939—but Hitler believed in autarky. He

       The problem is that both Putin and Hoggan twist the facts to
       push their narrative. Again, on page 25 of his book, Hoggan
       presents his opinion that during the Weimar years, Poland and
       Germany were in constant conflict, mentioning a German-Polish
       trade war since 1925. But he fails to mention who started it...
       because that would contradict his narrative that ‘Poland was the
       aggressor’. It turns out that Germany was the one who
       ‘aggressively’ initiated the trade war in 1925 as a way to
       economically cripple Poland.
       >
       > Perhaps that’s why, from 1926, the Defensive Alliance between
       Poland and Romania was expanded to cover aggression from both
       the West and the East. The only reason the 1921 alliance wasn’t
       aimed westward was because Poland didn’t want to get dragged
       into a Balkan war involving Romania. Clearly, Poland did not
       want to go to war, and its actions were defensive—not
       aggressive. Yet the way Hoggan writes it suggests Poland was
       aggressively plotting against both the Soviets and the Germans.
       In reality, Poland was caught between a rock and a hard place
       and had to act defensively to survive. But it seems that when
       Poland acts defensively, Hoggan calls it aggression.”

       Poland and Poland responded in ways meant to keep Germany in
       check. No—apparently, Poland proactively acted against Germany
       to keep it powerless, because Poland is somehow the ‘aggressor’
       in this relationship. Do you see how the language is twisted
       here? And remember, all these points come from just one page of
       Hoggan’s book. That means multiple distortions in just a single
       page. This book is 350 pages long. And it goes on like this.
       Distortion after distortion, half-truth after half-truth, lie
       after lie, page after page. I’ve already discussed Hoggan’s
       views on the Hossbach Memorandum in a previous 50-minute

       book.

       to expand eastward because of its own ideology. Hitler made it
       very clear in Mein Kampf that only an eastward expansion policy
       would solve their ‘land’ crisis (Lebensraum). But also, because
       they were trying to create a socialist-style economy, Germany’s
       economy was collapsing. As Götz Aly explains in Hitler’s
       Beneficiaries, if Germany hadn’t conquered Austria,
       Czechoslovakia, and Poland when it did, it would’ve faced a real
       economic crisis.
       >
       > Their only solution was to go to war, plunder Europe, and
       export their financial problems abroad. And that’s crucial to
       remember—while Putin and Hoggan try to blame Poland, in reality,
       it was Germany that was forced into war by its own ideology and
       economic desperation. Poland may have made mistakes (as did the
       Soviets and the Western powers), but Hitler and the Nazis were
       ultimately the ones who wanted war.”

       White Nationalists and Neo-Nazis have always portrayed a
       historical narrative in which Hitler was a peacekeeper. This
       makes no sense, given that Hitler was a socialist and thought to
       reject pacifism, and reject Western colonialism.

       Yeah, that's true. Still, authors like Stolfi, Tedor, Taylor,
       and Schultze-Rhonhof can't be ignored or discredited because
       they use primary German-language sources in their books
       discussing the origins of WWII. Conversely, this 'historian'
       you've been quoting does not.

       are more important than all this racial propaganda. Furthermore,
       I was never so close to the party. I was more in the state
       section. Personally I would never have allowed the party to have
       so much influence on the state. There were two groups. One
       espoused the theory that the party should rule the state. The
       second felt that the state should govern the party. I was for
       the second idea."

       --- Quote ---
       > The society which was created after the NSDAP achieved power
       was in many ways a compromise. Hitler himself admitted (to Leon
       Degrelle among others) that it would be the next generation -
       the Hitler Youth generation - which would create a genuine
       National-Socialist society. Organizations such as the SS and the
       Hitler Youth were steps toward the creation of such a National
       Socialist society, and it was these organizations which
       implemented the ideal of personal honour, and respect for
       others, of whatever race and culture. As Hitler and his true
       followers, such as Rudolf Hess, matured in understanding, so too
       did National-Socialism. National-Socialism was not born, fully
       developed and fully-understood, in the early years of the NSDAP
       - it developed slowly, over several decades. Thus, as Hitler
       admitted, Mein Kampf was never intended to be some kind of bible
       of National-Socialism: it was the product of its time and while
       most of the underlying principles of National-Socialism were
       laid down in that book, some principles were not. What was
       written was subject to change, to revision, as
       National-Socialism itself developed. - David Myatt, March 2011
