The trouble is that every Hollywood war movie is saturated with nationalism, ideology and fanatacism. It's just our nationalism, ideology and...
The trouble is that Hitler wasn't clearly the evil man we all know now. in 1938 Hitler was seen as quite a succesful ruler who had united Germany...
Thanks for the clarification, Kai-Petri. In 1932 I do believe it was possible. One possibility was to try and undermine Hitler's control of the...
Excellent post, chocapic. The following sentence of yours ably summarizes my position: It is very difficult to determine the end result of...
Note that I am not stating that Germany would have won the war with just one or two changes to history. What I argue is that they could have and...
