most people don't even know the history anymore. It's kind of sad.
a lot of the Nazi sympathizers I've met seem to think Hitler was a perfectly peaceful person and didn't want war at all.
Trouble with that line of logic is that he Annexed Austria and when Nevile Chamberlain gave up the Sudetenland in the Munich Agreement Hitler essentially agreed he would make no further territorial demands.
Strictly speaking in the most technical way possible he made no further demands.
He simply invaded and took over by force without even bothering to make demands after that.
He also Violated the Munich Agreement
Britain and France essentially acquiesced to Germany's rearmament (1935-1937), remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936), and annexation of Austria (March 1938). In September 1938, after signing away the Czech border regions, known as the Sudetenland, to Germany at the Munich conference, British and French leaders pressured France's ally, Czechoslovakia, to yield to Germany's demand for the incorporation of those regions. Despite Anglo-French guarantees of the integrity of rump Czechoslovakia, the Germans dismembered the Czechoslovak state in March 1939 in violation of the Munich agreement.
Britain and France responded by guaranteeing the integrity of the Polish state. Hitler responded by negotiating a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union in the summer of 1939.
The German-Soviet Pact of August 1939, which stated that Poland was to be partitioned between the two powers, enabled Germany to attack Poland without the fear of Soviet intervention.
So the Dude was a LIAR and only the most Naive of idiots actually believes that he wanted peace on the basis of his words alone.
On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The Polish army was defeated within weeks of the invasion.
From East Prussia and Germany in the north and Silesia and Slovakia in the south, German units, with more than 2,000 tanks and over 1,000 planes, broke through Polish defenses along the border and advanced on Warsaw in a massive encirclement attack. After heavy shelling and bombing, Warsaw surrendered to the Germans on September 27, 1939. Britain and France, standing by their guarantee of Poland's border, had declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939. The Soviet Union invaded eastern Poland on September 17, 1939. The demarcation line for the partition of German- and Soviet-occupied Poland was along the Bug River.
In October 1939, Germany directly annexed those former Polish territories along German's eastern border: West Prussia, Poznan, Upper Silesia, and the former Free City of Danzig. The remainder of German-occupied Poland (including the cities of Warsaw, Krakow, Radom, and Lublin) was organized as the so-called Generalgouvernement (General Government) under a civilian governor general, the Nazi party lawyer Hans Frank.
Nazi Germany occupied the remainder of Poland when it invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. Poland remained under German occupation until January 1945.
Basically Q.E.D. He violated the Munich Agreement, Didn't keep his word and if he didn't "make any further territorial demands" it's because he no longer subjected entire populations to an ultimatum before simply Taking what he wanted.
But unfortunately ask most people to know the history at that level and offf course not.
