History / How different would WW2 turned out if Poland accepted Hitler's offer [219]

Hitler attacked the wrong side of Europe. He should have gone all out and the wipe the British out.

Hitler spared British forces numerous times in battle. In the end he wanted Britain (white brother) to join him.

Ultimately Poland was the domino. If Poles accept Hitler's offer, England/France/USA don't come to the rescue of Soviet and/or Jews. Hitler creates an empire in Central & Eastern/Soviet Europe.

You think the USA comes to the rescue of the Soviets?

With Russia under his control and every country in the region except France. There is no point of Hitler going into West Europe. I think he stops at controlling the entire Central/East.

Another point. Winners write the history:

Why isn't Stalin viewed in the same regard as Hitler when he killed more/everyone. He didn't even draw lines.

Why wasn't USA held accountable for dropping the 2 atomic bombs OR their death camps of 1.5 Million Germans who were starved to death?

If we had joined the Nazis. They win the War and the Holocaust is a little piece of history just like the Holodomor .

Russia defended itself fine. That's why I put an and between England/Poland .......and Russia/France.

So your argument tends to hint that Polska should have sided with it's neighbor not France and some country on the other side of Europe

Poland refused the demands and joined France, bound by the 1921 treaty, and England, bound to a hasty 1939 treaty, to resist German expansion.

It's shocking how I know you are correct and yet I can't find a single link to this on my American google. It's crazy. People rewriting history

You got anything at all to back that claim?

- What's more than nothing? Send in fighter planes, bomber, significant amount of supplies. Something, anything?

- The assumption is that Poland-Germany pact taking over Russia keeps Hitler from moving West. Pat Buchanan actually wrote some interesting stuff on the subject

buchanan.org/blog/did-hitler-want-war-2068

"Why did Warsaw not negotiate with Berlin, which was hinting at an offer of compensatory territory in Slovakia? Because the Poles had a war guarantee from Britain that, should Germany attack, Britain and her empire would come to Poland's rescue.

But where is the evidence that Adolf Hitler, whose victims as of March 1939 were a fraction of Gen. Pinochet's, or Fidel Castro's, was out to conquer the world?

But if Hitler was out to conquer the world - Britain, Africa, the Middle East, the United States, Canada, South America, India, Asia, Australia - why did he spend three years building that hugely expensive Siegfried Line to protect Germany from France? Why did he start the war with no surface fleet, no troop transports and only 29 oceangoing submarines? How do you conquer the world with a navy that can't get out of the Baltic Sea?

If Hitler wanted the world, why did he not build strategic bombers, instead of two-engine Dorniers and Heinkels that could not even reach Britain from Germany?

Why did he let the British army go at Dunkirk?

Why did he offer the British peace, twice, after Poland fell, and again after France fell?

Why, when Paris fell, did Hitler not demand the French fleet, as the Allies demanded and got the Kaiser's fleet? Why did he not demand bases in French-controlled Syria to attack Suez? Why did he beg Benito Mussolini not to attack Greece?

Because Hitler wanted to end the war in 1940, almost two years before the trains began to roll to the camps."

History / How different would WW2 turned out if Poland accepted Hitler's offer [219]

Hitler offered Poland deals and hoped for an alliance, much like the one he had with Hungary, Italy, Spain, Slovakia, Japan and countless others

At the time of Hitler's offer, Poland faced 3 options
A) Stay neutral. Not possible
B) Join Germany
C) Say no and rely on France & England

History has shown that Poland took the bloodiest route. But was it the right decision?

Considering how France and England did little to nothing following Germany's attack. Furthermore how Poland was yet again lied to during the War by it's Western allies which ultimately led to 40 years of Soviet control anyway, would have joining Hitler been any worse?

A German - Poland alliance would have taken over Russia, which Stalin feared. Adding Japan into the mix would have only strengthen an Eastern powerhouse.

Hindsight Pearl Harbor doesn't happen and neither would the need for invasion of France/England. Instead we would see a legitimate Western & Eastern Europe.

Ultimately, Polands ''foolish'' decision spared millions of Jewish lives. As an alliance would have meant every Jew in Central & Eastern Europe would have been sent to work/perish in the Russian gulags, now under German control.
