Further, had Hitler succeeded against Britain, he would have been free to conquer the Middle East and... Africa!
And what would have been the consequence of that? More favorable treatment than Britain provided?
I doubt it.
Germany and Russia had signed a non-aggression pact in ‘41. If England had fallen, might that pact have survived a little longer? If Germany and Russia divided Poland, might they have done the same to Africa.
And what would have been the consequence of that?
The participants at this “discussion” are more racist than Churchill ever was. But no one will ever say that publicly.
The leftists are getting to be as racist as Hitler was, the more and more they claim to be “anti-racist.” Really Orwellian.
Not completely. He did want to secure the oil but he was wary of the Turks.
In addition he didn't want sub-Saharan Africa
More favorable treatment than Britain provided? - strangely enough, if he HAD somehow won over britain in 1940, then there wouldn't have been a final solution of murder. Hitler would have conquered the lands of israel and "dumped" all of europe's Jewry there. He wanted them out. The final solution was because there weren't any other solutions for him to get rid of the Jews -- Remember the MS St Louis fiasco?
During the build-up to World War II, the Motorschiff St. Louis was a German ocean liner which carried more than 900 Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in 1939 intending to escape anti-Semitic persecution. The refugees tried to disembark in Cuba but were denied permission to land.
The captain, Gustav Schröder, went to the United States and Canada, trying to find a nation to take the Jews in, but both nations refused. He finally returned the ship to Europe, where various countries, including the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands and France, accepted some refugees. Many were later caught in Nazi roundups of Jews in the occupied countries of Belgium, France and the Netherlands, and some historians have estimated that approximately a quarter of them were killed in death camps during World War II.
