Szopen, it is an obvious an undeniable fact that the Polish Corridor (Prussia) and Danzig were 98% German and had been German since time immemorial, as with the majority of Silesia.

Of course, as most people in the west, you ignore that, because Poles seem to be subhuman and therefore it doesn’t matter if they are majority, as long as some Germans live there. Somehow, the Polish minority living in Germany at the time does not deserve the same sympathy from Buchanan and the likes. Buchanan’s arguments about British guarantees are exactly the same, which British ambassador Henderson heard from Nazis in 1939. Read Henderson’s autobiogaphical book “failure of a Mission”.

Must have been wrong.

Plenty of people cautioned Hitler. You need to read up on the history.

Of course they also told him the same things about France.

Yes, it should also be noted that Hitler offered Britain peace twice, including before the Battle of Britain, and he also let untold trapped soldiers escape from France as a gesture of peace. Even in his racial hierarchy he considered the Brits near equals and never expressed a desire to destroy them.

Also, while Hitler did not use chemical weapons to defend Germany — they were ready, marked in boxes “do not open unless under direct order from the Fuhrer”, and were 100 times more powerful then anything from WWI. Churchill, by contrast, had already decided to use them if the Germans got onto the island.

Of course Hitler had been the recipient of a gas attack, so maybe that was enough to persuade him.

Nobody cautioned him. The Wehrmacht thought it would be a walkover.
