Timeline-WWII In Europe

[harmonica]

Looking for who is the main to be blamed in Hitler's arising we would come to The Treaty of Versailles

Poland had tight cooperation to nazi Germany until September 1939 as well as all other countries in Europe and the USSR so all your words worth not so much.

For example how do you like this photo

November 1938. Poland, Polish Independance day.
Marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły, also called Edward Śmigły-Rydz, Polish politician, statesman, Marshal of Poland and Commander-in-Chief of Poland's armed forces
and german attache colonel Boguslav von Studniz.
Parade of polish army a month after Sylesia occupation.

Hitler was an insane genius.

He made the most of his situation.

Then he made the worst of it.

At his height when he was in Paris the Germans worshipped him.

His first fatal blunder was attacking Russia.

His second was making a treaty with Japan.

His third was declaring war on the USA.

After that he was just a madman -- not a genius anymore.

Hitler is the main cause of Hitler's rise. He would have probably taken over German with our without Versailles.

your not a genius when you get your country blown to hell and millions of your people dead/hurt/displaced/etc
no, there are a lot of people like hitler whose countries went to hell:
Pol Pot, Rwanda, Serbian conflicts, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Comet cult--there are a lot of stupid people that will follow any cause...any idiot.......
..Saddam Hussein got power through a coup
Idi Amin another great example of an idiot
..geniuses?? i don;t think so
insane?? not as much as people think...they are like a lot of men who want power---want their policies carried out
....a lot of Germans did not like hitler
Admiral Canaris saw that he was bad for Germany
some high ranking Generals resigned because of hitler's policies

The History Place - World War II in Europe Timeline

Well, some very important things are not mentioned here.

(1)
1938 Britain and Germany sign non-agression pact as well as France and Germany.
They did it the next day after they had allowed Germany to invade Sudetenland region of Czech.
Poland was acting together with Nazi Germany and the same day they occupied Cieszyn Sylesia region of Czech.

Undoubtedly that date should be called a first day of WW2.

The USSR, GB and France had an agreement with Czech according to it they had to protect Czech from agression. But GB and France decided not to fulfill their obligations. The USSR was still ready to help Czech and Poland announced that they would declare a war if Soviet army tries to move to Czech.

So here is the real face of hypocritical western diplomacy. And we all know what was a result of it.

(2)
If GB or US act, they “liberate” a territory but if USSR - they “occupy”.
Very interesting accents!

(3)
When some battle is mentioned there is no any statistics.
Why not to show number of killed Germans and Russians in Stalingrad, why not to tell how many troops and vehicles took part from both sides? And the same regarding to other battles.
If those figures were shown everyone could see that it was the USSR who had made the main job in ww2. But this information is supposed to be hidden and most people in USAEU are sure it was the USA to win that war.

(4)
Air strikes over Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki must be mentioned as war crimes!
Thousands of civilians were killed without real need.
It is never mentioned and it is disgusting.

Love the Smell of Roast Nazi in the Morning!

Relatives of the "civilians" in Dresden massacred 20 million Russians. By making victims out of those pro-Nazi pigs, you dismiss what the Germans did to your own people. Besides, Russian vengeance was even more vicious than anything Americans did.

President Roosevelt was in his third term and the U.S. had little or no intelligence network. The Brits were shocked to learn that the U.S. was virtually isolated from European and Asian and Nazi intelligence. A best seller titled "In the Garden of the Beasts" is based on the U.S. Ambassador to Germany during the pre-war years. The FDR administration didn't seem interested in Nazi atrocities even when Americans became the victims. All the FDR administration seemed interested is trying to convince the Hitler regime to pay their WW1 debits and that wasn't going to happen. Meanwhile FDR "intelligence" experts claimed that the Japanese were nearsighted little people who were incapable of building a plane much less flying one. The criminal lack of intelligence led to the debacle of Pearl Harbor but FDR's legendary eloquence conned the public.

Why then did the American people vote for FDR four times and why did the historians name FDR as America's best president? As for the airplanes, we knew about all their
aircraft including the Zero.

Saddam Hussein was re-elected many times.

he got power through a coup--very undemocratic, unfair, uncivilized--obviously
..were his elections fair?I don't think so
wasn't it like Mubarak who was in for a long time..1981-2011!!! --no way those were fair....
they really weren't ''elections''.....

You are right there was an immense fear upon the land and much of that fear was reduced when FDR was elected. The nation was relieved that a new type of government would not be laid up on the land as was happening in Europe. It was a new beginning for America, a beginning that FDR began. Historians are aware of all this, and that is why they rated FDR as America's greatest president.

Pearl Harbor has never made sense, even to its contemporary Japanese leadership. That is when Hiro Hito's best generals have accepted that Japan lost the war. That is even before the USA joined in.

Even Manchuria couldn't provide enough resources to Japan to win against the USA, Japan needed the entire Asia, and the Japanese generals knew this. M

Therefore it looks more likely, and logical, that Pearl Harbor was a USA insider job.

The vital Carriers were conveniently at sea when Pearl was attacked. Coincidence? COS George Marshall was late for work that day (yes he worked on Sunday) and in subsequent congressional investigations into Pearl Harbor revealed that the General who was credited with a near photographic memory couldn't remember where he was during the early morning hours of Dec. 7th. When his frantic staff finally showed him the "Magic" intercepts that indicated an imminent attack the General read them and re-read them and re-re-read them until the Military message center inexplicably went down and he sent a lame Western Union telegraph that arrived in Hawaii at the same time as the Zeroes. One thing an officer learns is to never blame subordinates for your own failures but that's just what COS Marshall did. The Roosevelt administration passed the buck downward until an Admiral and a General (who had no access to Magic or any other intelligence) were relieved of duty and disgraced. It should be noted that a favored General who was in charge of the Philippine Army and failed to enact the "War Plan" and allowed his air force to be destroyed on the ground and subsequently lost his entire Army (abandoned it under orders) and alone was rescued, was awarded the Medal of Honor.

the Enterprise was returning to Pearl at the time of the attack
yes, a coincidence...she was just ordered to ferry planes to Wake Island

not many people thought Hawaii would be attacked.....it never entered their minds--even with the intercepts, they did not know where the Japanese would attack

First thing FDR told the American people is that he had no answer to the Great Depression but he would try different programs to try and cure the depression. But FDR did more than even that, and worked out programs that helped feed people that could not work and those that could work-would work. FDR changed America and conservatives have hated him ever since.

1938 Britain and Germany sign non-agression pact as well as France and Germany.
They did it the next day after they had allowed Germany to invade Sudetenland region of Czech.
Poland was acting together with Nazi Germany and the same day they occupied Cieszyn Sylesia region of Czech.

Undoubtedly that date should be called a first day of WW2.

1.) Can you prove that Poland acted with, as opposed to even against Nazi Germany by invading Cieszyn Silesia (Zaolzie) ?
Might I point out this region was majority Polish, and Czechs stole it from Poland just after WW1.

Fact is that Poland occupied Ciezyn Sylesia the same day as Nazi Germany occupied Sudetenland.
And the reason of those occupation was the same - there were about 80% of germans living in Sudetenland and there were many polish in Sylesia.
By the way I wish to pay your attention that Poland also occupied Vilnus and region around it before Sylesia, same time as Germany took Austria.
Poland, Germany and Italy were the only countries who occupied any terriotories between WW1 and WW2.

It is silly for you to mention results of WW1. As a result of that war Poland appeared as a state...until WW1 Poland was part of Russian Empire. So what czech occupation of polish lands can you talk about?

Would you like me mention polish agression against the USSR in 1919-21s? Polish occupation of western Ukraine, Belarus and Lituania...

Poland is the most aggresive and abitious state in Europe. A very rare example of national psychological problem - complex of inferiority...you all try to show other nations how great you are though those days had passed 4...maybe 3 centuries ago.

2.) Soviets were mass-murdering ethnic Poles in 1937 - 1938 in the Polish Operation of the NKVD.
Why isn't this considered the beginning of WW2?

In 1937-1938 Stalin fought against enemies - the USSR was surrounded by aggressive neighbours and a lot od spies were in Russia. He didn't fought against polish but against all foreigners who were suspected in espionage. Yes thousands were arested and some were executed...polish among them.
But absolutely the same was done by other governments in that time. Let's remind anti-japanese hysteria in the USA in 40s, for example, when civil famalies were placed into special camps without any reason but for their beeing japanes - not conc.camps like in nazi Germany or South Afrika by Brits but very much alike.

3.) Nazis had been given huge amount of resources by Soviets in the German - Soviet Credit Agreement, and the German - Soviet Commercial Agreement.
Why wasn't the Soviet Union invaded by the West too?

Nazis had been given huge amount of resources by everyone! What about the USA who supplied them until 1943? Directly or through Spain...
Poland had non-aggression pact with Germany since 1934 actual until 1944.
GB and France had non-aggression pact with Germany since 1938.
The USSR had it since 1939.

And please keep in mind the situation in the USSR by that time - agreecultural state after WW1 (loss of huge territories), revolution (change of government and political system beeng built without finance and educated elite), civil war 1918-1922, foreign intervention (Poland, USA, GB, Czech, Japan...). The USSR surrounded by enemies had to be industrialized else it would never have survived. That was the reason of super-strict policy inside the country - fight against anti-governmental activities, against any national resistance, strict control of agreecultural production which lead to terrble hunger in 30s...
And why USSR didn't have to cooperate to Germany? If other countries agreed for cooperating with the USSR there would probably wasn't such relations of the USSR and Germany.
But nevertheless the USSR was honest in its foreign relations - we were ready to fulfil agreement and to protect Czech, we did not sign pact to Germany until all western countries had done it. You all wanted Hitler to destroy USSR and pushed him to the east but did it in his own way...and after Europe was his he didn't stop, went east and died.

You know, my polish friend - to be great nation and to say you're a great nation is very different. History shows what is the real sooner or later.

They (the teachers) are not allowed to teach us this in the USA.

It is squelched by The John Birch Society here.

Well I don't believe the United States helped Hitler until 1943 ... Those are supposedly a few corporations doing that under the table...

That is the difference between russians and you - you are ready to fight against civilians. And feel happy after you kill them. Russians fight against enemy's army.
You shown your decay nature in WW2 (Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki), you shown it in numerous war actions in Latin America, Africa, Asia (especially Vietnam where you burnt and poisoned territory where civilians lived).

Ящик пандоры – Компании которые помогали нацистам

USA invested $800 mln. in Germany. It was huge money in late 1930s. We may say that the USA was a sponsor of Germany in that war.
Standart Oil, ITT, General Motors, Ford were main investors and they went on working in Germany, Italy and even Japan while WW2.

The nation was relieved that a new type of government would not be laid up on the land as was happening in Europe. It was a new beginning for America, a beginning that FDR began. Historians are aware of all this, and that is why they rated FDR as America's greatest president.

You never change. It is always an appeal to authority...make that false authority.

Of course I use historians for responses to history, in this case 238 historians asked by Slena College to rate. Why would the colleges use MSB posters to rate the presidents historically? Who or what do you use for authoritative responses to history topics?

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

President Roosevelt was in his third term and the U.S. had little or no intelligence network. The Brits were shocked to learn that the U.S. was virtually isolated from European and Asian and Nazi intelligence. A best seller titled "In the Garden of the Beasts" is based on the U.S. Ambassador to Germany during the pre-war years. The FDR administration didn't seem interested in Nazi atrocities even when Americans became the victims. All the FDR administration seemed interested is trying to convince the Hitler regime to pay their WW1 debits and that wasn't going to happen. Meanwhile FDR "intelligence" experts claimed that the Japanese were nearsighted little people who were incapable of building a plane much less flying one. The criminal lack of intelligence led to the debacle of Pearl Harbor but FDR's legendary eloquence conned the public.

Why then did the American people vote for FDR four times and why did the historians name FDR as America's best president? As for the airplanes, we knew about all their
aircraft including the Zero.

Saddam Hussein was re-elected many times.

Mubarak party sweeps Egypt poll

Two Kinds of Business: None of Our and Mind Our Own

The thrill-killing predators in the Moslem Brotherhood should never have a right to vote, which is fit only for civilized nations. When will our self-appointed foreign-policy "experts" ever learn that we are safest having strongmen rule these weak-minded nations?
