Franklin Roosevelts views of Nazi Germany 1933 through 1938

[gipper]

Germany beggared itself with its rearmament program and since it was barely a nominal democracy the Nazis didn't have to answer to the voters. France and the UK had to appease the voters who didn't want to spend large amounts of money on a war that would never come. Remember, WWI was "the war to end all wars"

I bet you think American politicians answer to voters. Most naive.

Since FDR gutted the Constitution, not so much, but they do to some extent.

Every landslide starts with a pebble rolling. People were far more racist in the thirties and fortes than they are now. That's something IM2 and his compatriots refuse to acknowledge. Things are far better now, even if they are not perfect.

I agree with that statement, but would point out that IM2 isn’t judging our past by today’s standards. He’s asking what republic racial initiatives were offered during that time period. FDR opened to door to greater racial integration into our society. Truman integrated the army. While Kennedy and LBJ defended the civil rights movement and pushed legislation.

Americans today talking of the Nazis work as if they have blank minds about what Roosevelt did about Germany from 1933 through war with Poland in 1939. They prefer to just pretend this history does not exist. Using AI by Google as the tool, read what came up.

Research

Franklin D. Roosevelt's policy toward Germany from 1933 to 1938 was initially one of cordial relations with the Nazi regime. Although he privately criticized Hitler and Nazism, he did not publicly criticize Hitler's persecution of German Jews.

Roosevelt's policy

• Cordial relations
  Roosevelt's administration pursued friendly relations with the Nazi regime, even sending a diplomat to the 1937 Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg.
  
  
• Boycotts
  The administration helped the Nazis avoid American boycotts of German goods by allowing misleading labels.
  
  
• Apology
  The administration apologized to Hitler in 1935 after protesters tore a swastika flag from a German ship.
  
  
• Impartiality
  Roosevelt remained impartial toward Hitler, fearing that criticizing the Nazis would harm relations between the two countries.

the ROOSEVELTS were ANGLICAN ELITES----enough said. I grew up in the vicinity of the the HUDSON VALLEY-----the overwhelming ethos was------so sorry---but true----PRO NAZI, in fact---pro-islamo-nazi

IM2 refuses to admit that anything has gotten better since the days of the triangle trade. White Americans have made huge strides towards racial equality. Racism among whites is now is a frowned upon abnormality that gets the racist ostracized. But as IM2 and his compatriots show us every day, it’s openly accepted in the black community.

I have driven through that area but just now read this story.

I had dinner many years back with Bill Lockyer. Bill had dinner with 20 of us where we paid for his dinner. Bill was early in life a school teacher. Then he worked his way up state of CA Government positions. He ended up as the Attorney General once he finished the law degree. I wanted to talk to him about CA education believing he was the expert.
Guess what he did to me? He only wanted to discuss Tolls over the bridges. Would not discuss education at all. When you corner one of them and they still dodge the issue, how can voters think the congress gives a damn what voters say to them.?

William Westwood Lockyer (born May 8, 1941) is a retired American politician from California, who held elective office from 1973 to 2015, as State Treasurer of California, California Attorney General, and President Pro Tempore of the California State Senate.

Early life and education​

[edit]
Lockyer attended the University of California, Berkeley, graduating with a B.A. in Political Science in 1965. The following year, he received a Teaching Credential from CSU in Hayward, then worked for his father's roofing company and as a fork-lift driver at Ward's before getting his first job with the Legislature on the staff of Assemblyman Robert W. Crown. In 1986, Lockyer graduated with a J.D. from University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. (He returned to the classroom in 2009 as a non-tenured college professor, teaching undergraduate courses in American State Politics at the University of Southern California and the University of California at Irvine.)[1] With his early legislative experience, Lockyer began his own political career as a School Board member of the San Leandro Unified School District, as chair of the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee, and California coordinator of Senator George McGovern's 1972 campaign for the Presidency.

IM2 is consistent with the college ethos that happened when I was an undergraduate-----circa 1970. In fact, he is a parrot thereof

Roosevelt slapped Japan around to the point they attacked Pearl Harbor.

Bullshit

Japan made their own decisions and paid for them

Yeah that’s what we’re were told in government school, but it’s far more complicated than that. FDR holds much of the responsibility for Japan’s attack, as he did all he could to position them to attack. Plus, he knew the attack was forthcoming and refused to warn commanders. Then, he scapegoated those commanders after the attack. To say nothing of the massive death toll and destruction that war caused, started by FDR’s deceit.

When you educate yourself on almost every major event in our history, you find the story we were told in grade school is propaganda designed to benefit government and the political class.

You don't think America paid for Roosevelt's blunders?

Yep, all Japan had to do to avoid war was to end their invasion of China. I think the USA would have even let them keep Manchuria.

There's a brilliant book called "In the Garden of the Beasts" by Eric Larson that chronicles the experiences of Edward Dodd who was FDR's ambassador to Nazi Germany. There was no U.S. National intelligence prior to WW2 so FDR relied on rumors to judge Hitler's rise to power. All the U.S. cared about at the time was payment of the WW1 reparations levied on Germany and that wasn't going to happen. Dodd's descriptions of Nazi atrocities went unnoticed by the FDR administration.

I don't think FDR cared that Hitler vastly improved Germany. FDR also kept Jews from coming to the USA. FDR held Blacks down. So he was flawed yet his excuse is he was a democrat.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was 32nd president of the US. Learn about the domestic and international challenges FDR faced as president during World War II.

encyclopedia.ushmm.org

After the Kristallnacht attacks in Germany in November 1938, President Roosevelt expressed his shock “that such things could occur in a 20th century civilization.” He summoned the US ambassador in Berlin, Hugh Wilson, home for consultation. The United States did not have an ambassador in Germany again until after World War II. FDR also allowed between 12,000-15,000 Germans traveling in the United States on temporary visitor visas to remain in the country rather than forcing them to return to Europe. He used executive authority to grant a six month extension to the visas, and repeatedly extended the visas until the end of the war.

He also brought us out of the Great Depression and saved the world from Fascism.

Which is probably why you hate him.

Step up when you get educated. FDR never brought us out of the depression. This war was forced and war got us out. FDR did what? Learn history.
