The Germans started the Beidebecker raids primarily designed to destroy british places of cultural and historical importance.
Churchill was a pragmatist there's a distinct possibility he knew about pearl harbour beforehand through codebreaking but knew Britain couldnt win.
He also wanted to join forces with the germans and roll the russians back to their own borders
We will probably never know the full truth as most history is written by the winners is based on the few sources that survived through the vagaries of fate , is constantly rewritten re interpreted by historians in a game of academic one upmanship.
We've done plenty of unethical things in the past we fought a war in order to gain control of the opium trade in China but thats in the past.
If it wasnt for our history we wouldnt be the rich multicultural society we are today

Well, considering WWII was one of the few wars where we actually did have one more right side than the other I think I'll take the allied side over the nazi side. The blitz campaigns were constantly targetted at civilians, the nazis frequently went after civilians, stop defending Hitler or I'll boot your ass off the site, period.

The blitz was not terrorism! It was retaliation! So I do not see how they can be lumped into the same category!
Yes but the bombings were retaliation for germany's invasion of Poland which started the war in europe in the first place.
Honestly stop reading the Nazi today magazines.

As opposed to the side that conquered most of Europe and established camps to purge those it deemed inferior? No one here defends Stalin, but the simple fact is that the Nazis sought to conquer and destroy other entire races, you stand here serving as their cheerleader. Seriously kid, what is wrong with you?

Yes the British and the French declared war on Germany not the other way around. And please do not think Poland is an innocent victim. They were mobilising troops to invade Germany in 1933! In the Danzig corridor Germans were regulary persecuted and terrorized.

Im very skeptical of the holocaust. If you want to take that angle than you need to provide proof that Hitler knew what was going on! I will give you every Transformer I own if you can provide such a document!

Yeah, but I'm getting something... something to do with the occupation of other nations, despite being asked not to... what on Earth could that be?
Damn, if only I'd studied this for more than seven years...

Doesn't really matter if he knew one way or the other it happened .
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Are you questioning the fact that the Holocaust happened? I could provide you with primary proof in the form of photographs taken by my Great Grandfather who liberated said concentration camps, took the photos of the bodies, then smuggled the film back home. As for Hitler...why do you insist on defending the little a self loathing sociopath, who was so miserable that he felt the need to share his misery?

Wow...you really are a scary, scary individual Mein Führer...next you are going to tell me that Hitler actually worked in the soup kitchens of the concentration camps to feed all the starving jews, who were put there only as a work program to help them because they were devastated by unemployment and poverty...

I support historical revisionism. Yes there were bodies of people starved. But they did not die from gas chambers. They starved because all of Germany was starving. As a result of the Allied bombings. The US Army medical officers examined the bodies and determined the cause of death as from typhus. Those pictures are the very symptoms of typhus!
As for Hitler I admire him because he stood up for the German people when no one else gave a **** unless it benefited their own pocketbooks. Even Churchill regarded him as a national hero for Germany. Plus I also support nationalism. Not just for whites but every nationality and group.

Dude, don't be snarky. We all know that was Goering.
