re: #115 Gus 802

In typical revisionist style, Buchanan takes a sliver of truth, turns it upside down and wraps it around a big fucking lie. The Nazi war plan was for a rapid war with quick victories. They knew they would lose a long war of attrition. They also wanted allies where possible. But Hitler wanted to absorb Poland any way he could and recognized Poland was not going to simply give itself over to Germany. War was inevitable. The extermination of Jews and other social desirable was planned from before the war and would have continued even if Germany had won an early victory. The Holocaust was not a desperate resort by a losing Germany, but the whole point of the war.
