Honestly such a experience would make me a pacifist. I certainly don’t condone the appeasement of the Nazis in the 30’s but people who blindly condemn the British and French leadership at that time ignore what they were coming out of. We have the wonderful benefit of having hindsight bias and knowing what the Nazis were.
Hitler thought he could just launch a mechanized Blitzkrieg and end the war before the casualties started piling up…he nearly succeeded.
