Really? Then why did they invade Poland? And why was NATO formed later on and why did we fight the cold war for over 50 years? History proves that the communists were trying to do exactly that. Sadly, the US and Britain handed millions of people over to communist rule knowing full well what their fate would be.

The Cold War was necessitated in light of the nuclear age. And how does Russia's own invasion of Poland equate with domination of Europe. Hitler went that far. Stalin never did.

Hitlers own words reveal that he believed the Soviets were posturing to break the non-aggression pact and invade Western Europe. Considering the massive Soviet build up, I'm not convinced that Hitler's assessment was wrong.

Like I said previously, I understand that history painted Hitler as the ultimate evil villain and everyone wants to believe it, but history was written by the victors. You have to view things within the context of those times and sift through the propaganda to have a clearer understanding. Few people are willing to do that, however, out of fear of being labeled a "Nazi". Hitler's own words. Right. The same Hitler who time and again sued for peace, only to invade one sovereign nation after another. We are discussing the same character I take it. He was famous for his perfidy. Of course he would claim that Russia was biding it's time. And even if true, he made the first move (again).

Sorry Scorpio, but this vain attempt to paint Hitler as some meek and gentle character is psychotic at best. This is the same man who tore down Versailles, and re-armed to the point of being virtually unstoppable, prior to invading one peaceful country after another. How the fuck was he misunderstood?
