  1. yeah and no...the truth is that Britain was the to be beaten überrival ("Empire" rings a bell?), so ANY other economic/militray upcoming power IS a rival to the British and THUS the british ACTED on capsulating that new rival. The bad spirit is thus the british ...the british had the economic and diplomatic and military power, and ANY threat for that would naturally mean that all strings wld be pulled to offset any expansion of the rival anywhere in the world (diplomatically, economically, trade agreements, pay other countries to field their troops for the british cause ..for money or agreements, until at FINAL stage the british wld THEMSELVES field their soldiers..). The way britain has acted during their era 17th C - 20C, is no less different as USA is acting right now..1950-2020.....think of it...

  2. poland cannot be detached from Chzeckoslowakia (münchen 38)..britain and france WERE already committed. In TIK's fantasy it wld be better to have NOT attacked Poland 1939 but stage the soviet assault from Prussia and Romania and Hungary (at a moment when hitler wld led the russian to believe they, the soviets, shld start invasion of poland..and thus have russian troops concentrated at the polish border...).

  3. wiki : Schörner was a convinced Nazi and became well known for his brutality. By the end of World War II he was Hitler's favorite commander. Following the war he was convicted of war crimes by courts in the Soviet Union and West Germany and was imprisoned in the USSR, East Germany and West Germany. At his death in 1973 he was the last living German Field Marshal. he didn't..

  5. 29:48 here is a nice scene from Our Fathers Our mothers that perfectly depicts this "mix" effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGz-KLpGl4E (actually..the scene before: HJ kids firing on russians, and the veteran saying"you imbeciles!"..)

  6. Poland (and britain/France committment) cannot be detached from Chzeckoslowakia (münchen 38)..britain and france WERE already committed. In TIK's fantasy it wld be better to have NOT attacked Poland 1939 but stage the invasion into russia from Prussia and slovakia, Romania and Hungary in 1940 (at a moment when hitler wld led the russian to believe they, the soviets, shld start invasion of poland..and thus have russian troops concentrated at the polish border...). 2 no 3, no 5 birds with 1 stone: 1) no war (and wasting) with britain and france = continued imports, 2) russia in war with poland, poland an uneasy axis ally... 3) russia still in purge reorganisation, troops at polish border stuck and easily surrounded by the germans.....4) better summer, autumn and winter in 1940-1941.... 5) UK and US wld NOT be committed to send convoys to soviets (becoz war agnt Finland and Baltics..and poland..)...."world"communism wld have ended in 1941 instead of in 1989/1991
