Comments by "AFGuidesHD" (@AFGuidesHD) on "What did Hitler want in Europe? | Nazi Empire, Greater German Reich, WW2 Alternative History" video.

Have you read Otto Wagner's "memoirs of a confidant". Quite interesting how in 1936 Hitler was talking abut setting up a Greater European Union with a customs union with Poland, Czechoslovakia and everyone else in Europe. Obviously 3 years later there'd be war, so basically I think Hitler's "plans" for the future changed every week. This video is a nice compilation, though probably far from definitive of all the various writings German leaders made about possible future configurations.

@samwill7259 Was he as insane as Plutocrats who wrote about the genocide of Germans or partitioning Germany ?. Most allied propaganda films would say no. Writing about the partition of Germany is "fine" but Germans writing about annexing [x] is "insane".

@HW-sw5gb "Accidentally made the reservations smaller and smaller" lool

@HW-sw5gb "There was never an industrialized process of mass murder" But there was still a deindustrialized process of mass murder through wars and atrocities. The first use of biological warfare was against Native Americans. I think the consensus is that most people are apathetic towards genocide when it is conducted, in America, Turkey, Germany or wherever. Of course when they get conquered by foreigners who show them how evil they've been, naturally they're all "oh yeah we totally were against this #GermanResistance" It's no coincidence that suddenly everyone is a resistance fighter or communist when the other army occupies their country.

it wasn't really "Anglo" relations, it was quite literally Churchill-American relations, it's why Churchill is such a big hero in America. Before the half-American came along Britain was a rival of America, as America even during the war treated them like an enemy more than an ally. It's why the Germans were so confused as to why Britain preferred to be treated this way than ally with Germany against the Americans.

No because the Americans won. So doing a video about all the different "crazy, insane, evil" plans that Americans had for Germany, doesn't work for our cause.

No the Brits don't really make any sense, "bro we literally want to ally with you, trade with you, protect your empire, why tf are you trying to wage a war that is ruinous to yourself ?"

@generaladvance5812 there's a difference between an anti-British hegemon like Napoleon and what Hitler wanted which was a pro-British hegemon. The alternative was what we got, a communist and American split Europe with a ruined Britain.

@achanneltruly5331 the pseudo history is your idea of "hitler was always gonna attack france" the actual history is that Hitler offered a 25 year peace pact with France in 1935 or 36 I believe it was.

@Jamesmac77 Difference was that the Soviets violated the pact by supplying arms to Yugoslav partisans. Of course, allied propaganda films never mention this bit. But for the sake of honesty I would also say, yes, it was no surprise. Germany had long wanted to expand eastwards. They never planned to expand westwards, so that is the key difference. You will not be able to find any writing or speech before WW2 where Germany plans to expand westwards.

It's almost like different people have different opinions. The Plutocrats were also contradictory on stuff like this i.e. the future configuration of Europe.

@HW-sw5gb I simply use "Plutocrats" because some folks prefer to use the political ideologies as a substitute to Axis or German, yet funnily enough never do this for the Allies/ Americans. "insanity" Kinda like the United States entire existence isn't it?

@HW-sw5gb "they mostly died of disease" big yikes. Imagine if someone said that about the thing that happened in the 1940s,, what would you call them? "morals were totally different in the 19th century" except they actually weren't when you read certain quotes from people who lived at the time.

If the Germans won before Italy switched to the allies then they would not have annexed the Italian territories lol On the contrary in many German writings in 1940 they spoke about Germany AND Italy being the masters of Europe, when the Italians were invaded and "switched" to the allies, then certain people starting writing about the treasonous Italians etc.

No more delusional than Roosevelt and other Plutocrats remarks about what to do with Germany

@jaredsheehan480 Stalin, Zhukov, Khrushchev and many others literally said they would have lost without the tanks, steel, food, fuel, boots and trains delivered in lend-lease, yet tankies still believe in, ironically, western propaganda that paints the USSR as a superpower behemoth.
