Entry: The Good War Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_good_war#20504 Post contents: "I have a more valid argument that Nazi Germany would have pushed eastward, and Soviet Russia would have been pushed eastward. In the west you could have had a Rhineland and Bavaria that split from Nazi Germany, but would have actively supported it’s fight against the Soviet Menace, as would have a restored France, and of course Franco’s Spain. " Are you saying, Mr. Capp, that Hitler *never* would have turned against France? He never would have avenged Germany's loss to France in WWI? Hmm, interesting. I guess I was thinking less of the situation in 1939 than in 1941, when Hitler had already occupied the Atlantic shore. I don't see him ever retreating from the Atlantic coast. That would count as his "tyranny" strecthing to the sea. Under what circumstances would Rhineland and Bavaria have split from a Nazi-ruled Germany without the Nazis marching in to crush the Rhinelanders and Bavarians? I do not see how that possibly could have happned in a Nazi-ruled Germany. Plus, if we are talking about the situation as of 1941, I really do not see how the Nazis would permit the defection of any part of what had been the Second Reich when they had already expanded into France. Of course the Soviets would have expanded in East Asia if the Germans had occupied European Russia. But Stalin was planning to invade Europe from the beginning. That is what motivated my statement that the Soviet tyranny may have reached the Atlantic. Sent at: 2008 11 23
