Did Hitler Want War?

 http://www.toqonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/unwar-198x300.jpg

On Sept. 1, 1939, 70 years ago, the German Army crossed the Polish frontier. On Sept. 3, Britain declared war.

Six years later, 50 million Christians and Jews had perished. Britain was broken and bankrupt, Germany a smoldering ruin. Europe had served as the site of the most murderous combat known to man, and civilians had suffered worse horrors than the soldiers.

By May 1945, Red Army hordes occupied all the great capitals of Central Europe: Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Berlin. A hundred million Christians were under the heel of the most barbarous tyranny in history: the Bolshevik regime of the greatest terrorist of them all, Joseph Stalin.

What cause could justify such sacrifices?

  1. Did Hitler want war? Nope. He sent Rudolf Hess, who flew into Britain unarmed and alone to seek peace between the two countries. The way Hess was treated was
    unconscionable, barbaric and I hope all those involved are rotting in Hell as they put
    him through. After death and burial, his body was dug up, cremated and tossed to
    the sea so no one could visit his grave. He was murdered after all those yrs. in prison. His son proved this. Really sad. Such despair he must have felt.


    "Rudolf Hess did not commit suicide on August 17, 1987, as the British government claims. The weight of evidence shows instead that British officials, acting on high-level orders, murdered my father."

    "The same government, which tried to make him a scapegoat for its crimes, and which for almost half a century resolutely sought to suppress the truth of the Hess affair, finally did not shrink from murder to silence him. My father's murder was not only a crime against a frail and elderly man, but a crime against historical truth. It was a logical final act of an official British conspiracy that began in 1941, at the outset of the Hess affair. But I can assure them, and you, that this conspiracy will not succeed. The murder of my father will not, as they hope, forever close the book on the Hess file. I am convinced that history and justice will absolve my father. His courage in risking his life for peace, the long injustice he endured, and his martyrdom, will not be forgotten. He will be vindicated, and his final words at the Nuremberg trial, "I regret nothing!," will stand forever"

    I truly hope he is resting in peace.

  2. Why was General Patton buries in Germany? I suspect the same reason as
    Hess but could be wrong.

    1. Don't know, but the circumstances of his death are subject to skepticism.
