The 2017 Michael King Memorial Lecture: War in the Nazi imagination
Рет қаралды 25,274
The Department of History and Art History at the University of Otago is proud to present the 2017 Michael King Memorial Lecture, delivered by Professor Sir Richard J. Evans, Regius Professor Emeritus of History, University of Cambridge.
How did the Nazis conceive of war? In this lecture, Professor Evans-a world authority on Nazi Germany-argues that Hitler's belief that war was necessary for the fitness and survival of the German race led him to promote the indoctrination of German society at every level with a will to wage war and the preparedness to do so. Perpetual conflict was the aim, and the idea that World War II would have ended had the Nazis won is an illusion; it would have been followed by other conflicts, principally with America. In this way, defeat was built in to the Nazi war effort from the beginning.

Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin was so sure that Germany will adopt Communism in 1918 and onward. Likewise the U.S. in 1945 and onward was afraid the hungry West Germany (and Europe) will adopt Communism and Socialism - thus the U.S. generous Marshall Plan for Europe after WW2

Funny, after Mueller, speaking of "post truth" has an entirely different meaning.

An interesting take on those turbulent years that affect us to this day. Reading a book on who funded Hitler that author made me ponder on what might have been had the Western Allies not been so vengeful. A strong Germany could have be a bastion against Communism before and after WW2. Forgiveness would have made us better nations and been repaid in spades.

Yes, if the American banks didn't recall the loans given after great depression (not a fault of theirs) things would have gone really different.

Forgiveness for what? Germany was not at fault during WW1. Everyone was wrong and no valid reason for the war could even be identified.
