How different would it have been if he listened and wasn't hotheaded?Well, the invasion of Russia did spell his doom. Too many fronts. Not even the German war machine can withstand that. Poor poor Germany. In a time where their national pride was the highest, they were laid low. If only Hitler laid low before he thought of testing the patience of the other world powers..
Godwin's Law - wins.
Okay, Anschluss, Großer Reich und Kultur, aber one must also think that things have their consequences.
As one of the grandsons of a man who ardently believed in the Good German, I have to say you're monstrously full of shit. The Good German (what you idiot nationalists rally around as your "Good" example of your stupid ethnicity) was co-opted by foolish nationalistic pride.
Good Germans sold out their neighbors. Good Germans walked into work at the Death Camps, incinerated people who may have been members of their German community, and went home afterwards. Good Germans allowed the obviously German White Rose members to be tortured and executed.
Good Germans allowed their family members to be executed via Action T-4 because they were not "fit".
Would good Turks execute Grandpa or have him sent off to be murdered because he's too old?
The Good German did.
And my grandfather in the US Army, when he saw what the Good German was capable of, was heartbroken.
Because he had realized the Good German had been consumed with pride and hatred, so much so it was consuming it's own people.
And nothing is more damaging to a Good German than destroying their community, their sense of self.
So take your nationalist shit and stuff it up your arse, cause you don't know shit.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
