Dr. Bill...please don't forget, Hitler's "Master Plan" included the extermination of the entire Slavic race...that's the Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Yugoslavs (the Balkans), Bulgarians, Rumanians, Ukrainians, and greater Russia...and then re-populating all of those lands with the Germanic people. That's why he gave the order to "shoot anything that moves" when he invaded Russia and slaughtered 20-50 million people (7 million of those military casualties... the rest innocents). And earlier had ordered the Luftwaffe to strafe tens of thousands of helpless refugees (mostly women and children)on the roads of Poland and Yugoslavia when he invaded those countries. He railed against the "Jew and Slav vermin" in Mein Kampf and other writings and speeches. He was a madman...pure and simple. (that doesn't mean he was wasn't intelligent, attractive, and charismatic...he did possess all those attributes which helped him accrue power). But how he came to power and what he did once he had that power are two different things. Doubtless his thirst for "racial purification" would have spread, if God forbid he had conquered Europe, to the Greeks, the Hungarians, the Italians, the Spaniards, the Portugese, and ultimately the Gallic French and Celts who were not Anglo-Saxon. Yes, we can all be thankful he invaded Russia like a fool...but a big part of that premature decision was the Brits fending him off in the Battle of Britain which discouraged him from his planned invasion of the British Isles across the Channel. Let's tip our hats to our British friends, too. The Blitz they perservered was no picnic. Hitler's original plan was to conquer Britain first, and then to impress the British armed forces for use in his invasion of Russia...but it didn't quite work out that way, did it?
