What I meant was that when Hitler annexed Austria he was taking back what he believed to be Germanys. I suppose he got greedy, and decided to keep going, and make his thousand year Reich a reality. His persecution of the Jews and Gypsies etc was his personal vendetta against those who he thought were subhuman. He wanted a superior Aryan race, and the victims of the Holocaust didnt fit that view Hitler had.

Hitler envisioned his thousand year Reich long before he annexed Austria. He first mentioned it in his book Mein Kampf. I have read the German and English versions.

Even the Navy, was underfunded and shipbuilding was kept at a minimal level.

The US had nothing to do with the underlying causes of WW2. It was solely political choices made by the UK, France and Germany (and maybe even Russia).

sign usually means one was just joking DF, thats a thing you gonna have to remeber there buddy, everyone elese knows that, and it is a well known fact that after the first or second page of a thread, it usually goes off topic, last I can remember one topic shifted fromm WW2 aircraft to which was the most superior Star Wars fighter, further more I think this topic of who started world war 2 has been exhausted either way
