My latest thoughts on WWII are as follows:
1. Hitler was pro-German like Robert E. Lee was pro-American. Robert E. Lee loved his country if (and only if) it would be run according to the preferences of his Virginia Elite. Despite being a star at West Point and fighting in the Mexican War, Lee's priorities were soon to emerge when challenged.
2. Many people wonder why Hitler would adulate the blonde haired and blue eyed Germans when he was neither blonde nor blue eyed. That's because he was using that "Aryan" garbage to con the Prussian Junkers and the German General Staff into a suicidal war. Like a used car salesman, Hitler knew how to con people and how to evaluate things when "everyone has a price." The Prussian Junkers loved war. That was the downfall of Prussia.
3. Hitler's real enemy was Prussia. That's why he launched the attack on the Soviet Union that he knew would likely wind up in the dissolution of Germany.
4. Hitler was not a German, but rather an Austrian. He turned everything over, in the end, to his very tall Austrian cohorts, Kaltenbrunner and Skorzeny.
5. Austrians and Southern Germans ("High Germans") really came out way ahead as a result of WWII. After the German surrender, they had total control of the rump state of West Germany. Their control lasted from 1933 to 1963.
6. It was only in 1963, when Konrad Adenauer retired in October and the Protestant "middle German" Ludwig Erhard took over, that the northern Germans got back into control.
7. The last stand of the Southern Germans was the JFK assassination, but they could not sweep back the tide of history. JFK stood up to the Southern Germans (and Allen Dulles, their American benefactor). Within 4 years, there was a Socialist-involved German coalition government back in control. That was anethema to the Southern Germans.
