Thank you, Magda. That was a fascinating read. I looked up Gandhi's letters to Hitler, apparently he wrote two, and the first one was intercepted and held by the British, and neither was all that friendly besides being polite. Mohandis calls Adolf his friend, says he's not a monster but should not act like one either in Sudetenland. He seems to think the Czechs should lie down and die for their country, just like he seems to think Jews should submit to Hitler, but doesn't go much beyond that.
If the Japanese had invaded India, I find it hard to believe Gandhi wouldn't have found an accomodation with them against the British, as Burma, Thailand, Indonesia used the Japanese invasion to throw off the European colonisers and declare a kind of independence. Mongolia apparently was also waiting for the Japanese liberation.
