Discussion on Historical Context of WWII

said that 15% of Poland was once Germany, and

it was given to Poland at the Treaty of Versailles.

That was German territory with German- That was his case.

And by the way, that was true

The Polish borders had been cut off by-

I, I, look, I'm not here to-

... Prussia and Russia-

I'm not sure I'm defending Hitler

... and Austria.

I'm just saying the idea that Hitler just randomly rolled into

Poland is a lie, and

everyone believes it because they know nothing about the actual facts.

But the truth is, Germany had big pieces of it carved off,

including part of

Prussia, and it was given to this other country.

It infuriated the Germans.

Maybe it shouldn't have, but it did, and that was the justification for it.

The UK had nothing to do with it, and-

Well, we had the Treaty of Versailles

... they destroyed their empire and their country fighting this war

that they still

pretend was a good idea, but it wasn't.

It, it was the classic good versus evil.

Has the UK benefited from it?

We did the right thing.

Is it a better country than it was?

To have defeated Hitler, yes. I mean, otherwise we'd be speaking German.

There are a lot of people in Britain who can't speak English.

There are, yes.

So it would be nice to have, like, at least a European language spoken in

your

country
