re: Who are you comparing to Hitler? In 1939, Germany was either #1 or #2 in military preparedness in the world.

it is exactly like the case with Hitler
lib.byu.edu
as per 1919 Peace Treaty of Versailles

"ARTICLE 159.
The German military forces shall be demobilised and reduced as prescribed hereinafter.
ARTICLE 160.
(1) By a date which must not be later than March 31, 1920, the German Army must not comprise more than seven divisions of infantry and three divisions of cavalry.
After that date the total number of effectives in the Army of the States constituting Germany must not exceed one hundred thousand men, including officers and establishments of depots. The Army shall be devoted exclusively to the maintenance of order within the territory and to the control of the frontiers.......
"

That is very similar to UN resolution against Iraq. Europeans decided not to enforce the treaty on Hitler. If the treaty would be enforced then over 60 million people, including 6 million Jews, would not have to perish in WWII.

Seems like Europeans are very eager to relive that history. Only US and UK learned from the past mistakes and they would enforce UN resolutions without waiting for Iraq to acquire nuclear arsenal
