search google .mil domains all you want. good research the old way will lead you to the conclusion that A.H. had no real intention of invading/conquering, or as CobaltBlue likes to say 'enslaving' (lol), his much admired british cousins. keep in mind that the british royal family is of german descent and the whole war might have had a very different ending if the very popular and loved heir to the throne Duke Edward VIII (born Edward Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, family name changed to Windsor to hide the german background) hadn't been forced to abdicate in 1936 by british intelligence because of his germanophilia, using Wallis Simpson as a pretext. <<The Duke saw Germany as a bulwark against the spread of Stalinist World Communism. Hitler was pro-Royal family. The Duke was absolutely convinced that Britain should try to avoid war, and isolate herself from participating in a war with Nazi Germany. Such a war he must have thought, could only strengthen Communist Russia.>> members.aol.com amazon.co.uk fpp.co.uk

<<One can imagine things turning out differently, but it is now too late. The Führer made numerous proposals to London, the last time four weeks before the war began. He proposed that German and British foreign policy work together, that the Reich would respect England's sea power as England would respect the Reich's land power, and that parity would exist in the air. Both powers would join in guaranteeing world peace, and the British Empire would be a critical component of that peace. Germany would even be ready to defend that Empire with military means if it were necessary. Under such conditions, Bolshevism would have been confined to its original breeding grounds. It would have been sealed off from the rest of the world. Now Bolshevism is at the Oder River. Everything depends on the steadfastness of German soldiers. Will Bolshevism to pushed back to the East, or will its fury flood over Western Europe? That is the war situation.>> calvin.edu

<<WWII: An Unnecessary War By Alex S. Perry Jr. There was absolutely no need for World War II. Adolf Hitler was doing everything he could to come to peace terms with Britain, but Winston Churchill would not have it. Churchill knew of the many peace offers coming from the German government. He knew that neither Hitler nor any other Nazi leaders wanted to fight Britain. Winston Churchill wrote to Josef Stalin on January 24, 1944, to tell him that Britain was going to continue the fight to the complete destruction of Germany no matter what. He should have been more exact and said that Britain was going to stay in the war as long as the United States was willing to do most of the fighting and all of the financing. Churchill’s letter read, in part: We never thought of peace, not even in that year when we were completely isolated and could have made peace without serious detriment to the British empire, and extensively at your cost. Why should we think of it now when victory approaches for the three of us?1 What Churchill meant by “when we were completely isolated” was the time before Russia and the United States became involved. Churchill kept the war going for a purpose. Britain at this time was so weak that Germany could have smashed her within a few weeks. Had Hitler been the kind of man history says he was and had he captured the British army at Dunkirk, which he could easily have done and should have done, he could have written the peace ticket without invading Britain. Churchill’s worried son Randolph asked Churchill a few days after he became the prime minister how could he expect to win this war. Churchill replied, “I shall drag the United States in.”>> barnesreview.org
