Skivee, you answered a question that Wolfgang didn't ask. The one he did ask was more interesting.

We know now that there were elements (some of them Jewish) within western capitalism that had a significant vested interest in the prospect of war. For them Hitler, and his readiness to exploit the antisemitism that had been rampant not only in Germany but equally across most of Europe and to some extent in the US, was a godsend. They might still have managed to engineer their war. The criminal insanity of the Versailles treaty had given them plenty to work with. But Hitler's extraodinary demagogy gave it to them on a plate.
