In the first place, The soviet Union wasn't attacked by the Germans as soon as War was declared by The U.K., The British DID stand alone for quite some time. Hitler didn't transfer his forces to the Eastern Front until AFTER the British had shown him that they would not give up, and the RAF made mincemeat out of the Luftwaffe. The fact is, Hitler goofed over and over and over again. The only way his actions make any sense at all is if you assume that Hitler WANTED TO DESTROY GERMANY, FOR WHATEVER REASON HIS WEIRD MIND HAD. Maybe he was pissed off at Germany for throwing him in Jail, etc. It seems to me that he blundered over and over and over again because his subconscious wanted to wreck Germany. I think that he did some of the things he did, TO MAKE THE OTHER NATIONS OF THE WORLD BECOME SO ANGRY, (which we did) THAT THEY WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL GERMANY WAS IN RUINS AND COMPLETELY HUMBLED.

Notice, he didn't get the world absolutely furious with Austria and Italy. And as far as Japan is concerned, in their entire history, they have never persecuted their own people because of religion. The only time religion was anDuring the War issue was during the Satsuma rebellion, and, that was only because the Satsuma Clan were Christians. The Japanese, it is my understanding, had nothing but contempt for hitler's "Final solution" and in fact, they had a plan, in place, to attempt to rescue Jews because they thought that these bright, energetic people would be a welcome addition to Japanese culture. The only anti semitic acts they committed, at Hitlers Insistance that they do SOMETHING, was to break phonograph records of music by Jewish composers and performers.
