Re: Hitler's War - What the Historians Neglect to Mention

To be fair to Jacquez Pauwels given that he is a scholar simply means knowing what angle he is speaking from. I guess I took exception that in his analysis he makes the all too familiar foregone conclusions as to motivation and awareness that was operating during this time in history. I am not a scholar and don't pretend to be an authority, my learning curve is still pretty high when it comes to reviewing the history of WWII. For myself there is a lot to learn from making a study of how wars are created, the people are never the winners and there are really no good guys who are in positions of power that have found a viable means to stop the ongoing killing.
Yes to wars being in the business of deceit, the name of the game really. Whatever purpose and interest I have in this subject is to provoke the mind to question more and not accept the official versions most people simply accept as fact.
Using the word Oligarchs is defining the few who hold power to rule over the many is apt, I am in the habit of looking up the etymology of words that might show us the first usage and how words develop over time. (Interesting side note here: Merriam Webster dictionary's definition with sample sentences using the word oligarch exclusively uses examples of a Russian oligarchy, a rather shocking and subtle indoctrination.)
Churchill and Roosevelt and lets not leave out Stalin surely were oligarchs given these definitions:
1 :government by the few. The corporation is ruled by oligarchy.
2 :a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes a military oligarchy was established in the country also :a group exercising such control. An oligarchy ruled the nation.
In regards to Adolf Hitler and his background of where he rose to power from I don't know if he could be classified by the same term. In the final analysis puppet of the power brokers may be right. Yet on the multilayered chess board on which the world leaders play on it is very difficult to impossible to cipher out all the angles and moves.
Where it comes home to me is that I can and do ask the question of myself, what would a leader of any nation that desires to maintain sovereignty and freedom from the oligarchs do given the present climate on the world stage? Are they not forced into playing or be destroyed? This saddens me as I write these words for they are all too true.
