Um, no, strawman, that’s quite a leap from my statement. Iraq was clearly in violation of the armistice negotiated after the first Gulf War and there had been an ongoing aerial guerrilla war since the Clinton Administration called “Desert Fox.” Saddam was in violation of numerous tenets of the peace accord. So no, no one can “just invade” any Middle Eastern country since the circumstances in Iraq were far from those of any other Middle Eastern country…
do look at Austro-Prussian relations during creation of Germany.
No. I don’t feel like it.
I forgot yesterday but here it goes:
Pg 48.
Unemployment in 1933 is six million and lets say in 1937 1 million. I think this is rather spectacular. Next GDP, pg 63:
1933 46 billion Reich marks and 1937 is 58 billion Reich marks. Rather spectacular don’t you think. On same table, as I already said, structure of GDP changed in a way military spending went up and local government and civilian spending went down ?
Yeah, except many of those blessed workers were treated as little more than slave laborers, especially those working on the Autobahn. Secondly, one can also argue that conscription was a pretty disingenuous way to combat the unemployment of young men. Yet, it was a major factor in the ‘jobs creation.’ Wasn’t it?
…
Ahh, you mean against rommel in Africa ?
That’s not really what I meant. But more to the point, what do you mean?
…
Maybe in 1941 but what about 1942 ???
I dunno. What about 1942? After Hitler unnecessarily claimed war on the U.S.?
I will - there is fine description in Hitler/s warriors by Guido Knopp. And book is really against Hitler, with justification I might say.
Okay, cite the text and answer the question I asked!
If figure of 90 million disturbs you so much how about this:

Now if we extrapolate trend to say.1941 there would be some 82 million Germans in Germany, that is without emigration all over Europe.
You mean including Austrians and anyone else that might sort of have a vaguely German sounding name? Yeah, hardly a rock to build ones’ war planning on! But many were still not truly “German.”
…
that indeed is a pity. Would have been biggest export good on top of all that GDP:)
Of course, but then we’d have angry German men…
This was typo. Meant 1935 and 1934.
Fine, but then again, you’re crediting Hitler for what the Wiemar Republic started…
I did … figures and facts. Opinion I can form of my own.
But you cannot misrepresent the fundamental thesis of Tooze by quoting him out-of-context nor posting sophistry, which you are somewhat guilty of doing actually…
