not trying to counter you, you're right, this discussion is just me adding to it I guess, I'm posting more for lurkers than you. Brash and unwise, but then why do it, he was in a tough situation where you have to keep invading and attacking others to stay in power. Staying stagnant was not an option. It was all inevitable. Some say Hitler meant to take over the wntire world, no, and it was called World War one and two but it wasn't really the first world wars. All of history is one big war. American Revolutionary war was connected to the Napoleonic wars in Europe. Age of Pirates was a world war in the ocean. We have a world war going on right now thru the world.

In many ways the biggest error was to go after the rest of Czecjoslovakia after the Sudetenland crisis. While Fall Weiss set the dominoes in motion, it was not at all without some justifcation....

I think they wanted to have any land that had any german people in it, otherwise how could they call it the third reich, I do agree that was a mistake, difficult land to keep. Too many borders. After that they started thinking, let's take this other land adjacent to it so that can act as a buffer from our enemies, and it snowballed into wanting more and more worthless land.

I do not think there were any Germans in what was left of Czechoslovakia proper after the Munich agreement. There were certainly no German majority areas....
