Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- INDUSTRY FOR THE MOTHER LAND!!!!!
- Because of the Treaty of Versailles and the reparations imposed on us, we shall declare war!!!!
- This is a myth. Adolf Hitler did not use the Treaty of Versailles to gain power or to justify World War 2.
- TREATY OF VERSAILLES
- Adolf Hitler
- HOORAH!!! GLORY TO THE FUHRER!!!
- "It also, unfortunately, brought back to life an insidious historical myth: that the reparations and other treaty measures were so odious that they made Adolf Hitler’s rise and World War II inevitable." (Page 4, Paragraph 1)
- Hitler's political opponent
- I'm watching!!...
- 200 billion gold marks
- We could pay the reparations, but we don't really care about them, and we don't want to pay them. So, you can just leave.
- Hitler, Germany must pay 132 billion gold marks as reparation.
- "The fact is that Germany could have managed to pay, but for political reasons chose not to. In 1933, when the Nazis took power, Hitler simply canceled reparations unilaterally.... Hitler did not attain power because of reparations. The Great Depression and the folly of the German ruling classes did that, but their existence gave him a political cudgel against Weimar." (Page 4, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5)
- TREATY OF VERSAILLES
- "German military planners, if they did not welcome war, by 1914 were increasingly inclined to expect it. Their nightmare was a rapidly industrializing Russia. Rather like the Japanese in 1941 who decided to attack the United States, the Germans thought it would be better to have the inevitable conflict sooner rather than later, while they could still take the offensive." (Page 5, Paragraph 3)
- Look at this intelligence we received, Fuhrer. Russia is industrializing rapidly! We must invade them before they become too powerful!
- Indeed, we must! Let us hurry and eliminate the Russians before it is too late.
