[quote:Anonymous Coward 1623061:MV8zNTc5NzQzXzYzOTI2NjkyX0Q5NUI1RjdB] To me, it would've been very interesting to see -- if there had been no Second World War OR if the Germans had won (or at least had come to some mutually beneficial settlement) -- who would've followed Hitler as the leader of Germany after Hitler died. The curiosity would be in seeing if Germany would continue on as successfully with a leader who lacked Hitler's passion, independence, and determination. In other words, was much of the German success due -- at least in part -- to the "cult of personality" of Hitler? I think Germany would've continued on successfully with the leader who followed Hitler, because look at the resilience of the German nation & people regardless of who led them throughout the 20th century -- WWI, WWII, Soviet occupation, communism, reunification, massive government-sponsored third world immigration... And still Germany dominates Europe economically and is the third largest economy in the world. Impressive, to say the least. [/quote]
Original Message
He makes it seem like the evacuation at Dunkirk was some sort of heroic event on the part of the Allies. Bullshit! The only reason the Allies escaped was because Uncle Adolf allowed them to escape. Hitler's infamous "Stop Order" is the reason the allies escaped. It wasn't due to any nail-biting, heroic action on the part of the Allies. Christopher Nolan is a bullshit artist. He should have made a movie about the real heroes of the Battle of France, the Wehrmacht - the greatest fighting force in the history of warfare:
