"Hitler’s War?"

New!

From: Myths of Modern History

$2.60

This chapter confronts the myth that Hitler was personally responsible for the Second World War, when– in reality– he shared responsibility with others, namely Germany’s industrialists and bankers, who believed they would benefit from a new war. This war was for profit, and also in part meant to destroy the Soviet Union.
