How was a German different from a Czechoslovakian? Why, he even used the excuse that he was seeking to reunite the Germanic peoples of Czechoslovakia and Germany! Austria different? Holland was apparently different enough to run over with his Panzer divisions.

ehm, the nazis did not invent any differences, with most western-european countries they instead hammered on being quite similar! They invaded Holland 'cause we Dutchmen are germanic people too and thus needed to join Germany in some huge germanic super-state.
Or that's what they told... It's much more likely Hitler was just a megalomane psychopath aching for even more land to control...
