They forced us ( proud, noble, godlike Germans) to attack them. they then manipulated the brits and Americans into thinking we were the jerks....Even though they got just as much from the Polish invasion as us Huns did.

Join with them, we should invade them....again!

edit: are half germans considered Übermensch? I should get a special break because my other half was a WW2 ally.

We would have won, was it not for THOSE MEDDLING KIDS. (gratuitous Scooby Doo reference)

The balance of power is a matter of concern in Europe. Smaller nations always side up against the Bully. For example: the place where I am born was part of France in 1811. A coalition of British, Prussian (German) and Russian troops beat the French under Napoleon. The British idea in the past has always been to form coalitions with the weaker part, because they wanted to have a say on what is going on the continent which they were doing by throwing in their weight. World War I supporting France was costly. They later gave up on the idea to balance the power in Europe by fighting open wars because the Soviet Army was just too powerful. The US jumped in instead because they realised that the balance of power in Europe is all too important, cold war between the US and CCCP.
The longest period of peace we have had in Europe so far was the time between the end of the Napoleon wars and before Germany and Italy formed nation states.
This record still stands. A German-Russian coalition is still an option.
