If you're not being sarcastic, I wasn't planning to leave the forum - just saying I better not do anything that will ensure I get a vacation if you catch my drift.

I prefer chocolate cake btw.

I was being sarcastic, but in my usual light hearted way. I just didn't (for the second time) see the point of posting in the middle of discussion and saying you are not going to say anything, but people discussing are still idiots.

Well, all i can say is i'm glad i didn't post this article. And i would have beaten Vendor to the punch because one, he hadn't posted it at that time and i had the finger on the trigger, ready to submit post.
Glad i didn't. It's the usual BS discussions about Nazis and what if's and maybe's and conspiracy theories and stuff that has been discussed everywhere in the World.

So you see our records that a race?, If that is the fastest, it does not me, but enjoy it yourself, keep it up, regarding this, so just like many other postings, then the reaction from many sources, some less gifted a second, so it is and so there will always be, but the step to prevent postings of this kind, is quite another.

You misunderstand me.
This is not a race, far from it. I am not competing with you, Vendor. I have more pressing matters to attend to in life than to race with post counts. What i meant by my last post was that i am glad i didn't post it because i knew it would bring up a troll who is fishing, and also discussions which have been worn out so many times in the past.
Now, as for my wording with the "would have beaten Vendor to the punch", i can see how that can be misconstrued, however what i meant by that is that i wanted to get the message across that i could have, but didn't post the article. Simply that.

Do not worry my friend, I do not interpret your words as negative, I am fully aware that the "Post" such as this, can attract trolls, and people who find it fun, to not be serious in their actions.

Peace in this case would be giving the Axis a free hand in Europe, lets not forget that this happened about a month before Operation Barbarossa and while there was a stalemate going on in North Africa (six months before Operation Crusader pushes the Axis back in to Libya). Any peace with the Allies would have been a clear 'win' for the Germans at this point.

Yes, I used to wonder if the offer of a peaceful solution was actually part of Hitlers bigger strategic plan.

Yea I think it was, Hitler had a deep respect for the English (the rest of the UKers I'm not so sure about), he considered the UK a potential Ally before the war and considered the English to be one of the superior races of the world just below his Ubermensch and well above the Jews and Slavs.

Yes the end, would have been different if he listened to his senior military generals, about the tactical moves that should be used, and when that time will be.

@Vendor: The first article is about Rudolf Höss , the Auschwitz commandant - not Rudolf Hess. The site mixes the names in the article all the times. No hairsplitting here, as a little letter (alt + 148) can make an essential difference.
