Switzerland

I pose the question: Why didn't Hitler take over Switzerland, or annex it? It had a large Germanic population, so why didn't Hitler take that as well?

I am not as read up in this campaign. But, my guess is their eyes were bigger than their stomach. Maybe they were flushed with their previous victories.

Yes, there was a Mexican fighter squadron, the "Aztec Eagles". They were trained in the US and were attatched to the 58th fighter group. Though they were attatched to US squadrons, they were part of the Mexican Expiditionary Air Force. They were assigned to the Phillipine island of Luzon. ...

Stalingrad

Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but do any of you know of some reliable and well-written books on the battle of Stalingrad? If you guys could hook me up I would be deeply thankful.

The British also must have realized Hitler wouldn't stop until he couquered the world. It was pretty darn obvious that Hitler would eventually go after Britian, if not for territory than for vengance for the first world war.

Well, either way, it's pretty low to cap somebody who's bailing out.

But, like Helmut said, everyone's got blood on their hands in war.

Waffen-SS

I have recently read a very informative book on the Waffen-SS. Waffen-SS: Hitler's elite guard at war. By: George H. Stein I highly recommend it. It gives the entire history, leadership, battle history, and all sorts of stuff like that. It basically contains all you need to know (and possibly all yo...

Even being interested in German history is frowned upon. Since I speak some German and I love German military ...
