Hating the Germans
Or the real reason for World War II. (More from Pat Buchanan.) How FDR and Churchill not only in 1945 handed half of Catholic Europe to the Communists (who killed far more people than the Nazis) as well as refugees from the USSR (I know people who barely escaped this — Russians are another Two Minutes’ Hate favourite) but betrayed the anti-Nazi leaders in Germany the year before. There could have been a conditional surrender and no Soviet empire but Churchill hated the Germans. (The German senior officers in France were ready and willing to do that at the time of D-Day if they’d got the order.) The world would not have been worse off if the Central Powers had won World War I. From LRC.
