Everyone talks about Hitler's hatred for the jews and how he blamed them for Germany's problems. But he hated the British just as much and he blamed them for Germany's strife a lot more than the jews.

In WW1, the english were pretty hellbent on destroying the Germans. It was only because the brutal effects that trench warfare had on the populations on both sides that the killing stopped. The damn politicians were happy to keep sending men to die.
