An even larger influence on Hitler's success were his business dealing with large American Corporations who finally stopped doing business with Germany when German declared war on US after Pearl Harbor. The Nazis would never have reached their maximum strength without the help of many US corporations.
I think the Frenchman has a point. Essentially, American businesses were accomplices.

American banks and businesses continued to support the fascist regimes of Europe legally up until the day Germany declared war on America and the activities were stopped under the Trading with the Enemy Act. Despite this, some companies and individuals still maintained a business relationship with the Third Reich. Ford and GM supplied European fascists with trucks and equipment as well as investing money in I.G. Farben plants. Standard Oil supplied the fascists with fuel. US Steel and Alcoa supplied them with critically needed metals. American banks gave them billion's of dollars worth of loans.

He should be glad Japan fricked up and got us involved in the war or France would still be taking swastikas up the arse on a daily basis.
At least the UK put up a damn fight

France was politically divided between Right and Left in the 1930s.
WW2 settled the political debate. The Rightists were purged and France has been run by the Left since then.

No idea regarding the voracity of his statement but a very inappropriate comment by a foreign diplomat.

Tell that douche to go whine about the Rothschilds.
Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerer of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds...Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait `till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more war pigs have the power,
hand of god has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, god is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercy for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings...Oh lord, yeah

Been reading a bio of Churchill recently. The French really screwed the UK (and themselves) over in WWII. The US and the UK really did have to rescue their arse.
Well, the Duke of Windsor also screwed the French, so I guess it is all a wash.

We should also remember that this surrender monkey would be a German slave but for the usa.

Russia would have eventually won that war. Russia threw everyone into that war. They lost more than everyone combined in casualties. It's like they had unlimited manpower.
As long as the Brits had a decent Western front.
We were never invaded by Germany...the American public was against going to war again...and losing another generation of sons.
Why this assclown acts like America had some duty to a European conflict is crazy talk.
We were attacked on a few tiny islands far off our mainland and it wasn't by a European power. We had interests in the Pacific theater...very little at the time in Europe.
We gained huge interests in Europe by fighting and staying in Europe for the rest of the century.

Guessing he forgot or never knew in the first place just how strong the Communist Party was in France pre war. And the U.S. had nothing do to with that. France waved the white flag of surrender in a matter of mths. And helped send more Jews to their deaths in the camps than many German occupiers.

While we played a huge role in WWII, I find Americans tend to overblow this as it pertains to WWI. The French and British had been fighting and dying for years before we showed up with a green fighting force and helped push things over the edge. To downplay French and British effort during WWI is a historical absurdity.
It could be said that the French people failure to fight back in WWII is directly tied to the VAST numbers of men who died in WWI. Without those men they were left with the weak men to did not fight to run everything after the first war ended.
And run it they did. Right into the ground.

Emperor Trump better put that spineless hack in his place! At least we didn't just let Japan march in to DC.

Are liberals losing their shite about this?
The way they did when Trump recognized Jerusalem, or talked on the phone with the president of Taiwan?

France's military should have easily handled Hitler.

After provoking WWI to recover Alsace and Lorraine, France guaranteed the rise of Fascism and WWII through their brutal Versailles Treaty and affection for Communism.
