Hearts of Iron: Nazi whitewashing. Nazi fantasy simulator. Goddamn fucking Nazi fanbase.

Europa Universalis: Colonial Nazi simulator with religious persecution button, Pogrom button, slave trading button, honestly more offensive than HOI because all the atrocity is extremely normalised and in fact optimal play

you dont need to! youre fully correct

a naval blockade is attackin. the phoney war period is also when most of the german surface fleet got sunk.

also just before the Battle of France the French & British deployed in Norway, boots-on-the-ground fighting, thousands of allied casualties

Wally strategic planning presumed a semi-defensive war fought in Belgium or beyond, Belgium trying to do neutrality and re-enact WW1 fucked this up. the Saar offensive (and all other possible offensives on the french border) a) butted into the German defenses--hard fighting b) dislodged troops from a position of strength on the Maginot.

off of the franco-german border, the Wallys were perfectly prepared to engage the Axis, the naval war was hot, and a naval blockade was initiated. the blockade especially indicates Wally intentions, you'd hardly expect a germany cut off from the rest of the world to invade the USSR and win

Nazi interests were contrary to Wally interests. Imperialism is a zero-sum game and neither Britain nor France could allow Nazi supremacy on the continent. The 'optimism' that the Nazis could be thrown at the Soviets was essentially short-sighted and a gross miscalculation of Nazi ambition.

The whole Wallies being friendlier to Nazis than USSR is fodder for the pre-war appeasement conversation, and for blaming the Wallies for allowing the war to happen, not for claiming AFTER hostilities began that the Wallies were under any illusions of that happening.

you ever see patton's proposed uniform design?
