This is a historical question about World War II. On Stormfront, there tends to be an anti-German bias, and the flag-wavers and God Bless America crowd is constantly heaping derision on Germany. Now, the claim that Hitler started the conflicts with Britain, France, the USSR and the United States is ridiculously easy to refute. Now they are using 'smaller' arguments about Hitler invading less powerful countries needlessly. The examples cited are Greece, Holland, Denmark and Norway. Greece was a situation where he had to assist Mussolini after his bungling had gotten the Italian troops bogged down there. I am told that Holland was for all intents and purposes an Ally, and was funding the Allied war effort. I have also heard that Norway was allowing Britain to stage submarine bases in its fjords, again making it a de facto ally. Denmark, though, I am not sure about. Does anyone know why the Germans felt it necessary to invade/occupy these countries? Hitler knew he was already up against long odds; I don't think he would have made additional enemies unless it were absolutely necessary....?
