Polish Forumj... Today we possessed an information that needs to invoke a feeling of amazement in Pole. According to the United-Press agency, the U.S. authorities found in one of Frankfurt's secret bunker the Hitler's memorandum addressed to Himmler dated 4 March 1944. In this memorandum, discussing the affairs of nations shattered by the Third Reich, "fuerher" wrote about Poles: "Poles are the most intelligent of all the people with whom Germany came across during the war in Europe... Poles in my opinion and basing on the observation and reports from the General Government, are the only nation in Europe that combines high intelligence with the incredible cleverness. They are the most talented people in Europe, because while living in extremely difficult political circumstances, acquired the great sense of living, unparalleled anywhere. Based on recent research made by Reichsrassenamt, the scientists came to the belief that Poles should be assimilated into German society as a racially valuable. Our scholars concluded that a combination of German orderliness with Polish imaginativeness would give excellent results". Forced by the bankruptcy of its policies, the testimony about virtues of our nation made by the greatest enemy of Polish national identity is worth attention. Another similar translation of the letter. groups.yahoo.com/group/JewsandPoles/message/6688 Poster Comment: I don't think Poles were all that bright in not allowing Germany access to the sea. Would have meant prosperity for the region, jobs for Poles. Germans brighter, maybe Hungarians; pulled in more Nobels in the sciences than Poles.

You have to remember though that such decisions were not being made by the high end of the intellectual capital in Poland. Just as it is here, or in most developed nations in fact, it's the equivalent of a puppet, often a brainless one, on the end of a string or the equivalent of our corrupt and equally intellectual capital challenged, and certainly morally and ethically challenged, Congress that makes such decisions. This doesn't even address the evil moral underpinnings of some of these figures. It's stunning to me how much of WW's I & II were brought on by simple egos of people in power and the playing upon of those egos by others that wrought such evilness. Even familial squabbles like that between King Edward VII and Kaiser Wilhem II. WWI was entirely avoidable, and the Germans were the most civil in seeing to that, Churchill was actually a war-mongering bastard that is heralded today. Most of the military braintrust in Germany was even keeled emotionally and mentally however, it was much more if not entirely on the side of the Allies that WWI was precipitated. Of course America's (the winners') history books don't always paint that picture, you have to find it elsewhere. WWII was entirely spawned by the egotistical aftermath of WWI as dictated by the allies, and most of the people in power even stated that from the end of WWI even until during WWII. So they knew, fully, yet ignored it all in favor of more egoistic decision-making. Hitler's humanitarian concerns for Germans were fully justified, even the key people in the allied power structure admitted that, it was just that his methods of enforcement, but only after having his hand forced by more allied egoism, were extreme. The nuts and bolts of it is that WWII was avoidable too, although not to the extent that WWI was, but it was also essentially forced on Germany by ego-fed allied decision making. In a perfect world the allies would have fully acknowledged the wrongs of the Versaille Treaty, yielded back Germany's lands that were primarily occupied by Germans, in several places being treated like third-class citizens by their the countries that had newly annexed them, and Germany would have finished a war that Russia would have started with her or merely been the power to keep Russia in check. Patton, despite loving war as well, knew what was going on. Hence his fate. Today the egos run even more rampant with dollar signs in everyone's eyes. Technology merely aids tyranny.

What's your question, specifically? The statement stands on its own. Churchill is widely regarded as a prominent positive figure during the WWs I and II. He was in fact a war mongering politician that wanted and preferred to go to war in both wars. I added the word bastard, so if that's your issue, noted. If you do not understand that, brush up on your history.
Much like our hero "Honest" Abe...
Not really, he was more like "Foster Brooks" ! (A flaming drunk).
