Did Hitler always want war?
Description
Following Hitler鈥檚 rise to power, he delighted Germans by snubbing the Treaty of Versailles. After the invasion of Czechoslovakia, and then Poland, German aggression became clear. The youth indoctrination meant that Germany had many strong and committed young men to wage a war of aggression.
