    Guderian certainly says in his post-war interviews that he read and was greatly influenced by Liddell-Hart's ideas on tank warfare.

    It did indeed, but as a concentration (i.e. labour) camp, not a death camp. Conditions were unpleasant and the guards brutal and thuggish, but its purpose was not to kill the inmates.

    are we going to do ww11 again. Hitler had no plans to exterminate people on an industrial scale in 1939, that came years later.

At the time nobody really knew about Hitler long term plans, ie industrial style human extermination, so if looking back its good that war was declared.

    Certainly an interesting assumption, however incorrect it may be.

    Aye thank you.

    As we're being brutally honest tonight, I love you. I find your most excellent cynicism and dry sense of humour both refreshing and amusing in equal measure.
