Why do you think the german public looked away? Why do you think the UK and the US took so long to join the antifascist war?
France & the UK declared war on Germany two days after Germany invaded Poland.
That is an absolutely astounding level of historical ignorance, right there.
And did nothing about it. Besides, that war should have been declare much earlier. When the militarization started, in fact. Big failure on France there (no one really expected the UK to do anything useful, their motto has always been keep the power of balance in Europe, not keep peace)
And that's when the genocide started is it?
Edit: oh I see where the mistake might have happened, by antifascist war I didn't mean world war II but the armed struggle against fascism in general.
You expected the 1930's UK to declare war on another sovereign country due to something that country was doing to their own subjects?
I don't think there isn't a single example of that in written history. You should ask for a pony while you are at it.
It's not like they were doing nothing, they were supporting it. They still were benefiting from the nazi turbo-capitalism that was eating people alive up until that beast started to turn on them. Like the US is doing now with Israel and their genocide of Palestinians.
It's not like the anti-semitic violence came as a suprise when we attacked Poland. It was clearly already there, so why was there nothing done to reign it in? No sanctions or anything they were very happily, keenly even doing business with Germany which was already stealing and oppressing and heavily militarizing for years prior.
You're either a liar or woefully ignorant where history is concerned.
