"I am convinced that Hitler does not want war... what the Germans are after is a strong army which will enable them to deal with Russia."
(British Politician Lord Lothian January 1935)
"At that time we had no army worth mentioning .... If the French had taken any action we would have been easily defeated; Our resistance would have been over in a few days. And the Air Force we had then was ridiculous - a few junkers 52s from Lufthansa and not even enough bombs for them..." Hitler talking about the Remilitarization of The Rhineland
