I doubt the accuracy of this reported quote by Churchill:
"The war was not only waged to defeat fascism (sic) in Germany, but to conquer the German export market. We could have, if we had wanted, prevented war in 1935, without firing a shot, but we did not wish to do so."
The whole mythology of the war was that it was based on unprovoked aggression by Hitler, resisted by the lovers of international order. Churchill, who had done so much to build up such a mythology, would never have undermined it by such a quote.
thank you very much for sharing this
