– #Easy Digest: Three Fragments of European History denying Reason for Appeasement[1] –
I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behaviour never lies. (Winston Churchill)
#1 ABSOLUTELY GERMAN! | Takeover Of Austria / The Anschluss[2]
Hitler's diplomatic tactics were to make seemingly-reasonable demands and to threaten war if they were not met.
Seyss-Inquart[3] advocated Austria's political Annexation to Germany and fostered intimate relations with Austria's NSDAP. Him heading the Austrian Nazis' modest Faction, Hitler[4] contributed to Seyss-Inquart's Appointment to the Austrian State Council[5] in June 1937.
As a Change Agent, his Key Mission served priming Austrian Nazis to be co-operative with The Führer.
In February 1938, Hitler's persistent intimidation of Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg lead to Seyss-Inquart being appointed Minister of the Interior and Security eventually assuming Office as Austria's Federal Chancellor, replacing Schuschnigg[6] in March 1938, kicking off The Anschluss.
#2 CONSIDERABLY GERMAN! | Partial Takeover Of Czechoslovakia / The Sudetenland
After concessions were made, he accepted them and moved onto a new demand.
Hitler lead the Munich Agreement's[7] ratification by Nazi Germany[8], Great Britain[9], the French Republic[10] and Fascist Italy[11] in September 1938. It yielded a part of Czechoslovakia's[12], ie. the Sudetenland's[13] Annexation to the Third Reich[14], then taking over more than three million people ethnically of German origin.
#3 FORMERLY GERMAN! | Takeover Of Poland[15] / The Rückkehr
When opponents tried to appease him, he accepted the gains that were offered and went to the next target. That aggressive strategy worked as Germany pulled out of The League of Nations.
Allegedly, Hitler was only being interested in re-gaining those German territories, annexed to Poland[16] after the First World War[17]. These included Danzig[18] and the Polish Corridor[19], a strip of land having separated East Prussia[20] from the Third Reich since 1920.
Got it ... so, what ‘s the bottom line?
Anyone, anyone?

[1] Germany’s Ukraine policy is incoherent for a reason – POLITICO: “Europe clearly faces a moment when it will be necessary not to be cowards,” French President Emmanuel Macron said this week, in comments that appeared to be aimed at Scholz. “Scholz’s behavior has showed that as far as the security of Europe goes he is the wrong man in the wrong job at the wrong time,” former United Kingdom Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said last week.
