In later generations, there was always an opinion on the Internet that Hitler did not want to go to war with the British. The pen is interesting, and the www.biquge.info is that Qiu Fatzi has to fight to the death with the other party, and as a result, he has exhausted the old bottom of the British Empire and cheapened the Americans in vain.

In the experience of John II, this is only half true. The right part is that Hitler really didn't want to go to war with Britain.

It is well known that Hitler, a bohemian corporal, in addition to being fascinated by Norse mythology and astrology, had a natural affection for the traditional European aristocracy. After the Third Reich was founded, the German aristocracy of the old era still kept their estates and castles. And this is contrary to some of the ideas of National Socialism.

Historically, Hitler has always been more tolerant of officers from aristocratic backgrounds, even if those people are not of the same mind as him. For example, Count von Stauffenberg (a nobleman of the Kingdom of Württemberg) who planted a bomb under his conference table, after he was crippled on the Eastern Front, Hitler generously gave him the command of a Berlin reserve division.

Hitler seems to have enjoyed the feeling of being able to give "generous handouts" to European royalty and ancient aristocracy. Think of them as a great backdrop for your "greatness". In this respect, he bears a bit of a resemblance to the former Kaiser Wilhelm II.

During the First World War, Wilhelm II was at war with England and at the same time very fond of his English relatives (William II was the grandson of Queen Victoria of England). On the premise of securing his victorious status, he was happy to protect his relatives, giving them the honor and status worthy of their status, so that they could continue to enjoy the glory of nobility under his wing.

Of course, Hitler's personal attitude was only one aspect. Although as a dictator, his personal will can largely determine the direction of national policy. However, on such a major issue as Anglo-German relations, the absolute role is whether there is a conflict of interest between the two countries.

So, did Germany have to attack Britain proper? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the island of Great Britain is not very attractive to Germany. What Germany needed was iron ore from Scandinavia, oil from Romania, the Caucasus and even Iraq, and as for coal on the island of Great Britain, the Germans themselves had more than that. From a national strategic point of view, the Balkans, Turkey and Egypt are all more important than the British Isles.

From the point of view of the war, the Germans' current superiority was mainly in the army and air force, and their navy was too weak compared to the British. At best, it could only break the engagement and bully the British merchant fleet. Some time ago, the German navy could break its bones by attacking Norway across the sea, let alone crossing the English Channel to attack the British mainland.

Therefore, for Germany, it was not cost-effective to attack the British mainland. What can the British do if they are beaten, they can go to Australia and Canada to continue to fight them. The German armored army could not cross the ocean.

Therefore, if Britain could recognize Germany's present achievements on the European continent at this time, the Germans would not mind giving Britain "peace and friendship."

The error of this online view in later generations lies not in the fact that Qiu Fatzi has to fight to the death with the other party, but that once Britain talks about peace, it will be equivalent to "cutting itself off" from Europe and losing its leadership over the world. There is a silver lining to fight and watch the Germanic people re-establish a new European order would be tantamount to chronic suicide.

In Britain, the vast majority of politicians are well aware of this, which is why they support Churchill to fight Germany to the end. If Qiu Fatzi only had to fight Hitler, the parliament would vote to change the prime minister, why would it be so troublesome.

However, this "goodwill" of Hitler and Nazi Germany towards Britain was not entirely without a market. As far as John knew, the British royal family had illusions about Anglo-German reconciliation until after the bombing of London.

King George VI, Queen Elisabeth and even Queen Mary kept up correspondence with the Duke of Coburg and members of the House of Hesse. Later, the British "Sun" also published a photo of Queen Elizabeth II performing a "Nazi salute" when she was a child, which caused an uproar around the world.

In fact, it is not surprising that the British royal family has a good opinion of Germany, who made them purebred Germans. As early as 1714, after the death of Queen Anna, the British throne passed to Duke George Ludwig von Hanover, son of the Elector of Hanover in Germany (known as George I).

In the following centuries, every generation of kings of the British royal family would marry a German princess as queen, and even Queen Victoria, who created the "empire on which the sun never sets", married her German cousin, Prince Albert. The British royal family even changed its name to a more German one, the "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty".

Although during the First World War, considering the British people's antipathy towards Germany, George V had to change the royal family's surname to the localized "Windsor", but this was only a play on words, and the bloodline was still that bloodline. Even the current George VI used the German name Albert before he ascended the throne.

As for the Duke of Windsor, whom John was discussing at the dinner table, he was even more of a hardcore "German fan". Because the Soviets had taken their godfather, Tsar Nicholas II, and his family, the Duke of Windsor hated the Soviet Union and saw Hitler and Nazi Germany as defenders of Europe against the evil Soviet Union. During his reign, he urged Prime Minister Baldwin not to impose military sanctions on Germany for violating the Treaty of Versailles in 1936 by sending troops into the Rhine demilitarized zone.

However, everyone here did not believe that the Duke of Windsor would completely fall to Germany. After all, people are people who have been kings, and they are not stupid, so it is still clear where the ass should sit.

If Britain is finished, he will be nothing. Being a puppet king in Hitler's shadow is not as comfortable as being a duke now.

In John's view, the Duke of Windsor, the "love saint", is dancing around the edge of "infidelity" and "inconsistency". The "ambiguity" between him and Hitler, like flirting in a nightclub, always hints a lot but fulfills little.

Historically, John recalled, the duke would soon be sent to the Bahamas as governor and spend the entire World War II years under the watchful eye of British agents. His sensitive letters to Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi officials were secretly retrieved by Anthony Brent, a legendary MI5 operative, at the end of the war, so as not to jeopardize the royal family's reputation after the war.

In contrast, John sympathized with the Duke of Windsor's stuttering brother. Because of his brother's pro-Nazi behavior, George VI had to stay in London with his wife and daughter during the war, and used "practical actions" to restore the people's trust in the royal family, declaring that they had completely broken off with their German relatives who did not study well.

Not only that, but George VI also had to put on a "political show". Whenever the German bombers left, he was always the first to rush to the scene of the disaster, so much so that there was a joke circulating in London at the time that there were only two kinds of people in Britain who were most sensitive to German bombs being dropped by German planes - the fire brigade and His Majesty the King.

As a result, the Duke of Windsor lived to be 78 years old, and George VI, who was younger than him, exhausted himself to death at the age of 57. No wonder Queen Elizabeth refused to forgive the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson until her death.
