Life is based
on the survival of the fittest so I believe that Nazi Germany’s invasion of
Poland was a successful and intelligent move on their part. They were able to
make all of Poland theirs within just a week utilizing lightening warfare, with
the exception of splitting it with Stalin only for strategy. Why would they
cease to conquer Poland or go lightly on them? With their military power and
use of all the technology they had on the battlefield, anything was possible.
They were only simply utilizing their true power in combat in order to expand
and prosper their own nation. As a dictator myself I understand why this is a
smart move. Sometimes you have to be a bit selfish. When you attain the
capability to invade a weaker country and use it for your country’s own
benefit, you are truly not being inhumane, only fair. You and your country have
earned it. There is no point of having such an advanced and forceful military
power if you are not going to utilize this military’s power. I myself wanted
Spain to be a part of the Axis powers yet Hitler denied me acceptance because
he believed my country was too needy of help. I understand why the powerful man
did this, yet do not understand it at the same time. Even though Nazi Germany is a
powerhouse, I still offered Hitler Spanish naval facilities to German ships and
U-boats. I also helped block the allies’ access to the Mediterranean Sea and
even gave the Nazis a list of Spanish Jews to persecute. As much as this angers
me, I do overall believe that conquering Poland, as selfish as it was, was a
smart decision that if I had the power to do, would have taken advantage of it.
Hitler only utilized the military power that he raised and strengthened in
order to prosper his country. I truly do not see anything wrong in this. The
fittest and most equipped will survive and rule and the weak are only setting
themselves up to fail and be conquered. Europe must watch out because I do not
think Hitler is stopping here. His wrath is one like a storm, he can sweep up a
country within days, and then move on to the next to do it all again. He has
the power to conquer much more, yet is this bad? No, he has worked to deserve
it. Let us hope Spain is not next!

Young Austrian women (Sam Loomis)
He invaded Poland after he came through Austria. I am completely taken aback by his force. It was bad enough he took back his home land, but now he has set out to take more. There are girls out there, my age, that are being killed and it isn't fair. Too many innocent civilians are dying! Why? Over land! We all need to work together to stop butlers wrath, I can only hope France and britian together can fight him off, and to think, we welcomed this man with open arms...

Recently, Germany has invaded Poland. Lead by Hitler, the Germans are succeeding so far. I agree with Hitlers tactics. As a leader, I believe going to Poland was the next smartest choice to try and take over. Although the Polish may not like it just like the Germans did not, it is again for the best. Even if the Polish do not accept Hitler and his followers, they are going to be overtaken either way. Hitler is becoming too powerful for others to stop him, but I am fine with this, because Hitler and I have the same views and like to lead Europe together. I enjoy watching him takeover Poland and many other countries while I stay here in Italy and spread fascism. I am doing fine leading Italy, and so is Hitler with Poland. I hope that his invasion is completely successful, because his success is also mine as well.
Benito Mussolini (Kourtney Clements)
While Germany was invading Poland, I had just recently finished helping the Spanish nationalists win their civil war. As Hitler and I had very similar views, I agreed completely with has actions on the nation, and was very impressed. He very quickly invaded Poland with all of the modern technology that had just recently been created, a lot like Italy had used on nations we were invading at the time. Hitler had every right to attack the Polish lands, for they were weak and Germany is powerful. They could not protect themselves, so it was an easy invasion for Germany. Italy had nothing to do with this invasion, so we stayed out of it and watched from the other side of Europe. Since I had just allied with Hitler months earlier, I had to be ready at all times to give him military aid and support from the other side of the continent. I support Hitler's invasion of Poland 100%. He had to do this in order to get his point across and if it started another World War, then so be it! Hitler is a very smart man, as am I. And with our alliance, we are a force to be reckoned with.
Hideki Tojo (Janae Walker)
The invasion of Poland is another step in the right direction. This action shows the much needed advance towards fascism. With fascism we can create a better world and improve conditions. The invasion supports and strengthens the idea of fascism. Fascism should prosper and Germany's actions should continue. This action is for the better. Overall it will enhance the conduction the world. This invasion shows the world just how strong those to invite fascism are. Seeing the actions of Germany should convince other nations to accept fascism. The invasion of Poland shows the strength, growth, and power of fascism and actions like such should continue.
Italian Peasant Woman(Dan Hasan)
The man the world knows as Adolf Hitler is many things. He influential leader, a man that has goals, and he is a total psychopath. You would think after giving a dog a treat he would satisfied, but no instead that dog wants to eat even more than before he got the treat. At first Hitler was just trying unite the Germans, but now he is after something different. He wants control of almost everything. Authoritarian rule isn't a bad thing, I value my protection over my freedom. As sad as that it is, it is the truth. Even though my life is hard it would be even worse without the government having as much control as it does. The government does what is best for the country as a whole, but Hitler at this point isn't doing what is actually best for the Nazi's. Hitler is doing what he thinks is best for the Nazi's. Then again why should my opinion be worth anything. I am but a poor peasant women in a world full of mad men.
George Marshall (Isaac Pontarelli)
Hitler has gone back on his promise, and made our worst nightmare come true, a Second World War. With the envision of Poland Hitler has demonstrated the capabilities of his massive war machine, and simultaneously proven a great number of military strategists wrong with his introduction of blitzkrieg. Is swiftness of Hitlers acquisition of Poland does not bode well for the rest of the war. The ease and swiftness with which the German war machine was able to defeat Poland serves as an example of what they are capable, if there actions go unchecked. To make sure that hitler is stopped, all the allies must band together and preemptively end this war before he gains more territory.
