re: April 20th Hitler’s Birthday

The story of the WWI British soldier, Henry Tandey, who could have killed Hitler in a WWI battle is one that always gives a lot of 'what ifs'.

Until the last few years ago, I never heard of the supposed incident. Some doubt the incident while others say it happened. IDK

Would WWII have occurred if the British soldier have killed the young Hitler?

Probably so. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 left many Germans bitter and angry. The German economy was in shambles, the German people were starving, it was what is termed the 'perfect storm'.

US President Woodrow Wilson wanted a more amical solution to the end of WWI but the Brits and French took a harsh stance on Germany.

The Treaty of Versailles placed harsh consequences on the German nation and people as whole.
Wilson wanted the German leadership punished.

As much as a POS Wilson was, had the Euro's taken Wilsons advice and went after the German leadership, WWII may have been averted.

But who knows?
