Maybe Craig is not SO hopeless, Achilles. Roaming around the net about WW2, I often find myself involved in discussions with honest guys who, simply, are a bit de-stabilised by the denialist-negationist crap and only need to be explained few things a bit more in detail, that's all!
I even wrote a fairy tale especially for them:
What the negationists want us to believe?
By Daniel Laurent
Well, this is what they would like us to believe, their own “view” of WW2 history:
“Once upon a time, the world acclaimed humanist Adolph Hitler was willingly and freely brought to power in Germany by the mass of the German people. The electoral campaign that went on freely was a great success for his democratic and peaceful political militants the SA.
He immediately embarked in his mission, i.e. getting back into the German Reich the poor oppressed German people starving in surrounding places colonized by foreigners. He managed peacefully to get back the Sarr province from the French, Austria out of the free will of the Austrian people, the Sudettenland in spite of the Tcheqs oppressors at no life cost.
He then gently and mildly suggested to the Poles to give back to Germany the long overdue occupied corridor of Danzig. The Poles warmongers reacted by aggressing the glorious Wehrmacht and attacked by surprised along the border. The glorious Wehrmacht reacted in self-defense and managed to liberate Danzig from Polish occupation. The Bolsheviks took advantage of the situation to invade eastern Poland where they committed the massacres today blamed on the peace angel Hitler.
The peace loving 3rd Reich could not do anything as they had sign a peace treaty with the Soviets and, as everybody knows, Hitler never ever denied his signature, especially on a peace treaty.
Meanwhile, the French and British warmongers unilaterally declared war to the 3rd Reich, in spite of Adolph Hitler, peace be upon him, desperate attempts to avoid it.
The glorious Wehrmacht defeated the French but spared the UK of an easy invasion as Adolph Hitler refused to crush them, in his eternal and sincere struggle for peace.
He even went to the supreme sacrifice, personally sending his heir, Rudolf Hess, to England with a just, fair and humanitarian peace offer. The criminal warmonger Churchill rejected that genuine and just offer, locked Rudolf Hess in jail, managed him to be full of drugs during the Nuremberg trial so that he couldn't tell the truth to the world. Eventually, the blood thirsty British assassinated Rudolf Hess in 1987 when it became clear that he had to be liberated and, consequently, could speak the truth.
The nasty Bolsheviks took advantage of those difficulties to harass the glorious Wehrmacht along the eastern border and to deny all the clauses of the signed peace treaty.
Moreover, Adolph Hitler, in his quest for a true National-Socialism in Germany, realized that his main obstacle, i.e. the Capitalist abusers, where composed mainly of Jews, the same Jews that were now heavily supporting the Bolsheviks with all their stolen financial might.
In his infinite wisdom, Adolph Hitler, peace be upon him, took 2 decisions intended to salvage the poor German people:
1 - Separate the Jews from the Germanic.
So, the brotherly humanitarian SS started to gently assemble the Jews and send them to summer vacation camps in Poland and other eastern territories, where they could freely care for themselves in a healthy environment. The intention was only to prevent the Jews to harass the Germanic people with their hatred propaganda and abusive
exploitation. He took advantage of this to also send there some Germans such as the communists, tzigans, disabled and other dangerous asocial elements who were threatening peace and social stability.
2 - Prepare his supreme mission, i.e. eradicate the evil of Bolshevism. That was a just cause, as demonstrated by the cold war that has done nothing more than following Adolph Hitler path, peace be upon him.
Unfortunately, the warmonger Roosevelt was there. He was dreaming since day one to go to war, but the wise USA Congress and people were refusing. So, while negotiating with the peaceful Japanese about the regular abuses perpetrated by the USA against Japan, he took such a tough stand that the Japanese were pushed out of their limit and committed a small diplomatic mistake. They planned to set-up a mock-up attack against Pearl Harbor, with no real damages, only to show how serious and distressed they were.
They send their naval fleet but managed Roosevelt to be informed a long time before. The idea was to get Roosevelt accepting a bit softer stand, stop the fleet and be back to the negotiation table.
But the criminal warmonger Roosevelt kept the information secret to the great despair of the peace lover Japanese top brass who waited to the last minutes and couldn’t stop their fleet and planes and you all know what happened.
So the USA get embarked in an un-justified war against Japan and Germany, the criminal warmonger Roosevelt providing the Bolshevist enemy as well as the criminal warmonger Churchill with weapons and ammunitions.
He even sent a lot of war planes to the UK and, with the help of the RAF
of the criminal Churchill, bombed so heavily the poor peaceful German people that they created within Germany a heavy starvation and infectious disease spreading situation.
The main victims, beside the German people, were the hosts of the Reich in the East, i.e. the Jews, Tzigans, Russian POW, etc. in the summer vacation camps. Less strong and less motivated than the Aryan people, they couldn't cope and died by thousands because of the USA and UK crimes. The so-called gas chambers, invented by the Jews after the war in order to extract as much "compensation" money as possible, were in fact disinfecting chambers where the gentle humanitarian SS were desperately trying to get rid of the vermin infesting the clothes of their distinguished hosts".
