Hitlera. Hitler and Stalin had signed a treaty but did not trust each otherb. Germans were starving and discontent was prevalent in the nationc. He promised the German people to rebuild Germany and create a Third Reichd. Hitler fed on existing sentiments against Jews in his crusade against them, beginning with more subtle rules against them being bosses and requiring them to wear identifying bands, which then easily escalated into alienating them to ghettos and moving them to “work”/death campse. He wrote “Mein Kampf” in prisonf. Beyond the 6 million Jews that died under Hitler were another 6 million homosexuals, disabled, and handicapped people who suffered forced sterilizationand the campsg.

Hitler announced he would continue to seize more, including part of Czechslovakiac. 1938—the Munich conference included leaders from Britain, France, Germany, and Italy to convince Hitler and Mussolini to stop their invasiond. Leaders agree to let Hitler take Austria, Czech, and Sudetenland and he “promised to stop” theree. Hitler took the rest of Czechslovakia and invaded Poland, violating the Munich agreement—this is seen as a major cause of the warf. 1939—Hitler waited out the Winter, then invaded (blitzkrieg) Belgium, Denmark, Holland, and France in spring 1940g.
