What is the current thinking of Historians and Historiographers as to the validity of the Hossbachmemorandum being an actual plan or blueprint for Hitler's war to overturn Versailles and acquireliving space in the East. Has the furor of the AJP Taylor thesis about the Origins of the war died downor been dismissed as a gadfly attempt to display his virtuosity?
I'm not qualified to discuss the Hossbach memorandum, but I do know this; Hitler was so obsessed with the Versailles Treaty that when he Conquered France, he forced the French representatives to surrender in a box car just like the Germans had to do in World War I. So I would say there is something to what you mentioned.
“In the forest of Compi?gne after agreeing to the armistice that ended the war, Foch is seen second from the right. The carriage seen in the background, where the armistice was signed, later was chosen as the symbolic setting of P?tain's June 1940 armistice. It was moved to Berlin as a prize, but due to Allied bombing it was eventually moved to Crawinkel, Thuringia, where it was deliberately destroyed by SS troops in 1945.[113]” From Wikipedia… sorry guys ::)
