Well.....I am not so sure....
I will read the entire article, but already there are issues.
Hitler’s final demand, that 95% German Danzig be returned to Germany just as its inhabitants desired, was an absolutely reasonable one, and only a dreadful diplomatic blunder by the British had led the Poles to refuse the request, thereby provoking the war. The widespread later claim that Hitler sought to conquer the world was totally absurd, and the German leader had actually made every effort to avoid war with Britain or France. Indeed, he was generally quite friendly towards the Poles and had been hoping to enlist Poland as a German ally against the menace of Stalin’s Soviet Union.
Are you going to say the same thing about the Sudetenland, or all of Czechoslovakia, the Rineland, Austria? Granted Hitler did not think they would go to war over Poland, they had not gone to war over any of the other things, in face "blessed" them. But there was a classic "false flag" operation with that radio station.
Make no mistake, there are plenty of "back room" dealings going on with the start of that war. The "west" goes to war with Germany for invading Poland, but not the USSR? They did the exact same thing. And rest assured the USSR was just as horrid, if not MORE horrid then the Germans. Case in point:

You can arm chair quarterback everything in that war almost 100 years after its start, and when do you want to say it started, Poland, Ethiopia? Before? Poland is just easy to point to.
Was there the same things going on then as there is now, yes and no. Remember Ike's final address, plowshares into swords is something that is gone forever. Now there is a full time industry to war.
Years of left rule did one thing in the 1930's. Gutted the wests military. The opening events of WWII show just what happens, and history has shown it to happen again and again, when the military is called upon to do its REAL job. Not ready, and holding out hope and doing all the back room BS so common today to get the US into the party. Things like the USS Greer that for years the US people are told was "clearly marked as a US ship" turned out to be total bullshit. Even back then they played games, always has always will.
