Yeah, right. You have any idea how BLOODY armed uprisings are? Especially against a regime that has no compunctions about using force against their own population?

World War II though was a bloodbath by any standards as it resulted inthe deaths of 55 million people and destroyed half of Europe and also created 30 million refugees, a mass uprising against Nazism in Germany by the German people would have not cuased such enormous death and destruction as World War II did.

How about, you go back in time and tell the German people to rise up against the government.....
Wait, maybe they didn't want to, maybe, like the ordinary British people national pride came first, and that they believed their government was right.
If I was German, and living in a country that had gone from a ruined shell of its former being, to the most powerful nation on Earth, I'd be quite happy with the government and what it was doing.

And the destruction of Nazisim would have done nothing to prevent the 60 million or so people Stalin executed in the name of communism, and would have possibly seen the rise of the Soviet union as an expansionist superpower instead of Nazi Germany, and I would have preferred living in Nazi Germany than Soviet Russia, knowing that instant death didn't await me if I looked at a police officer the wrong way.

The German working class would in no way have been fully behind the Nazi regime as the first victims of the Nazis were the trade unionists! The Nazis destroyed all workers movements and began an aggressive assualt on the labour movenment in Germany from the very beginning of their coming to power. Hilters majority of support was among the middle class and the capitalists. The down trodden working class would have easily risen up had they been given a chance to do so.

By the way Stalin had nothing to do with communism! Communism means the democratic control of all the means of production, distribution and exchange by the workers and a plan of porduction for need not profit. Stalin actually persecuted the real communists such as Trotsky who spent the rest of his life in exile campaigning against Stalins regime and wrote a book called "The Revolution Betrayed" Trotsky's supporters inside Russia were sent to labour camps in Siberia.

There were a number of attempts to organize uprisings, and also a number of attempts to assassinate Hitler. All failed, miserably. As usual, you don't know what you are talking about. It wasn't until after the war, and the Doolittle report was published, that we had any clear idea of how effective or not strategic bombing was. Hindsight is always 20/20, huh?
