I'm impressed that the disagreement here has been kept constructive (despite the odd patronising remark), it's quite an interesting read.

I know that this is a tough pill to swallow for a lot of Euros, but Hitler could have been easily defeated by some Allied action in the 1930's

Which Europeans are you thinking of? The French, Italians and British? The Brits wouldn't feel bad for not declaring war in the 30's.
