It puts some of the political machinations in place
in Scandinavia which helped Hitler stay in power
for longer than he should have.

Hitler would have lost the war a lot sooner if the
leaders across Europe had been more belligerent...

just like more aggressive and belligerent leaders
anywhere could stop the extreme rightwing from
getting as far as it does, imho.

Roosevelt was all right, but he was up for re-election,
and felt his hands were tied at first. IOW, Republicans
have always been a problem when the rightwing rears
its ugly head.
