I was almost tempted to post this in Aleks's thread where he is selling a copy of Mein Kampf but it would have been too much of a thread hijack so I decided to start a whole new topic.

Hopefully you'll see this Aleks and having read Mein Kampf you may have some views on the matter.

It strikes me as odd how we so readily deplore Germany for invading Poland but very little is said (perhaps even less known) in this country about the French invasion of German territory between the wars.

How much did France's invasion of Bavaria in 1923 have a bearing on Hitler's subsequent actions? What was the aim? Would Bavaria have been an independant country or would it have become part of France?

It sort of puts the German occupation of France during WWII in a different light when you look at it from the point of view of things which transpired between the wars.
