Germans wanted legitimate government to remain in place[edit]
The notion that the Germans during WW2 wanted to rule the world is a falsehood. Hitler never permanently claimed an inch of territory unless it had formerly been part of Germany before Versailles. In support of this assertion, Hitler always allowed the countries occupied by the German military to keep their own governments, as required by international law. When the allies seized Germany they illegally arrested the German Government, which had not surrendered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.144.96.76 (talk) 04:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Some of your statements are entirely or partially true. For example, I have read a claim (although I cannot find a reliable source) that the Allies did cause themselves quite a juridical headache by arresting the Flensburg Government without demanding it to formally surrender first. However, it is a major falsehood that Hitler’s Germany did not permanently claim other than pre-Versailles territories. Even if we maintain that the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and the General Government were not intended to be permanently annexed (quite a stretch), Austria and the Sudetenland were annexed before the war and Luxembourg in 1942. As far as I understand, the annexation of most CdZ areas was less formal in nature, but still showed major signs of permanent territory claims. – Jippe (talk) 15:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
