Palaiologos2:
You "don't see war as inherently evil". Too bad, because it is. You reject the concept of "justice" in international affairs. Very sad. Since you admit to believing in the concept of "might makes right", your support of fascist aggression is obvious.
Whether or not the the Sudetenland was, in Hitler's eyes, "legitimate German lands" is no justification to violate international law. The Sudetenland, as part of Bohemia and later Czechoslavakia, had never been part of Germany. The Nazis had no right under international law to occupy it.
The argument that the Nazi Party was really on the left shows a lack of understanding of the actual politics of the Nazi Party. Are you unaware of the "Night of the Long Knives" in which Hitler purged the left of the Party? Is the color of their flag supposed to be some sort of proof of their actual policies? The Nazi's posed as a socialist party in order to win support. That's very different from their actual policy.
"National collective memory"? There's a Nazi concept, if ever I heard one.
And the Greco-Turkish conflict isn't relevent to the political and historical background of the Second World War.
