Mooron, Germany was prepared ahead before the WW2 started yet, they lost.

Hitler was already prepared for offensive even before he invaded Poland.

It's slowpoke, you slowpoke.

Biafra lost WOEFULLY!

If hitler wasn't ready for WW2, the thoughts of invading Poland would not had come to him.

Poland was going to became a German satellite state to prevent a possible British blockade on the eastern flanks. The polish government rejected this idea and, hitler ordered for its invasion. France and Britain declared war on Germany, once hitler sent troops to Poland.

Again, Hitler wanted to lead Germany into war before he became too old. This to me, showed a high level of readiness on the part of Hitler.

Good argument, but you have also agreed in a way that Hitler wasn't fully ready for the war. He had to invade Poland due to necessity, to prevent blockade of the eastern flanks. So many things had to be rushed...

You can see that the blitzkrieg was so effective in Poland and France, but their effectiveness started waning in the Battle of Britain/Stalingrad.

Hitler was too brash and not so tactical. He was driven by hate to a large extent. A little more subtlety, less aggressive strategy and a tricky alliance with Stalin might have changed the face of that war.

Hitler was antecedently prepared for WW2 yet, he lost. He even wished the war started earlier in 1938.

I'm wondering why he invaded Poland if he didn't want war. He knew that a military attack against Poland could result in a war with France and Britain.

Yes, in fact the young captain that was to fly in a special plane to effect the release of Awolowo on the D-Day didn't report. Awolowo,would have been released on the day of the coup



What a coincidence! Another young captain ( presumably ibo) that was tasked with killing Ironsi too, didn't show up.

Another phantom (ibo) soldier/s tasked with killing Okpara could not effect that charge 'cause Okpara had a catholic guest .

What about Osadebe? Oh i suppose he was clean as a whistle. Na only other people's pikin dey corrupt but the ibos ones who were in the corridor of power are not.


Ibo logic 101

He wasn't going to contest in elections. He'd go straight to become prime minister.

Why are you clutching at straws?



Where the ibo coupists going to force Awo at gunpoint to assume the post of PM?


What if Awo rufuse? What then?kill him, too?


And btw, i wish prople will dtop claiming it was Nzegwou 's coup. He was recruited few months before the coip like Major Ademoyega.
