you don't have to know precisely what he meant. You just don't infer what isn't intended, and what is not intended is clearly not stated.
I
wouldn't know, because I don't have a crystal ball that tells a history that never happened. And if your reading comprehension and common sense was any better than
@prlyles', you'd know that your question is misplaced and irrelevant. AS IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, and germane to
@pooponduke's point, Hitler attacked Poland and that is DIRECTLY why Britain declared war and DIRECTLY why Germany then attacked Britain. Your suppositions here are just your usual try-too-hard inanity.
And if you had even a smidge of the knowledge of history that you pretend to have, you'd know that Hitler thought Britain would actually NOT oppose him to the extent of war. He actually thought of Britain as a potential ally. And plain common sense tells us that Germany would have no reason to start a war with an entity that would only help defeat his primary purposes, which was expansion eastward This all adds up to an extreme
likelihood that Germany does NOT attack Britain without Britain having declared war on Germany.
