 “There has been no greater threat to civilization in the 20th century than 
Nazi Germany. The immediate danger—military, economic, cultural—was to 
European civilization, but a Nazi-controlled Europe would have threatened 
much more than just the West. As the conqueror and owner of Europe, 
Hitler’s Germany would have had the resources to dominate the 
Mediterranean, to control the Middle East, and threaten the Western 
Hemisphere. Perhaps that empire would have collapsed from the pressures of 
over-expansion, but even a relatively brief Nazi rule would have been 
horrible. The Second World War was the sine qua non for saving much of the 
world from another descent into dystopian barbarism.”
