Why Germany had to invade the lower countries in 1940

"On May 10th, 1940, the Netherlands declared war on Germany. The Dutch declaration was in response to a German telegram that was handed over to van Kleffens (Dutch minister of foreign affairs) by Count Julius von Zech-Burkersroda (the German envoy in the Netherlands). The text of this telegram is (translated from German):

"Announcement of deployment of enormous German military force.

Any resistance completely futile

Germany guarantees European and extra-European possessions and the dynasty, if any resistance remains absent.
Else danger of complete annihilation of the country and the form of government.

Therefore demand urgently appeal people and forces and demand establish contact with German military commanders

Motivation: we have irrefutable proof of an imminent threat of invasion by France and England in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, which has long been prepared with the joint knowledge of the Netherlands and Belgium.

Purpose: advance to Ruhr area"

Now let's take a look at the so called Venlo Incident.

Roughly translated to English:

At the so-called Venlo incident , two officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service were transferred to Germany on November 9, 1939 at the German-Dutch border near Venlo . According to official announcement this happened in an attempted border crossing of the two persons Major Richard Henry Stevens and Captain Sigismund Payne Best . Both were leaders of two British intelligence organizations based in The Hague and primarily responsible for espionage in Germany. The British government reported that the men were allegedly "kidnapped". The fact is, however, that at the said point the border was very complex/unclear and that it could have been only a few centimeters of Dutch territory, especially since no Dutch official, apparently assuming that the arrest had already taken place on German territory, intervened.

The arrest was the direct consequence of the civil bourgeoisie committed the day before to Hitler by the assassin Georg Elser . Already weeks before, the Gestapo under Walter Schellenberg had learned through radio communications of a supposed German "opposition" with the English secret service that now - after the German campaign successful in Poland - a violent overthrow of the German government by England, who had declared war on Germany, had been planned.

Under the leadership of Alfred Naujocks and Walter Schellenberg , the arrest of the English secret agents took place.

The Venlo incident made large parts of the British spy network in Western and Central Europe almost worthless and led to the resignation of the Dutch intelligence chief. In the following meeting between Walter Schellenberg and German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop said:

"The Führer is firmly convinced that the Venlo material has proved the Dutch government's breach of neutrality in favor of Great Britain, and he wishes to have a report on it."

For this reason, half a year later, in May 1940, with the Western campaign, the German invasion of the Netherlands took place, the alleged neutrality of which had become implausible because of the cooperation with the English Secret Service.

The findings from the arrest of the two agents also provided valuable evidence for the later planned Operation Sea Lion.

In a biography of British intelligence officer Sigismund Payne Best , a Dutch friend of Best describes how Georg Elser received RM 4,000 in Zurich to assassinate Hitler. Otto Strasser , who was also accused by the National Socialist press as a mastermind Elsers, had threaded the meeting. The Dutchman Henri A. Bulhof refers to the diaries of Best, who had also been involved in the Venlo incident.

It was only 70 years after the incident in 2009 that the British government ventured to publish the British Foreign Ministry's "Venlo Incident" dossier, which was originally closed until 2015. Due to an oversight, the blocking period expired prematurely. This secret file shows that at that time the English actually assumed that they were dealing with alleged Hitlerite opponents and wanted to meet them at Venlo. Also from this an actual involvement in the bourgeois bail by the English secret service is apparent. However, it is proposed to deny this publicly vehemently.

In addition, the pamphlet reveals the hatred of the then British leadership towards the German government and the heartfelt desire to destabilize Germany's domestic and foreign policy by supporting a military coup.

The real question is why didn't the Germans harness the power of airborne troops after Crete?

I;m posting this to inform other people that Germany never invaded any country without a reason. There was no desire for global domination or any of that, Germany needed to invade and occupy in self defense.

>self-defence
wouldn't say that but Germany was morally justified with expanding in the East.

Wouldn't say that? Why? Can't let, in this case, France and the UK invade us through other countries.

>Germany never invaded any country without a reason

yes this is true, there was always a very good reason and the only option that could have protected Germany unfortunately was to invade these countries.

give back the bikes kanker moffen, reparations now

Too pussy to actually invade you before declaring war, and the French were too pussy to even go through with the Saar offensive.

You shouldn't have allowed the British to let them advance into our country through your country. Same goes for Belgium.

also reminder
>The French authorized the invasion before Germany invaded Poland

>The arrest was the direct consequence of the civil bourgeoisie committed the day before to Hitler by the assassin Georg Elser . Already weeks before, the Gestapo under Walter Schellenberg had learned through radio communications of a supposed German "opposition" with the English secret service that now - after the German campaign successful in Poland - a violent overthrow of the German government by England, who had declared war on Germany, had been planned.

I'll say again, they were too pussy to cast the first stone. Everyone has plans, fuck, even the mutts have plans to invade us, and vice versa.

Point is, Germany needed to invade and occupy the lower countries before England would.

If only you fags won the Battle of Britain

we declared war on you? Fuck off kraut.

this is why we shot down a british bomber above rotterdam a day before the invasion . oh wait

You dirty little kikes pretended to be neutral, meanwhile you were negotiating with a country that had declared war on us to invade us through YOUR country. Really never heard of the Venlo incident? No because you and your people are ashamed and emberassed about it.

so thats the only justification? try harder. We even let you guys build our new battlecruisers, wich never where delivered. So japan could steamrol the east indies and put aryans into camps.. fucking krauts are a hypocrytical disgrace.

We caught you like the sneaky little rats you were and we bombed you for it. Don't ever try something like that again.

No brother fight guys..

Yes our government was at fault, the bombings were justified, but we are also Germanic and we need to work together. I would have loved to see a greater Germanic Reich with Germany annexing us and all other Germanic countries.

Why Netherlands always choses wrong?

Then, they sided with England and it got them the dismantling of their oversea empire and flooding with savages now.

Now, they side with German-EU and it gets them savages x10 and soon the dismantling of their nation, sovereignity and ethnic core

Faggot, we should have burned your whole country to the ground

Get fucked mutt.

nigger

Is this satire? You cant be seriously asking this question. Wherever the Fallschirmjäger got deployed in Greece suffered unbelievable losses.
>Deploy Fallschirmjäger to capture the Corinth isthmus bridge so that you can chase the allies.
>One full division lands in water and drowns.
>Capture the bridge anyways
>Manage to accidentaly detonate explosives on said bridge, heavily damaging it.
>Deploy Fallschirmjäger to the almost uninhabitted island of Leros. Lose 67 men to a dozen of farmers armed with 1800s flintlocks
>Thisisfine.jpg
>Deploy 22000 Fallschirmjäger to Crete. Lose 3500 of them in the first 9 days. Another 3500 wounded.
Germans like to shit on the Italians for losing to us but the hard truth is that if the government in Athens hadnt capitulated(fuckin brits and their Egypt plan) these autists would have bled a lot more. When the capitulation came Germans were still attacking in the greek-bulgarian border trying to take fortified positions like fort Rupel
>1 panzer division 2 mountain divisions, 3 infantry divisions, 1 elite infantry regiment(wolfhunters iirc) and around 700 aircraft vs 1600 greek conscripts in the forts
>bomb the shit out of the forts for 9 days
>forts still standing
>lose 3k men in the process
>nevermind the English are of genius. They are retreating with greek gov to egypt
>Germany so strong. Gonna put my flag on Parthenon now.
Absolute jokefest. Hitler was just traumatised of the high losses and deemed airborn operations to be way too costly.His generals argued otherwise but meh. Quick note,some of his generals were also against the airborne operation at Crete and proposed a naval invasion instead.

No shit you retard, but we proved how valuable they were. Get the fuck out of here, you silly fuck.

They should have painted their skin black and landed in rubber rafts, then you'd welcome them with open arms.

Nah, we weren't neutral at all.
Far too many kikes in Amsterdam for that.
Our teachers spout so much shit that's simply untrue, but would you believe them on this?

Stop saying you were neutral, because you weren't. If so, then why the fuck did you negotiate with the Brits behind our back?

They proved exactly the opposite cause they were used wrong. Mountainous islands while the sea supply routes were not secured. Listen Chang. I know you cucks dont serve in the amry so let me educate you a bit. Protip hunting moose with your Ar doesnt qualify for military understanding. You are like a nigger that flaunts his diamond rings pretending to matter. Paratroopers are not regular troops. I repeat NOT your run of the mill troops. They take insane amount of resources and time to train and equip. Losing almost 1/3 of your valuable troops in 9 fucking days and failing your objective(almost the enterity of the allied divisions evaded the germans and escaped unscathed to Egypt) is a colossal fuck up. They should have never been used this way and in that terrain. Now if they used them against some anglo cucks in the flatlands i m sure they would have had better success. Instead Hitler got ptsd and never used them again. Sleep tight and save up for that celery.
The ones mama Merkel dicates i pet around in camps and supply her with monthly while she pays for all of it?

>They proved exactly the opposite cause they were used wrong.
>used wrong
now you're getting it
