Victor Davis Hanson: WWII Revisionists Went Too Far With 'We Should’ve Sided With Hitler' Claim

Should America have sided with Hitler in World War II? Some modern revisionists think so. Recently, a Cornell professor claimed the U.S. was on the “wrong side” of history by allying with the Soviet Union instead of Germany.

In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson dismantles three major claims behind this revisionist argument—debunking myths about Soviet treatment of American POWs, exposing the truth about Gen. George Patton’s views, and showing why the idea that siding with Hitler could have prevented the Holocaust is absurd.
