Rogers, The Price of Victory).So, pace Churchill's rants, the real moral isn't that the allies weren't prepared for #WW2 (remember that the Spitfire and radar were also pre-war innovations, for example).  The moral is that spending a lot of money on weapons — during a global depression, no less — didn't prevent war from happening and didn't make the allied generals and admirals any smarter. 🫤#history #militaryHistory #nonViolence]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/01296be7-39d8-41eb-94a4-d19a12979210/conventional-narrative-during-the-1930s-the-uk-under-pms-baldwin-and-chamberlain-got-complacent-and-obsessed-with-reducing-military-spending-while-germany-and-japan-built-their-military-machines.</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/01296be7-39d8-41eb-94a4-d19a12979210/conventional-narrative-during-the-1930s-the-uk-under-pms-baldwin-and-chamberlain-got-complacent-and-obsessed-with-reducing-military-spending-while-germany-and-japan-built-their-military-machines.</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[david_megginson@mstdn.ca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
