This chapter examines the interplay of human nature and historical context in Hitler's rise and Nazi Germany's actions through the lens of offensive realism. It contrasts Hitler's personality traits with structural factors contributing to the era's atrocities, while exploring military strategies and resistance during World War II. The discussion extends to contemporary implications, analyzing the motivations behind Russia's invasion of Ukraine and challenging traditional narratives surrounding the conflict.
