    That book would inform him that if he starts a war to expand Germany, the actual result will be to make Germany a lot smaller, divided into a liberal and a communist state (until the communist one gets absorbed into the liberal one), and him remembered as possibly the worst person to have ever lived.

      Pretty sure he’d only wonder what he did “wrong” during his years in charge, if the book doesn’t dive into that detail, and try something different. He’d probably feel even more infatuated with his idea of “glorious aryan german nationalism” if the book mentions, even by passing, that the werhmacht quickly beat France into submission.
