So what do you call these if not excuses for the Germany's defeat?
Are you that?
That's why I mentioned Alzheimer's.
Reason: a statement presented in justification or explanation of a belief or action:
I am NOT giving excuses for Germany's defeat, because what I'm saying isn't a "plea offered in extenuation of a fault". And because I'm not bloody German, so I don't have to give excuses. What I'm giving is reasons for Germany's defeat. "A statement presented in...explanation of a belief...". And my belief is that Germany could have won the war if it wasn't for Hitler. Notice the difference?
The past is a foreign country.
