It's a serious question. Can you not answer it?
The official narrative is that Hitler was a genius but utterly retarded megalomaniac that wanted to conquer the entirety of Europe with a nation that wasn't even ready for a war with Poland and the Allies and Soviets only wanted to stop him.
Just like the Ukraine war is solely caused by Putins expansionists ambitions and the West only wants to save Ukraine.
Fortunately for him, the Poles - and French - were even less ready for war than the Wehrmacht. But this narrative isn't that far off. At the very least, he wanted to expand into eastern Europe and the USSR, cleanse the population there by starvation or massacres, and settle Germans there.
He may not have the intention of going West, but Realpolitk takes balance of power into account for a reason: a Germany that has gobbled up even the western parts of the USSR would be unstoppable. Even the USSR itself, with basically the territory that Germany was aiming at, would have been unstoppable, despite a counterproductive economic system.
Putin isn't Hitler though. And he's aiming only at historic Russian lands.
Only in the sense that the Poles and French military and political leadership were utterly incompetent. The Poles weren't ready for an invasion and the French were too dumb to consider that the Germans wouldn't just yolo into the Maginot Line. The Wehrmacht was severely outgunned and outnumbered compared to the enemies it was facing.
That's the official narrative that you seem to think doesn't exist.
He does? Funny, the media propaganda tells me that if Ukraine doesn't stop Putler he's gonna invade the rest of Europe. But I guess half of Europe are "historic Russian lands".
Obviously they knew that. They also did not expect the Von Manstein plan, which ironically came to be because the Germans' first set of plans were discovered. They would have lost with their initial, less risky plan.
Only compared to the French. Poland was no match. And the Red Army was only a match in terms of numbers and materiel, which were quickly captured and destroyed due to superior leadership and morale.
No... that is General Plan Ost and Hitler's stated intention. Apparently, that's the "official narrative".
Obviously, the media lies. Compare that to Hitler, and he had gone beyond historic German lands even before Poland, with the occupation of Czechoslovakia.
