I guess I was surprised to find out, how oblivious people were in 1939, just months before the war actually started. The normalcy bias is strong. I still don't know what to take from it, though.
I don't want to draw any conclusions from the screenshots I'm going to present to you. They are not necessarily indicative of anything. History does not repeat itself exactly and parallels are often seemingly similar only. However, I still believe that this is interesting enough for you to see.
