Why was Hitler so obsessed with Prussian Nationalism and reclaiming

>>1517850
Because he was Germanic who sympathized and support his fellow Germans.

>>1517853
But Brits are also Germanic then.

>>1517850
He probably wasn't. He had to pander to Prussian feelings to get the military elite on his side.

>>1517868
Hitler never wanted war with the British.

Not Prussian lands, German ones. Sure, those Germans considered themselves Prussian, but after 1871 Prussia became a part of Germany,

Not to mention that his ambition reached a little further then only the historically geerman lands.

He was though. Frederick the Great was even his personal hero.

>>1517850
He ran out of Austrian-Bavarian lands to reclaim.

Which is a bit ironic since old Fritz was gay

The only thing Hitler liked about Prussia was it's militarism. He hated everything else about it.

Pretty terrible at grand strategy just like Hitler though.

>>1517850
He, like Bismarck, wanted to unite the German people under one flag. This extended to Germanics as well, those whom he felt were in line with the Germanic mentality and were compatible with his vision of society according to his racial theory of behavior.

>>1518169
His vision was modeled more on America than Bismarck. Nazis, being from the 20th century, cared less about "Germanics" than becoming the next America, i.e. a sizeable country with a viable domestic market, and saw eastward expansion as its own Manifest Destiny.
The nationalist rhetoric was just thrown into appease the plebs and, apparently, it's still working.

a lot easier to conquer the stone age with cannon then it is russia.

Agreed, I was just making the point of Greater Deutschland to OP.
