Hardly, the blitzkreig hunger to conquer broke that tactic.
The strategy of giving in to some of Hitler's demands, known as appeasement, was based on the belief that by satisfying his territorial claims and grievances, it would prevent further aggression and maintain peace. This approach aimed to avoid war, especially after the devastating World War I, and buy time for rearmament and preparation for future conflicts. However, appeasement ultimately failed to deter Hitler's ambitions and only emboldened him to pursue further territorial expansion.
It was an attempt to avoid war. Nobody wanted to go through all of that death and destruction, yet when an enemy is intent on destroying you, you must fight. In the case of Germany, they were intent on ruling all of Europe and eventually the world. No amount of appeasement would have deterred Hitler. He believed it to be the Aryan right. It's a lesson we should have learned. No amount of appeasement will deter radical Islam. They too are intent on ruling the world.
Massive retaliation was a military doctrine adopted by the United States during the Cold War, where any aggression or threat against the US or its allies would be met with a massive nuclear response. This policy aimed to deter adversaries from attacking by demonstrating the willingness to use overwhelming force in retaliation.
