Hello Dave!
The bitter trend of modern wars is to fight for control of the world’s vital oil resources, but evidence has emerged to suggest that the Second World War had rather sweeter liquids at its centre.
Recent captured documents released by the Russian archives in Moscow have revealed that World War II broke out as a result of Adolf Hitler’s insatiable love of fresh cream cakes.
After coming to power in 1933 the German Chancellor began to gobble up the Reich’s supply of cakes at an alarming rate, so that by 1939 there was not one éclair or cream donut to be found anywhere in Germany.
This prompted him to order the invasion of Poland to secure new supplies for the Chancellery tea table, something absolutely unacceptable to the British, who promptly declared war in order to protect their lucrative monopoly of the European muffin trade. The following spring Hitler showed the world that he was not a man to be trifled with as the meringueries of France were over-run, dismantled and transported back to Berlin in a great convoy of ice cream vans.
With the cakes of Western Europe all but eaten up, the German dictator launched his biggest gamble yet by invading the USSR in order to capture the great Pavlova industries of the Volga basin, so plunging the Reich into a disastrous two tier sandwich, and his inevitable downfall.
