>>17821339There's no other way to act with someone not arguing in good faith
>>17821480>Why not? Because by 25th of April Berlin was surrounded and even before that it was shelled to smithers. The reality that anyone can just walk away, especially five little children, is pure fantasy.
>Literally any of those would have been safe, safer than Berlin.This is Germany a few days prior to its surrender. Explain to me the safe path to reaching said locations. Especially given that communications across have completely been broken down at this point and you'd have no information on where to go, what roads to take, etc.
>Yeah, because he had already said he would since before.Yes, but most outside of him believed that the situation could still change.
>It still doesnt explain why his children had ro be there sharing the risk that Steiner might not succeed.Because they'd share the risk regardless. Goebbels wasn't leaving Hitler, Magda wasn't either, they can't rely to give their children to someone else that might sell them out for a few shekels and they have no idea what would await them. You might call them paranoid, but that is what they thought at the time. It's the same reason why Hitler killed the most precious thing to him at the time in Blondi. He couldn't bear the thought of what they'd do to him if he was captured. Now whether they WOULD HAVE done anything isn't the point here, it is not knowing that is important.
>Still doesnt explain why the children had to be there instead of somewhere actually safe.Where would they be?
>So why was the children there?You're like a broken record. The children were there because their parents were there. Goering, Himmler and Speer's children weren't there because their parents weren't there. It's that simple. If Goebbels was in North Italy or something instead of staying in the Fuhrerbunker, they'd be there instead.
