Fascinating!
For another great take on the Treaty of Versailles and its frightening consequences for the subsequent decades, do have a look at my wonderful new book, "A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price We Pay Today" [ www.shatteredpeace.com ] ... available through Amazon and most bookstores !
I'd also be delighted to chat with the class via phone or video hookup if you like!
All the best,
