Tucker Carlson is declared as the winner for the 2026 Golden Goebbels propaganda award.
Tucker: "UK joined the war, you were not attacked."
- The UK had a defense pact with Poland, which was the reason why it declared war on Germany when it invaded Poland.
Tucker: "Hitler said 15% of Germany was given to Poland in 1918, which is true and was the justification for his invasion of Poland."
- Almost all of that "15% of Germany" was literally Polish territory going back hundreds of years and which was stolen by Prussia at the end of the 18th century when Poland was partitioned and destroyed by its neighbors.
Tucker: "Hitler didn't want to go to war with the UK."
- Hitler's actual intention was to invade the UK and enslave its population in 1940 with operation "Sea Lion", a planned amphibious invasion of Britain, which never happened only because the Luftwaffe failed to defeat the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain.
