It’s meaningless filler. Until the most recent films they didn’t try and cross refer in the films. So just pick an actor and make a movie. If the story’s good we’ll all be happy.

You’re right. Of course we famously didn’t go to war over Sudetenland.

Suspect you’re right if you mean would a war have been started to stop his policies in Germany. But not sure there’s a counterfactual where he doesn’t annexe Sudetenland, and he has to go through Poland to get to the USSR.

Prepared to allow for actual Lebanese people being creative. And I quite like Hummus bil Lahmeh in a Lebanese or Turkish restaurant, with lamb sitting in the centre. Yum.
But supermarket stuff. Bleagh!
