Namely the fact that western countries, monarchs, corporations were more than willing to either help the German war machine or turn a blind eye to their expansion leading up to the first invasions and military incursions. They all watched or made business deals with the Nazi government for years beforehand as the German military, navy and air force built and expanded. Then everyone acted surprised and shocked when the Germans suddenly started attacking countries.
This is the equivalent of selling gasoline and napalm to a known arsonist and then acting surprised that they burnt down a church.
