Kidvett:
From what my father told me about the speaches that were relayed and played here in the states, Hitler was ready to start a war in the early 30s.
If you read his "Mein Kampf", you will see that his entire foreign policy was based on war as the method of acquisition of land for the Germans in the Slavic East.
As to your question regarding salt vs rust, please compare the time necessary for a proper job for both. This should answer your question.
