In the GF, when Clemenza is showing Michael how to use the gun, in his conversation he says You know you got to stop them at the beginning, like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, they should never've let him get away with that
I never gave that statement much thought. I figured it had something to do with the war. BUT, now I know different and it was an eye-opener to me. I'm reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," and it explains that Hitler was planning to take over parts of Czechoslovakia in October of 1938. To make a long story short...at a conference in Munich with Britian, France and Italy, it is agreed to let Hitler "take back" the Sudetenland of Czech. and in effect allow Hitler in Czechoslovakia. If Britian and France resisted and Hitler went to war over it, historians say he would have been easily defeated. Also at the same time, there was a plot by the German generals to overthrow Hitler if he wanted to go to war over Czech. Britian and France conceded the territory, no war ensued and the generals backed down. Hence, "they should have stopped Hitler at Munich."

As much as anything Clemenza is saying they have to strike before Sollozzo gains more power and becomes stronger. If they wait, he will become harder and harder to defeat.
