    Stalin wanted to bring the communism to West Europe and encircle it military. His last demands 1940 in Berlin :
    "Molotov stubbornly insisted on his demands: free hand in Finland and Romania, protectorate over Bulgaria, bases on the Bosporus. Hitler denied, even threatening bluntly that he would not tolerate a new war against Finland. Molotov specified this in this final meeting The Soviet Union had extensive interest in the Balkans - including Hungary, Yugoslavia and Greece; he wanted to know what Germany was planning to do with Poland, questioned Swedish neutrality and brought the Danish Straits into play. Stalin had announced his price of the Soviet - German pact."
    " Under the impression produced by Molotov’s insistence on Soviet rights,Hitler had told Göring that he was confirmed in his decision to attack the Soviet Union .‘The decision over European hegemony will be made in the struggle against Russia." ( Hitler-Stalin Parallel Lives" A. Bullock)

    • @krohnhardt
      @krohnhardt Před měsícem +4

      Stalin-Molotov's demands meant nothing less than the cancellation of the German-Soviet friendship pact. Molotov even said directly that the Soviets regarded the 1939 pact as practically non-existent. This was a deliberate threat and disregard for Germany and its sphere of interest in Europe. This was the reason for Hitler's attack, which was pre-emptive, and not his alleged greed for "Lebensraum".

      And Germans waged so called Der Vernichtungskrieg (War on Destruction) on the Eastern Front. This was absolutely no match for the war in the West. The French losing the war with Hitler lost their statehood, essentially, but there was never a perspective for their extermination as a nation. In the East Germans envisaged the death of thirty million Russians only at the first stage of occupation. With a perspective of totally substituting the Russian population by the German one in a period of roughly one hundred years. For Russians it was literally the war for survival.

    Operation Barbarossa was nothing to do with racial superiority or any other justification such as Liebensraum[living space]. This did not apply to the invasion of the Soviet Union, because by April 1941 the Reds had 170 divisions of soldiers just waiting at Europe's eastern front, ready to invade. Barbarossa was an attempt to destroy the threat of Bolshevism forever.. also it wasn't just Germany. It was a 6 nation attack : including the armies of Finland, Romania, Hungary, Italy[60,000], Croatia and 47,000 Spanish soldiers[the Republican side was sponsored by the Soviet union during the bloody Spanish civil war so even though Spain was neutral during World War 2, General Franco knew about the dangers of the communist Reds]... there were also 2 divisions of Belgian troops going into Russia... the Waffen SS were the ideological shock troops of Europe at this time and were the first truly multi-national European army..

      It became Hitler’s obsession during 1942. Bc he wouldn’t let his armies retreat and regroup. He forced them to overextend their supply lines and have to face the winter unprepared.

    As for M-R pact, one hasn't to forget that it was signed only after many months' tripartite talks between USSR on one side and Britain and France, on the other these talks had been absolutely fruitless, first and foremost because western delegation had no authority for signing a biding agreement. The stance of the British delegation was even more harder: it had a specific instruction not to tell anything significant to the Soviet side. Maybe Stalin was paranoid, but he certainly felt scam and treachery.

    As for Marshal Tukhachevskiy. Don't overestimate him as an capable army commander. Essentially, he was a lieutenant of WW1, who was captured as a POW in the beginning of the war and could escape only at the end of it. So he had practically no expirience of the Great War with its millions sized armies. All his expirience was with the Civil War but it was a very peculiar war. The Reds managed to mobilise up to 10 mln people into the Red Army, which was far far more than the Whites. But the trick was that they have at any given moment only armies the size of tens of thousands at most. Why? Because of incessant mass desertions. You can't install a real discipline in the civil war, it's impossible. So there were numerous cases when one and the same man was drafted several times in the Red Army and in the meantime he even managed to serve in this or that White Army! Add to that the fact that the Civil War was led with mainly small arms (even machine guns were in short supply) and light field artillery. No aircraft and tanks in single numbers. That wasn't the experience for the future big war

    Germany certainly did not have the greatest military of all time, that's just ignorant. They didn't even have the greatest military at that time obviously, unless they won the war and I'm mistaken. They defeated Poland only because the Soviets invaded Poland at the same time. They defeated France because the French generals were 100 years old and brain dead. Other than that, who did they defeat? The answer is NOBODY. The US had by far the greatest military, and kicked them around like a cat toy when they got there. Greatest military ever, maybe the most stylish when they marched. Stylish fancy boys, that's something to be proud of.

    My grand father was in the waffen SS 1940-45. He said he was so sorry for cooking
    GEWS in the ovens.
    He said poor GEWSS where baked like bagels.
    He said he was just having a good time trying to chill out. He said too bad they
    did not have micro wave ovens back then. It would of been faster.
    .. Grand pa cracks me up when he laughs about all the baking they did. I laugh
    too.
    You go Grand ..pa...keep baking them....ha....ha....ha...!!
