Washington Post: If you did not know this - the USSR defeated Nazi Germany

102
The American newspaper writes about the anniversary of the beginning of the Soviet offensive 1941 of the year in the Battle of Moscow [material from December 5] - the battle that ended with the first major defeat of Nazi Germany. The Washington Post adds that this battle may have been the most important (turning point) of World War II in Europe.

"This is a day to remember the enormous losses that the Russian and other peoples under Soviet rule suffered in the war, and to recognize their central role in the victory of the Allies".



This opinion was expressed by Matthew Leno in his article posted by the above-mentioned American edition. Her translation is presented below. Some passages in WP are at least surprising.

Washington Post: If you did not know this - the USSR defeated Nazi Germany

Ceremonial march on Red Square on November 7 2014 of the year


In the two years preceding the battle of Moscow, German troops won rapid victories in Poland, Norway, France and the Balkans, giving Adolf Hitler power over Europe. Joseph Stalin, fearing Germany and hoping to avoid war, signed a non-aggression pact with the Nazi leader in 1939 and helped him crush Poland. But Hitler's ultimate goal was the USSR, which he considered to be the center of the “Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy,” who intended to rule the world. 22 June 1941, Germany attacked the Soviet Union.

In the first five months of the invasion, German troops constantly inflicted disastrous defeats on the Red Army. Soviet military power was listed only on paper, most of its equipment was outdated, training was often conducted very poorly, there were not enough critical means — radio, optics, and even maps of their own territory. By early December, total losses in the USSR were approaching 3 to millions, American and British intelligence feared that the Soviet Union might collapse in a few weeks.

That was the moment when Soviet General George Zhukov decided to strike back. In one month of the desperate battle near Moscow, the Germans were thrown 100 miles from the capital. She demonstrated the absolute limits of human endurance. Soldiers on both sides often survived, feeding on the flesh of dead horses and frozen potatoes found in the fields. One of the Red Army men, arrested by the "secret police," as a "defeatist," wrote:

We fight for villages and forests ... [our officers] lead us like cattle ... winter struck us, cold, hunger and typhoid.


16 December A German soldier who escaped from Soviet captivity told his intelligence officer that a drunken Red Army group lost in the snowy expanses and left without a commander killed the prisoners of war and ate their liver and lungs.

But the battle for Moscow also reminds us of the truth that many Americans do not know: it was the Soviet Union that made the biggest contribution to the defeat of Nazi Germany. The USSR suffered the greatest losses than any other ally: 11 millions of military dead and 16 millions more civilians. Between the years of 1941 and 1945, it was the Soviets that fought with most of the German armed forces and caused them maximum losses. The defeat of Nazi Germany - the merit of the USSR

The high price of war has changed Soviet strategic thinking and continues to influence Russian international politics. The USSR dominated Eastern Europe for 40 years, partly in order to have a buffer zone covering up from a possible attack from the West. The current Russian concerns about a possible expansion of NATO at the expense of Ukraine have similar roots, although Putin’s aggression in the region is clearly unfounded.

For Americans, it is important to recognize and take into account these realities. Russians are keenly aware that the scale of their victims is not understood in the United States. Indeed, Vladimir Putin’s regime gained popularity in part because of the resentment of the Russians that their country was not respected in the world, and their story remains misunderstood. Therefore, in order to improve Russian-American relations, it is necessary to pay tribute to the overwhelming contribution of Soviet citizens to victory in World War II, which will help to calm this feeling of bitterness.

      "This is a day to remember the enormous losses suffered by the Russians and other peoples under Soviet rule in the war and to recognize their central role in the Allied victory."

      What a bastard! Yes, their one invitation to the Victory Day Parade in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 thrills. With the passage of military equipment they begin to beat convulsions. The immortal march erases all the jewelry they have stuck around the enormous role of the Allies in the victory over Nazi Germany. Mad dogs at the sight of the St. George Ribbon begin to rush at everyone in a row.
      Yes, such a confession is worse than a public slap in the face ... Without them, we would not know with whom our fathers and grandfathers fought and what "American aid" is.

        Because for the West, Russians have always been barbarians. And nobody there is confused by the fact that Slavic civilization has several thousand years of its history. Despite the fact that our Bolshoi Theater is older than the general state of the United States.
        We are shown to the western man in the street exactly as barbarians, non-humans who are "capable of people and eat" as well. A deceitful move by Western propaganda.

    "... lost in the snowy expanses and left without a commander, she killed the prisoners of war and ate their liver and lungs."
    If we set aside the "honesty" of Goebbels' propaganda, aimed at making the Germans hate the Russians, and soldiers, including - it is better to fight to the last than to be captured by cannibals. Americans are generally more inclined to believe the Nazis as being close in spirit. Remember the episode when the blacks from the military police, escorting the SS, were not allowed into the dining room where the Nazis dined (a white black is not a comrade). The abolition of segregation in the United States was after the flight into space of Yuri Gagarin, and in fact - after the assassination of Martin Luther King. During the war, the United States supplied Hitler with strategic materials through Portugal and Spain, as well as Sweden.
    But remembering how the Japanese ate American and Australian (British) prisoners alive (they especially liked to cut off the breasts of living nurses) is not comme il faut. By the way, what kind of tastes does a German have? Lungs ... However, sausages also love blood sausage. By the way, about food. Some call their neighbors "macaroni", the neighbors say: "paddling pools". Yesterday I heard that in Spain Russians are still called "turnips", although we switched to potatoes long ago (however, "it's easier than a steamed turnip"). Anyway,

    6 December A German soldier who escaped from Soviet captivity told his intelligence officer that a drunken Red Army group lost in the snowy expanses and left without a commander killed the prisoners of war and ate their liver and lungs.

    What only xren pin dos do not come up with !!!
    Even in the besieged Leningrad there wasn’t such rats of spruce, cats and dogs, but only thugs ate food. So no one counts them for people. Here, about the military personnel, the soldiers talk that after the loss of the commander decided to eat prisoners. Ours does not drink so much. fool negative

      (But Hitler's ultimate goal was the USSR, which he considered the center of the "Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy")
      Rather, about anti-Semitism, if Jewish organizations and lobbyists in the US Congress see such a characteristic, they will certainly announce the bloating of anti-Semitism.

      An amazing site where comments are written exclusively from the standpoint of pessimism and populism. If about Russia and especially about Putin, discontent and indignation are below the plinth. Also, if there is the same discontent about the USA, not only is it outrage. And nothing more and no thoughts are expressed. Bravado bordering on fear and reckless hatred. And another oddity is that no references are made to the sources of articles or the authors are reported as if it were post-Soviet agitation.

      What is "post-Soviet propaganda"?

    In the early 90s, an Israeli teacher was very surprised when she learned about the defeat of the Kwantung Army by the forces of the Red Army. In the lesson, she tried to tell us that the Russian participation in the defeat of Japan was symbolic.
    As for the role of the USSR in defeating Hitler, everything was taught correctly, the students were already surprised at this.

    Our "article writers" are not far behind. Who cares to read "The first victory in the battle for Moscow" by a certain A. Khokhlov in the newspaper Vechernyaya Moskva №185 dated 8.10.18/4/34 there is such fierce nonsense in half of the article ... The author has 4 T-XNUMX tanks driving the XNUMXth tank division as much as Guderian himself! Which recklessly crushes our infantry surrounded in an open field with tanks ...
    What then to ask from those overseas?

    An amazingly reliable source! Infa, presumably, from Dr. Goebbels? By the way, samurai often ate the liver of prisoners. Here, after all, how convenient: if the blow "o-kesa" is applied from right to left, the upper half of the body falls, and the lower half of the body stands on its feet - don't yawn here, pull out the liver with your left hand and eat, right in battle! Well, this is civilized Japan, not some bastard Russia!

    I congratulate all the people who once lived in the USSR on the beginning of the Red Army offensive in the battle of Moscow. Zhukov had an excellent operation to defeat the Nazis.
    He also saved Leningrad when he rebuilt the defense structure of Leningrad in 10 days from September 9, 1941. And on December 9, our people will celebrate the defeat of the Nazis near Tikhvin and the liberation of this city from the Nazis (the Nazis were there for two months). On this topic, I published in "VO" with the consent of the abbot of the Tikhvin monastery a documentary article "Wandering and the return of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God." Read interest, you will not regret it.

      There is no such article for the fifth of December 18, as there is no author with the same name, Matthew Leno
      I found only this one, with such a heading and dated May 8, 2015. Do not forget how the Soviet Union saved the world from Hitler. Posted by Ishaan Tharoor, correspondent for The Washington Post, on international relations and US foreign policy. Previously worked in TIME magazine as a senior editor - first in Hong Kong and later in New York. He is the son of the Indian politician Shashi Tharoor. He graduated from Yale University in 2006.
      In this article, preference is given to the USSR in the fight against German fascism.

    Amerikosy, as always, in their own way! It would be better if they didn’t write anything! And here! To expose the Russian army to drunken vacations! They were afraid for what? That Hitler would triumph over the USSR? They wouldn’t be against it! Otherwise they wouldn’t allow it! Britain and America just waited for our more to be killed if the USSR didn’t please them. They opened the 2nd front only when they realized that it was no longer possible to lose time. They had their own interests. Putin’s aggression? Everyone knows that America is pursuing such a policy and we have to defend it. Do we disrespect our country in the world? Well, if only they call their America the world, then maybe she does everything for this. It is an abomination and not an article! In general, in almost every American action movie I just see that they drag Russians in like gangsters or just negative people! In the subconscious, the abandoned phrase remains forever as an opinion about the whole people as a whole! And they make good use of it! And then the sacred is hurt! The heroic feat of the people! They gave their lives for freedom from destruction! Where can they understand this? Either write well or not! Here is my opinion!

    I talked somehow with American naval sailors (they are not politicians) over a cup of "tea", they all know and understand very well about the Second World War and the USSR tab, and they are quite sane guys .. And they are not stupid like the ace they like to say, they are just different (mentality) ... And no matter how much I did not communicate with different foreigners with Americans, the easiest way with them is to find a common language ..

    The author "forgot" to write that the allies entered defeated Europe only to participate in the carve-up of the post-war world order! Well, at least they wrote something and that's not bad, although the author is right, some passages cause, to put it mildly, questions.

    Therefore, to improve Russian-American relations, it is necessary to pay tribute to the overwhelming contribution of Soviet citizens to the victory in World War II, which will soothe this feeling of bitterness.

    That's it! Like, let's say to these Russians what they want to hear, “calm down” them, and then we'll do whatever we want ...
    To normalize relations, you do not have to poke your nose out of your business.
    And what the hell to me their recognition ?! They know the story - well, they don’t know - I do not care about them! The main thing for me is that my children and the children of their children know about the Feat!

    Yes, the Anglo-Saxons thoroughly distorted our history, attributing the victories of our grandfathers and our fathers to ourselves. And the author, no doubt an honest man, is still confused in this intricate combination of lies and truths about the Great Patriotic War, although he said the main thing as it was.

    It is interesting, where did the Red Army soldiers who left without commanders took vodka on the snowy expanses? Probably the same place where millions of raped Germans came from.
