The myth of the "preemptive" strike of the Reich was created by Hitler and Goebbels

198

One of the methods of information-psychological war of the West against Russia, designed to put our people and our state on a par with the Nazi criminals, the instigators of the Second World War, was the myth of the outbreak of war by Hitler, as a preventive strike. They say that Berlin just wanted to prevent the attack of the Soviet Union on it, delivered a preemptive strike against the Soviet troops already prepared for the attack.

So, holding the speech in November 1941 in Munich in front of his old party colleagues, Adolf Hitler said the following: “From April to May ... I followed all the processes, full of determination at any moment, as soon as it became clear to me that the enemy was preparing to attack , if necessary, get ahead of it by 24 hours. In mid-June, the signs became threatening, and in the second half of June, there was no doubt that we were talking about weeks or even days. And then I gave the order to speak on June 22. ” According to A. Hitler, it was the most difficult decision in his life, but he was forced to take it, as there are more chances to win if you hit before the Union.

But this is just a myth that refutes a number of facts, one of them is a comparative analysis of the military-strategic plans that were developed at that time in Berlin and in Moscow. So, German developments are all “saturated” with the ideas of “lightning war”, “onslaught on the East”. In Berlin in December 1940, the famous Barbarossa plan was approved, which outlined the general plan for waging war against the Soviet Union. His main idea is a “lightning war”, the Wehrmacht had to solve the “problem” of the USSR in no more than 5 months and move on to solving the problem with regard to Great Britain. The troops were to go to the Arkhangelsk-Volga line, capturing the Baltic states, Leningrad, Belarus, Ukraine, the Central region with Moscow, the North Caucasus. Ural industrial area was to be reachable for action aviation, on this the main campaign was supposed to end. They planned to complete preparations for the war by mid-May 1941, by which time the Wehrmacht should have had enough forces to wage a “lightning war”. A whole bloc was put together against the Union, consisting of Italy, Finland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Croatia joined them, France supported the government of Vichy, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. Berlin had almost all of Europe’s military and economic potential for a “lightning strike” with all the power combined under the power of the black swastika of Europe.

That is, Berlin struck during the Wehrmacht’s maximum readiness, the Barbarossa plan was carried out punctually. Colossal work was done to prepare the infrastructure, for example, on May 7, the Chief of the General Staff of the Reich Ground Forces, Colonel-General F. Halder, made the following entry in his Military Journal: “The state of the railways and highways for Operation Barbarossa is satisfactory. Concentration on the plan "Barbarossa": 17 thousand trains. After the transfer of troops is completed, the transportation of reserves will begin. ” 12 May Halder writes: "In the army groups" North "and" Center "basically everything that we planned was done." From 22 May, the railways have moved to an accelerated traffic schedule. At the same time, Moscow was “thrown” with misinformation messages - about regrouping troops for the operation against England, about the proximity of the talks between Moscow and Berlin, etc. At the end of May and beginning of June, the exact time of the strike was approved.

In the evening of June 20, Hitler appealed to the troops about the allegedly forced nature of the actions of Germany, which "responded" to the "concentration of Russian troops on the eastern border of the Third Reich." Moreover, the Fuhrer brazenly lied about the "constant violations of the border" by the USSR (it was just the opposite), that a few weeks ago, "there was not a single German border on our eastern border tank or motorized division. " Having formulated the "modern" myth that Germany opposed the "conspiracy of the Jewish-Anglo-Saxon arsonists and the Jewish rulers of the Bolshevik center in Moscow."

And on June 22, the German ambassador to the USSR, V. Schulenburg, presented Molotov with a document on the beginning of the war, he was also accused of large-scale preparation of the war against the Third Reich, and it was said about the beginning of the Reich war against the Soviet Union because of the danger of striking the Germans.

A great method, it is well used and the current Western ideologues of the United States, NATO - you want to achieve something, accuse the enemy of what you are doing or plan to do. So, arranging a genocide in Iraq or Yugoslavia, fomenting a war there, the United States, NATO blamed the Serbian leaders, Saddam Hussein. That is, the current internal and external enemies of Russia use ideas created by the leaders of the Third Reich, symbolically, by their deeds, getting into the camp of aggressors, instigators of war against Russia. Although it is not superfluous for them to remember what ended up with all the leaders of the war against our Motherland, the result will be one.

USSR plans

If we study the plans of the military-political leadership of the USSR, the military changes in the Red Army, we can note the following - by June 1941, the Red Army was not in its best “form”. The rapid growth of the army, from 1,9 million in 1939 to almost 5 million to 1 in June 1941, led to the fact that the simultaneous deployment of a large number of new units and formations in a short time led to a general decrease in their material security. affected the alert. Thus, for the military actions in the initial period, it was noted that the “old” cavalry divisions, which retained the command cadres and level of training, showed high combat capability. Most of the armored, mechanized units of the Red Army were also reorganized. New lines of fortifications on the new western borders were not prepared, and fortified areas on the old borders were conserved. Due to the sharp growth of the army, the command corps also increased dramatically, and it also lacked experience and skills. There was a retraining on new equipment.

A number of mistakes and the highest military command in the person of the People’s Commissar of Defense of the Soviet Union, Marshal SK Tymoshenko (since May 1940 of the year) and Chief of the General Staff of the Army General GK Zhukov (since January 1941 of the year) have so incorrectly determined the main direction of the main attack of the Wehrmacht, they thought that the main attack would be in the south-western direction (Ukraine). Thus, when processing the operational plan in February-April of 1941, this strategic miscalculation was not corrected. The last adjustment was made in May - early June 1941 of the year, entitled “Considerations on the strategic deployment plan of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union in case of war with Germany and its allies”. 24 May this document, which is called "Zhukov's note", was discussed at a secret meeting. As a result, the opinion finally won out that the main blow would fall on Ukraine, therefore the Kiev Special Military District was allocated up to 50% of divisions on the western borders.

In this regard, there was a proposal to "preempt" the enemy in deployment, and to attack the Wehrmacht in the process of its deployment. It was envisaged that 152's Soviet divisions would crush the 100 divisions of Germany in the main direction Krakow-Katowice, and then from the Katowice area continue the offensive operation, break the Wehrmacht in the center and in the north of their front, capturing the territory of the former Poland and East Prussia. It was these ideas that became the main argument for the modern defenders of the myth of the “instigator of the war of the USSR”.

But, first, for this, the decision of the political leadership of the country was needed, but it was not; on the contrary, it wanted to delay the start of the war as soon as possible or prevent the start of the war altogether. Secondly, it was necessary to work out all the details of the operation, prepare the rear for it. Third, to create the necessary offensive groups in the right directions, which was also not done. This is just a proposal, working out one of the possible scenarios of actions of the Red Army in the event of a threat.

The truth is in real actions and documents of the Third Reich, and they say that the Hitlerites were preparing for aggression not for “pre-emption”, but for expanding “living space”, solving the “Russian question”, a step towards building their “World Order”. Hitler himself 21 July 1940, at a meeting of senior military and political leadership said: "The Russians do not want war." The German generals, the same Halder, were sure of this, intelligence reported about it - Russia would only defend itself.

Moscow did not need large-scale wars, and without that it was full of worries, and she was not ready for such a war, preparations had not yet been completed. The Soviet Union did not need "living spaces", slaves, the idea of ​​"world revolution" Stalin buried in the second half of the 20-s. The USSR needed peace.

    But what did Germany need at that moment in war ??? Not a single author, except Rezun, has yet clearly explained why, by the end of June, the main shock fist of the Red Army was located in the Bialystok ledge. In the immediate vicinity of the border. Not one author, again except Rezun, he didn’t clearly explain why Stalin went to the elimination of Poland by creating a common border with Germany. And while there is no other clear explanation of these issues, he has to adhere to his opinion. Well, and then I agree again with Rezun, what is so bad about attacking fascist germany ???? And as for the Second World War, so it began not at 41 but at 39. so the author again stuffs us with a set of meaningless propaganda phrases without the slightest fact. Article is nonsense.

          Really. The attack was not sudden. Stalin gave the order, through the People’s Commissariats another 19.06 to transfer to a higher. Then there were directives for translation in full.
          The NKVD and the Red Army took the enemy, and the Red Army in the ass. Conclusion: Tymoshenko and Zhukov, who did not want to organize a defense, are to blame.
          But Zhukov, the representative of the district from which the greatest number of traitors came out, in general .....
          As proved, during the arrest of Beria
          We will discuss Beria separately
          And Stalin created the myth of the "SUDDEN" attack by Germany and many more myths in different areas of politics and economics. This was beneficial for political reasons. Shooting NGSH at the beginning of the war is not profitable.

          And where is the myth? The Wehrmacht was mobilized and deployed, the Red Army was in the process of mobilization, stretched across the country. And although Stalin knew about the impending attack, the fact of the unpreparedness of the Red Army, the attack was sudden, and given the agreement - treacherous.

            If the Red Army was stretched across the country, then where did 1 million captured Red Army soldiers come from by December 1941, 3.8? And this is not counting the irreparable loss. I had to talk about a sudden attack, there was nothing to do.

              quote:K. Streit, the most authoritative expert on Soviet prisoners of war in the Second World War, claims that in 1941 the Wehrmacht captured 2 soldiers and commanders of the Red Army, including: Army Group North - 465, Army Group Center - 000 and Army Group South - 84. And this is only in large "boilers". In total, according to Streit's estimates, 000 million Soviet servicemen were captured by the German armed forces in 1. This represents approximately 413% ​​of the total number of Soviet prisoners of war captured in the period from June 000, 968 to May 000, 1941.
              but how did the difference in 1limon of the peopleHere we must immediately make a reservation that the German data seem to be overestimated because the declared number of prisoners often exceeds the number of armies and fronts that took part in a particular operation. The most striking example of this is the Kiev boiler. The Germans announced the capture of 665 people east of the Ukrainian capital, although the full payroll of the Southwestern Front did not exceed 000 by the time the Kiev defensive operation began. Moreover, about 627 Red Army men remained outside the encirclement ring, and about 000 more managed to get out of the "cauldron".

              and: it should be borne in mind that the Germans could include such categories of Soviet citizens as prisoners of war: captured partisans, underground workers, personnel of incomplete formations of the national militia, local air defense, fighter battalions and police, as well as railwaymen and paramilitary groups of civilian departments. Plus, a certain number of civilians hijacked for forced labor in the Reich or occupied countries, as well as those taken hostage, also got here.

              and:Here is an excerpt from the order of the command of the 2nd Tank Army of May 11, 1943:

              “When occupying individual settlements, it is necessary to immediately and suddenly capture existing men between the ages of 15 and 65, if they can be counted among those capable of carrying weapons, and send them under guard by rail to the transit camp 142 in Bryansk. , to declare that they will henceforth be considered prisoners of war, and that at the slightest attempt to escape they will be shot. "


              I advise you to study history from documents, and not from salted calculations.

                Listen, Rider, it’s not a problem to go to www.battlefield.ru/ and find your source there. The passage quoted by you says: All in all, according to Streight in 1941, 3,4 million Soviet troops were captured by the German armed forces
                And it also says that accurate calculation is difficult. So a 3.8 or 3.4 million figure is very close. This does not change the essence of the matter. In 1941, more than 3 million troops were captured. So Rezun has nothing to do with it. But why, in such a short period of time, almost the entire personnel army was lost?

          The fact that Stalin was a dictator is a myth.

          "The teacher of the German language Uvarova recalls what happened when she decided to give Vasily (Stalin) a two, and for outright rudeness: he replied to the offer to answer the lesson:" Something I don't want today ... ".
          On the same day, she was called to the director and a dialogue took place between them: - The son of Comrade Stalin is an example for all students, no matter how he studies, whether he answers the lesson or does not want to answer.
          Comrade Stalin's son is an exception to the general rule "(Quoted from: V. Kraskova, Kremlin Children. Minsk. 1998, p. 118).
          However, one of the teachers still decided to complain to his father about the son’s art. Stalin's answer is widely known, but it will be useful to cite it again.
          "For teacher Comrade Martyshin.

          I apologize. Vasily is a spoiled young man of average ability, savage, not always true, likes to blackmail the weak,
          often impudent, with a weak, or rather - an unorganized will.
          He was spoiled by all sorts of "gods" and "gossips", now and then emphasizing,

                  Subsequently, the pseudonym migrated to the documents and became a surname.

          And Stalin created myths about the destruction of civilians (children, women, old people) in the occupied territories? And the fascists did not burn entire villages with people? And there were no concentration camps in which civilians were killed along with prisoners of war? And the Germans did not have crematoria and gas chambers? And the Germans did not conduct their savage medical experiments on people? It was all there. This could only be done by those who planned an attack on another state. This cannot be prepared and implemented quickly. Or in order to "punish" the USSR, Hitler and his accomplices developed a monstrous system of exterminating the population of the occupied territories of our country?

      No author, except Rezun, has yet clearly explained why, by the end of June, the main shock fist of the Red Army was located in the Bialystok ledge. In the immediate vicinity of the border

      Explained and many times. Rezun (Suvorov) was right, the troops were concentrated. The time was ... well, it was very hectic !!! But ... if you have military training, then you should know that every self-respecting state and its army has plans for combat and mobilization cover the border ... and just your own territory. In this regard, it was calculated that if we were attacked, the Red Army would quickly defeat the advanced units of the enemy and ONLY THEN would transfer the hostilities to the enemy's lands! This was not hidden. They even sang about it in the songs. Here is this plan, Rezun, calling it Operation Zarya, making a small substitution of concepts and passing it off as a plan for the war of RUSSIA against GERMANY. The USSR did not plan ANY preventive measures! There is not a single document about this!
      Stalin really didn't need a war. After the apologist of the world revolution and the creation of a single state from agrarian Russia and the industrial country GERMANY, the main "talker and troublemaker", a certain N. BUKHARIN, left the political arena (therefore he was categorically against industrialization), we built our state based on our own strength. And we had enough resources for this, unlike Germany!
      Germany needed markets for its goods, territories for the resettlement of a rapidly growing population, sources of raw materials!
      And why the USSR brought its troops into the territory of POLAND - please, look at the geography and history ... you will see that these are the territories of the former Russia, given to Poland after the "loud failure" of the Tukhachevsky war with the Poles. And they are inhabited mainly by Ukrainians and Belarusians ... despite the policy of assimilation and displacement of the original peoples from these lands.

          What do you mean "did not have time to transfer"? The USSR, in addition to the western one, had a border in the Caucasus with not very friendly Turkey, Central Asia, where the Basmachis were playing naughty until recently, and a border with Manchuria (+ Mongolia) on which the Japanese stood. Don't you think that the rest of the troops were covering those directions that I listed above?

          The screeching, unfortunately, is heard from a completely different direction. And there is no logic in that screeching, just as there is no thought. You have to think on your own, listen to all sides, all arguments. Calling a spade a spade: Rezun is a traitor, he has no respect for that, but he is not mentally retarded. Stalin and Hitler are villains, but also not at all UO. If you listen to opponents of Rezun's point of view, then Stalin turns out to be a round UO, which I do not believe at all. Then why, if he is not a UO, he concentrated troops, equipment and warehouses at the very border? Would anyone give a convincing explanation for this fact, or not? So far, only Rezun gave his convincing version, which made me feel better. At least I began to suspect that our military leaders were neither suckers nor idiots, but were simply preparing to attack. And they rubbed our glasses on us that the whole problem is that Hitler attacked treacherously, chivalrously without warning "I'm going on you!" And what the hell does it matter who attacked first? Everything was ready for war, we had already fought with Finland, we entered the territory of Poland, and did not wait peacefully at our old borders. Why do spears break around the one who was ready to attack first? What is this fundamental question? We attacked Finland and Poland, and nothing. It is important who fought for what! And we fought against the cannibals, and could be the first to strike these cannibals. You look, and less blood would have cost. In the meantime, I am haunted by the thought of Karl von Clausewitz, who is respected by all the military: "A statesman who sees that war is inevitable and cannot dare to strike first is guilty of a crime against his own country." Who has anything to argue with Clausewitz on the merits?

You that. have you put on blinders, or are you mentally defective from birth? Consider again the logic of your phrase about Stalin .... and be ashamed of your limitations ...

And if you already refer. then refer to the source, and you say, you are all durrraks here, you don’t understand anything. but such a truthful person. as Dr. Goebbels alone knew the truth ... and told everyone it ... :))) it will be more honest ... :)))
            We did not enter the territory of Poland. We entered our lands, previously torn away by Poland during the war of aggression unleashed by it. Do you catch the difference? :))) And they really waited peacefully on their borders.
            Nobody breaks copies. historians of the whole planet agree that our version is correct. And just gobbels with a cutter to the heap, do not agree ... well. you are still drawn in your wretched point of view .... what do you think, even British historians despise vain rezon?

There are simply no answers to them, hence some insults, and this is a manifestation of weakness :-) Let Rezun himself a liar to the tenth degree, but he gave an interesting version. Then Hitler, in his statement, may not even lie. But from this he will not cease to be Hitler. Our historians have not given any convincing version, except for miserable attempts to justify the powerlessness of the authorities in the initial period of the war. And the argument about the fair return of their territories in Poland is finally :-) As they say, without comment. I now believe that Crimea was given to Ukraine stupidly and unfairly. And what, can we rightly attack this independent state? Well, in Finland, what were we looking for then? According to your logic, they also had a right, because it was necessary to move the border from Peter :-) And Clausewitz is essentially still right, you have nothing to argue with.

                  Dear Smile, who told you. What do I excuse Rezun? 8-) I will explain my position. I have enough years to remember well how the failures of the first period of the war were explained in history textbooks in schools and universities. They were not ready, did not have time, Stalin Sorge did not believe it, all the troops therefore were concentrated on the border. The equipment in the parks, the fuel was drained, the planes at the airfields as a parade, etc. The Germans did not warn us, hence all the troubles - we lost almost all the planes at the airfields, about 3 million people were captured. Before the war, the fortified areas were disarmed. At the command-staff game, Zhukov completely smashed Pavlov and in a short time reached Minsk. In general, everyone before the war was either gullible, like children, or simply stupid. And Stalin, and the entire General Staff, and Zhukov. But we are used to being proud of our country, we are the first in space, we won the war. Well, all this did not fit with the stupidities of the outbreak of war, even crack. And then a version appears that allows us to hope that they were not idiots, but simply prepared to advance. And here my personal pride in the country can take a breath. And it’s not so important for me, is it true or not. I would even be glad if we had not been looking at anyone, we were the first to attack. Let historians argue hoarsely who was going to do what. If we simply believed Hitler, then our leadership of that time simply had something wrong with its head.
                  As for Poland, I do not approve. I generally do not approve of wars of conquest. The question is different - the debate is about who was preparing to attack first, who started the war against a sovereign state, which is not good. After all, everyone who opposes Suvorov, as I noticed, is most afraid of even the thought that we could be the first to attack. Why? Because it is not good? But why the attack on Finland does not cause such a reaction? Why is the attack on Poland justified? Are these double standards? And I would be glad if we really were the first to start.

                        Except for shouts and insults, I didn’t notice anything :-) Especially since there was some trampling there. It seems to me that you have conscientiously confused the ability to shout loud insults with the ability to lead a discussion and prove your case. In general, there is a kindergarten in terms of trampling :-) It also seemed to me that some of the debaters had nothing to do with the war - amateurs.
                        I saw the inability to reason logically. Logical substitutions and manipulations too. Well, these are ways to defend your faith. Only faith is not enough.
                        But there was also something interesting. The following versions follow from the discussion:
                        1. Tymoshenko and Zhukov, in fact, are traitors who DON'T WANT to organize a defense (from Vasya’s post). There was still a very respected by me General Karbyshev, a serious specialist in fortification. I would like to ask the author of the version - why did he decide that they did not want to?
                        2. We tried, but did not have time. To mobilize, set up equipment, bring troops into full combat readiness, find out the exact day of the German attack, etc. This is an old official version. Not removing any responsibility from the political and military leadership of the country. “If tomorrow is a war, if tomorrow is a campaign”, then what the hell were the famous aircraft designers Tupolev, Yakovlev, Polikarpov, Myasischev in the camps? Dvigatelists Stechkin (future academician), Glushko - future ally of the Queen, Korolev himself? The creators of BM-13 Langemak and Kleimenov were shot? The future Commissar of Defense Vannikov? Future Marshal Rokossovsky? You can list and list. I will not write about repressions in the army, everything has long been known.
                        3. They didn’t want to attack anyone, but they decided to meet hand-to-hand with the Germans at the border, which is why so many troops were concentrated there. That is, give them a decisive border battle and finish off on a foreign land :-).
                        4. It was pointless to create a deeply layered defense of the country, they say, the Kursk Bulge and the Maginot Line prove this. If it is not worth it, it remains either to lure the enemy inland (ha ha ha), or to surrender, or to attack on their own. There are simply no other options.

                        Everything is clear with the Rezun version, and it is clear that he needed fame. Exactly the same fame is needed for Rezun’s antagonists. There are, however, other possibilities for future writers eager to suck out a sensation from their finger, which can bring enough banknotes and popularity. Unused are the following unused options:
                        1. The betrayal of the leadership of the country, which beheaded the army, intelligence, national economy through repression before the war.
                        2. The stupidity of the leadership of the country, which has committed all of the above for the poor.
                        3. The mental ill health of the country's leadership, expressed in paranoid psychosis and the search for enemies in their own country with a known result.

                        I’m for the combined version: they didn’t have time, and were in a paranoid psychosis, and thought about their own attack, but they were afraid, and the folly happened :-) In fact, I believe in this option. And the version of Rezun warms my soul, because then we are smart and cunning and strong, but we were simply outwitted. I had to wake up urgently. Not so offensive :-))))))

                        And the last chapter - as it would be if we were the first to attack - "the last nail" in the coffin lid with "those who got on the hook." There is also the last "spit" about a grimy tanker in "liberated Auschwitz" with a phrase like that concentration camps are like ours. And here we remember SolzhInitsin, "the innocent victim", and the terrible "fairy tales" of Shalamov.

                        Stalkerwalker, you know, I don't like this kind of literature. And I am fascinated, for example, by Lion Feuchtwanger, once Konstantin Fedin and others like him. "Icebreaker" fell into my hands a long time ago, and I have never tried to double-check the figures and facts given in it, to read the memoirs of our and German generals. And I will not try, I will leave it to the historians. I liked the version itself, whether it was correct or not. She somehow explained in a positive way the facts that have long been known to me. Now I just know that there is such a version, and I am waiting for the continuation, which version will eventually win in a few years. In general, it would be strange if our General Staff, at least in theory, did not consider the option of a preemptive strike. Operational and strategic plans, which have the character of a directive, are another matter. I think the truth is much uglier than Suvorov's version.
                        As for the terrible tales of Shalamov, it is much more terrible than "Sleigh" by Georgy Zhzhenov.

Probably Stalin until a certain point thought so will be and then it was too late to change anything !!!

                    An excellent answer, plausibly explaining the love for the rezun ... if after the publication of his first Icebreaker with the Aquarium, a quarter of a century had not passed ... understand, there are so many monographs written, so many documents published that even questions about the unfortunate rezun should not arise ... .you forgive, but you spent these quarter of a century in hibernation? You are kindly requested to read the books recommended by the opponents of the rezunists on this thread. I walked through, no one recommended bullshit. I would also recommend reading Medinsky's "War" and the trilogy of myths about Russia ..... And pride in oneself will remain in You will stop believing rubbish. And from the miserable version that was distributed at school in Soviet times, get rid of ... by the way, in military universities and where history was a profile topic, the topic was adequately covered and without any legends and in Soviet times ...
                    No one is afraid of any thoughts - do not entertain yourself with a miserable illusion and do not quote our fugitive (you use his signature words and phrases) ... but those who do not like the cutter do not like one of his main thoughts - We are creatures. who have dreamed all their history of enslaving a poor, clean, honest Europe. and for us. insidious. it almost succeeded. the misfire was prevented by a wise but stupid grandfather Hitler who preempted us, saber-toothed and thereby saved Europe and the planet .... moreover, a stupid but successful Hitler didn’t have a chance against us pathological invaders, but his victim was not in vain — we lost the war civilized world .... you have this rubbish. What I stated does not cause disgust?
                    About Poland. Once again, we DO NOT attack Poland and didn’t divide Poland with anyone by September 17th. On September 14, the government interned in Romania. Commander-in-chief safely escaped ... without any wars we occupied the lands previously captured by this hyena of Europe .... you really want to. so we give them to Hitler?
                    I already wrote about the Finns ..
                    To summarize. So, you did not give a single statement that could be proved to any extent by anything and which could be refuted by documents. so that even it becomes clear to you, your rezun deceived and raped you like a cat ... one blah blah blah .... rezunovskaya vodichka .... immediately about a lot, but about nothing specifically .... congratulations, you are worthy student rezuna .....

            Of course it will, even the idiots understand this, the Third Reich is concentrating its troops near the border of the USSR (well, you understand with the most peaceful intentions), the Soviet Union is concentrating troops on its part, since it is clear to Stalin that the Germans are not coming for popcorn to us. The Germans are concentrating their troops faster, since Germany is LITTLE-LITTLE smaller than the USSR.
            Physically, Stalin could not preempt Hitler in the attack, because whenever the concentration of troops began in the USSR, Germany would prepare faster because of the shorter distances.
            I want to remind you with what joy our constant friends in the person of SSHA and Britain will attack the treacherous Stalin, since you yourself are so limited that you do not understand this.

But you do not accumulate all the herds in one place. And do not disarm your own fortified areas, which surprised me even in my school years and without any Rezun. Look at the numbers of what and how much we lost in the first days of the war in boilers and environments near the border. This explains the rapid advance of the enemy - on his way, despite the heroic resistance, our troops were few. Really, only near Moscow they gathered their strength and thoughts.

                  The defense of the country is not at all the same as the defense in the course of one operation, albeit strategic, as on the Kursk Bulge. Defense in this case is not only sitting in trenches and fortified areas. By the way, the Germans simply bypassed the Maginot Line, striking at France through Belgium. I think that our commanders knew perfectly well how the Wehrmacht acted, cutting through the defenses with tank wedges, making deep detours and envelopes.

                    Ma-la-dets! It is enough to divide all the actions of the Wehrmacht into "Barbarossa", "Typhoon", "Citadel" and woo a la! The Red Army did not defend the USSR at all, and so it defended itself, in the course of individual operations laughing
                    “As I have already indicated, my personal participation in the French campaign was limited to the battles in Lorraine, where I served as chief of staff of the 197th infantry division. She was part of the 1st German Army, whose troops attacked the famous Maginot Line near Puttlange south of Saarbrücken on June 14. I had a good opportunity to directly observe these battles, although only artillery and a combat engineer battalion took part in our breakthrough from our division. The belief in the inaccessibility of the Maginot line was widespread, and as far as I know, there are still people who believe that its fortifications could withstand any attack. It is interesting to note that the defenses of the Maginot Line were broken in a few hours as a result of the usual attack of infantry without any tank support.

              So the whole point is that by June 22, Soviet troops were already concentrated at the Western borders - this is proved by the UNFATTERNED FACT - namely, that by the winter of 1941 there were almost no tanks and aircraft left in the Red Army, plus they say figures - the number of the Red Army Unions that were surrounded, and of course, a huge number of prisoners and dead as a result of the emergence of huge boilers !!!

              It's not about praising or scolding Rezun, but about the fact that people want to know the TRUTH that was specific (by day) between June 22nd and December 6th of the 41st year !!! And where by the beginning of the 42nd year all the pre-war power of the Red Army had disappeared !!!

The success of hostilities directly depends on how quickly the troops are supplied with power by uniforms and ammunition. To drive the supply 100-200 km from the border to the troops with the complete domination of enemy aircraft - doom the defenders to death.

            Rezun is certainly a traitor, there is no doubt about it. As an officer of the GRU, he ran to our enemy.
            But for some reason, our native historians cannot yet write a more believable story. I am silent about the true story. They set a GDP task to them even in their first term, and I have been waiting for so many years when they give birth to PRESENT HISTORY.

              Not a single historian of the planet Earth nods at Rezun. He is not able to give anything to anyone, since all historians, including Western ones, know that he is a corn bullshit. No need to dream and retell his words - these are just his pathetic attempts to attach importance to himself. :)))

      Raw materials and agricultural products in exchange for industrial equipment and technologies. During the war, as in Europe, a quick exit on the Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan line gave Germany both the industry of the USSR and agriculture. The time is optimal, the brazen people are driven to the islands, the new industrial enterprises have not yet entered the USSR, the USSR army has some kind of mess associated with the increase in the number and the attendant lack of personnel.

      Not a single author, besides Rezun, clearly explained why Stalin went to the liquidation of Poland, creating a common border with Germany ...

      It was not a fist, but only its contours, shell. Divisions with 70-80% of the personnel. The rear areas are not deployed, the theater of war is not prepared, and the materiel is understaffed.
      About Poland ...
      Poland, as a state ended on September 15, when his government fled to Romania. The territory of Poland remained, the eastern part of which with the Belarusians and Ukrainians would inevitably be occupied by the Germans.
      Thus, if there had been no Polish campaign of the Red Army, the common border with Germany would still have been. But, much east.

In this book, almost all the writings of our scoundrel are analyzed, a lot of references. including for that. so that the reader is convinced. how rezun lies. distorting quotes and their sources. Special attention is paid to the military-technical nonsense of a liar. Written in his style, his style ... a lot of humor.

          Before asking such questions, try to study the WHOLE HISTORY of relations between Finland and Soviet Russia in the period 1917-1939. Believe me, you will find a lot of new and interesting things. Let me cite as an example, at least, the slogan of the "top" of the Finnish government (parliament there was more for beauty, as, indeed, in Poland) in relation to Russia: "tougher, even tougher!" As a result, being under constant military-political pressure from Finland, the newly-born Baltic states and Pilsudskaya Poland, Russia was forced to sign treaties with these countries on the MOST ADVANCED CONDITIONS. Only Germany had the worst conditions when the Versailles Treaty was signed.

You would think that Hitler after the capture of Austria and the Czech Republic would have stopped fearing Stalin? :))) Why do you think that Hitler would not have attacked Poland if it were not for the notorious non-aggression pact? When attacking Poland, Germany first of all decided its old question about Danzig - and this had nothing to do with the USSR !!! And do you really think that Stalin was such a fool not to understand that Austria and the Czech Republic will be followed by Poland - the Poles did not want to conclude any military alliances with the USSR and what was left for Stalin to do - watch how Germany will absorb Poland alone and then all the small countries of Eastern Europe ?

    None of the operational documents, including the "Barbarossa" plan of the Germans, mentions the threat from the USSR. And Hitler, this is not a preventive action, but a PROGRAM CONCEPT, even from the moment of writing "Mein Kampf"
    On May 2, 1941, at a meeting of the Vostok economic headquarters, Hitler said: "... the war can be continued only if all the German Armed Forces in the third year of the war are supplied with food at the expense of Russia."
    In the secret memorandum "Oil supply to Germany during the war", April 1939, it was said: "The use of war ... is the only opportunity to seize also the largest oil-bearing region of Europe, the Caucasus ...".
    PS The militarization of Germany led to a disproportion in the economy and public debt. There were two ways - to shoulder the shoulders of compatriots or to cover the costs at the expense of the occupied EASTERN territories. "The second way is UNDoubtlessly preferable!"

    The rapid growth of the army, from 1,9 million in 1939 to almost 5 million by June 1, 1941


    The strength of the Russian armed forces in peacetime by 1914 reached 1.300.000. With the announcement of general mobilization, another 3.500.000 people were called up, who represented the entire stock of military-trained people up to the age of 38 inclusive.


    The quote is taken from the work of Lieutenant General of the General Staff of the Russian Empire N.N. Golovin. "The beginning of the war and operations in East Prussia".

    Conclusion: the number of Russian and Soviet troops, some at the start of the war in 1914, and others at the beginning of the 1941 war, is almost the same. But, in 1914, this number was provided open general mobilization during the declaration of war, and in 1941 was achieved before the war and without a declaration of general mobilization.

        Well, you directly copied my post on one previously discussed article. Thank you for reminding me.
        It's about something else.
        The appeal of 39 years gave 3 ages and 18 year olds with secondary education. Given the fact that the call and demobilization in the fall, at the beginning of the war, these guys were a little bit before demobilization. You cannot call them inexperienced. The 1940 autumn draft of 19-year-olds and partly, again 18-year-olds, was given by a soldier with at least 6 months of preparation for the outbreak of war. In May, 41 calls from the stock of 800 thousand. The untrained army of Comrade Stalin cannot be called. Comrade Stalin knew about the war and was preparing for it. Therefore, I always reject positions, such as Stalin was afraid, did not believe Sorge, the attack was unexpected, the army was not ready, etc.
        Comparison of the two armies on the fact of the presence of numbers indicates readiness for war. No matter how, open or hidden. Well, it happened with Comrade Stalin, who was called so in the 39th and with combat readiness by the year 41.
        In the usual order, even during the Soviet period, one of the articles of the law always indicates the order in which the law enters into force. As a rule, the phased introduction of articles of the law to constant use is applied. After all, it is clear that the simultaneous appeal of three and a half ages will cause additional economic burden (uniforms, food, withdrawal of working hands). General Golovin examines in detail the mobilization procedure, starting from the private one, as the movement of a huge mass of people, first at the lower regional level, and then at the all-Russian level. The readiness of troops for mobilization and concentration determined from 40 to 80 days. Consequently, to relocate the same number of people to 39, as with the general mobilization in the 14th, it demanded a similar load on transport to the detriment of the peaceful economy and comrade. Stalin went for it.

          The untrained army of Comrade Stalin cannot be called.
          The infantry, and even then the average command staff was not enough. What about tankers? The materiel is new, it’s just gone, information on the miserable technique has not been worked out yet. Providing auxiliary equipment miserable, tanks first. Flyers have the same thing.

      The rapid growth of the army, from 1,9 million in 1939 to almost 5 million by June 1, 1941

      Conclusion: the number of Russian and Soviet troops, some at the start of the war in 1914, and others at the beginning of the 1941 war, is almost the same. But, in 1914, this number was provided open general mobilization during the declaration of war, and in 1941 was achieved before the war and without a declaration of general mobilization.

      Numbers are a relative thing. What will the number of the Red Army that impressed you look like more than 5 million if I name the Wehrmacht at 7,5 million? love

        So in the 14th year, if you count, at the time of the outbreak of hostilities, due to faster mobilization and strategic deployment, Germany had a numerical superiority (15 days, in Russia up to 80).

        Take into account the importance of primary and secondary forces. Let us assume that in the year 14 Germany concentrated the bulk of the field army against France by setting up partially divisions from Landsver and Landshturm to defend against Russian troops. And in 1941, at the beginning of hostilities, secondary divisions, i.e. made up of the recently drafted, they were the second echelon (reserve) and were not entered into the battle, but were taken into account in the total number. At the same time, the accumulation of forces was already done through hidden mobilization. Accordingly, as soon as we had a general mobilization, the number of our troops became higher.

All these arguments about the "preemptive strike" of Germany, it's like talking about the fact that grandmother could be a grandfather if she had an appropriate body. If the country is firmly on a course of war, then it will come up with a bunch of reasons and provocations for this, such as the "shelling" of American destroyers with Vietnamese boats, or the attack of the Poles on a German radio station, which nominally caused the war, but for the USSR, our "good doctor" Goebbels invented a myth about "first strike".

    here, not long ago, a film about the creator of T-5 was shown on Channel 34.
    The film was shot in Soviet times and I think it was censored.

    There are shots in the film: the tanks are being driven in M. and somewhere at the crossing the tanks get up and the grandma asks the designer: "Sonny, will there be war with the Germans?" He answers: "It will."
    It seems that it was 1940 (winter).

    Interestingly, the whole country knows that the war "will be", they were preparing for the war (units and subunits were actively formed, there was a systematic transfer of troops, huge stocks of weapons were formed near the border and), by May 1941 the economy of the USSR was practically transferred to martial law:
    - the motto is all women on tractors (where did the men go?)
    - Paid training at universities has been introduced (this limits and frees people in other areas of production, including the army).
    - workers are attached to the workplace and cannot just quit

    The fascist Germany needed the war — she needed resources,
    the USSR needed the war because the economy would not have been able to maintain the army of 4.5-5 million people. Well, look, what was the size of the Soviet army (peacetime) after the Second World War (some 50-80 years) and what a burden it lay on the people.

He threw millions of Germans at Hitler’s feet. But Germany was on the verge of defeat — chaos and chaos were total. that all this red chapel ... was clearly a symphony in the wrong ears. Even Trotsky, for all that he was a scoundrel, I would surely handle it.
    -Repressions in foreign intelligence. They simply removed people who really could create color revolutions around the world. That’s how Stalin understood this logic.
    -Repressions in the Red Army. It seems that the legend was such, they were looking for future Vlasovs. But Vlasov was not found laughing Stalin beheaded the army. Yes figs with them with views but to exterminate specialists on the eve of the war ...
    -Spain. What kind of experience we got there is not clear ... Yes, and who will analyze when we cleaned everyone. But then they showed that we can and should be beaten!
    -Demolition of defensive fortifications on the border ... Why?
    - He passed the Balkans. Romania, Hungary is also against us.
    - Finland could not even be marked so that in 1941 she was in a hospital bed and did not enter the war against us.
    -And another car and trolley ...
    What a preventive strike! This is truly a myth.

      You distort and try to judge the actions of the USSR taking into account its post-war (or towards the end of the war) potential. Before the war, we are an outcast country. having a meager political weight, the country has only created industry and the army, a country whose influence on the situation in other countries. for example, in Germany it’s just microscopic ... unlike France and the Anglo-Saxons. surpassing us in everything, even in terms of population. (the population of F. scolonias is 107 million Britain over 550 million), and it was these countries that had the ability and the right, and were obliged to control Germany and be the guarantors of the Versailles agreements ... but instead they planned and prepared to bomb the oil fields of Baku and Grozny, and the invasion from the North-West ...
      and we at that time in Germany could not have done anything ... I repeat ANYTHING ... there simply weren’t any opportunities ... what Balkans, how, what and what could we hinder there if we had a task to survive, and we frantically preparing to defend themselves, knowing full well that we were not catastrophically in time. Moreover, not only Germany could attack, but also other coalitions, including France and Britain ... Japan, Poland ...

        The results of the parliamentary elections in Germany on March 5, 1933
        Communist Party of Germany 4,848,058mn 12.32%
        Microscopic?But this is already 1933. I think in 1917. all supporters! there was much less communism in Russia and nothing was done ...
        The population of Britain is 55 million. What is Britain so trusted in the fleet? -Population of the colonies is more of a hidden enemy of the metropolis. So a quantitative argument is past the target. Rather, it was a hidden reserve of the enemies of England. Yes, several native divisions could arm but no more - it was scary What if a rebellion? And the struggle for independence?
        It’s strange for me to hear that we were a communist pariah country laughing How would uh ... then we ourselves chose such a paradigm-they say we are so special and proud of it.
        In order to attack the country-USSR it was necessary to have a people / peoples with bestial biology.
        so the west of England, France, the United States without total technological superiority did not even think ... to frighten and make plans is the best element of protection laughing - Yes ... in this they are masters.
        Japan, yes, maybe it could. But China and the south were more profitable for Japan. It was just more human resources, possible slaves. Japan, creating loud problems for us, was actually our shield in the East. How is China now ...
        So Stalin’s foreign policy weight was on the eve of 1941.

          1. The trouble is that the German Communists were primarily Germans, and then the Communists, and were not as roomy dogs of Stalin as we would like. They did not have any serious posts in power and did not possess any serious resources. In fact, they did not have the opportunity to influence state policy. During the war, ordinary Communists vigorously went to the front and fought normally, resisted the unit regime, and then they were seated in concentration camps.
          2. Hitler joyfully worked 400 million occupied Europe. Were they not hidden enemies? Nothing, Hitler somehow coped. The British also coped. To say that the 550 millionth empire, possessing resources and industry exceeding our goals by several times ... is strong ... :))) Yes. yes, yes, Britain, built a monstrous fleet still being able to control almost the entire oceans from hopelessness ...
          3. I am not a communist and have never been.
          4. We did not choose any paradigms. Having chopped off huge territories from RI and having created puppet hostile regimes of the Entente country there were not going to allow the restoration of the power of our country. They did everything for this. what they could. The bombing of our oil fields in the year 40, which, according to the British and French, was supposed to put us on their knees, was prevented by the Germans. Read the memoirs of De Gaulle - he clearly and unequivocally talks about it. It was within the framework of this policy that they implemented the isolation of the USSR economic. political and military. In the thirties, without the permission of Britain (and only then France) in Europe, no one even dared.
          5. The psychology of the peoples of the colonial countries was quite suitable for an aggressive war. In the early 30s, they excelled us in wealth, resources, and industry. military potential is not at times, by orders of magnitude.
          Yes you are a joker. my friend ... :))) Japan in the 30s, it turns out, was our shield on the Far East ... :)))) there are no words ... ETOGES it is necessary to blur such a thing ... I will not cling, we must understand everything ourselves :) ))Basically. if you say this, then it’s clear what the price is for your deep conclusions ... :)))
          By 41 goals, when the continent did not become the largest European players in Europe - England and France. Stalin’s weight appeared. Yes, and a frantic attempt to catch up with the alleged aggressors bore fruit ... and in the 30th century of our country in international affairs, indeed, almost 0.
          The latter, at 21, fighting the invading Poland invading us (the army of which was armed, supplied, and even commanded by the Entente, Comrade Pétain and De Gaulle, by the way, participated) for their lives, the international weight of Russia was not just zero - it was a negative value.
          The country is destroyed, huge industrially developed pieces of the territory are torn away. industry is dying, the transport network barely works; there is no training, there is simply no education and engineers, modern weapons are not produced. damn, we can’t even equip the army with uniforms and boots ..on all borders they look at us over the sights, in the Crimea Wrangel, gangs all over the country .... what international weight?

            I understand you ... you think that a tragic accident happened in 1917. And repetition in another serious country was not possible.
            But then what is the concept of a communist idea?

            The Russians were Russians in 1917, but they opened the front to the enemy! The Spaniards (with cultural influence in South America) were also Spaniards, and even with a traditionally strong Catholic church. But the Germans, well, just give them fascism.
            But what about the phrase Who comes to us with a sword will come from the sword and ...
            But the communist idea was a sword. And we could not defeat the enemies with the same weapon ...
            There was no reason for the Russian people not to burn in the firebox of the world bacchanalia — (as Trotsky wanted) —but they could partially repay the debts.
            In the early 30s, they excelled us in wealth, resources, and industry. military potential is not at times, by orders of magnitude.

            Meant west?
            Japan in the 30s, it turns out, was our shield on the Far East ... :)))) there are no words ... it needs to be blinked like that ... I won’t cling, we must understand everything ourselves :))) In principle. if you say this, then it’s clear what the price is for your deep conclusions ... :)))

            And the conclusions are simple ... Japan carefully monitored the growth of the US economy. You understand that almost everything! Was invented then in the USA and England / France. Ford's ideas with its conveyor should be added to this. That is, capitalism was reborn before our eyes! And it was much a greater threat to an independent state than the communist idea.
            Well, first attack the backward state of the USSR and then get in the back with a club from the developed? -Your logic.
            And last ... foreign policy weight is a dumb amount of bayonets. Yes, with ragged shoes without uniforms, it’s even worse and more convincing laughing You can immediately see who the enemy of capitalism is.
            Having gone through a civil war, the Red Army command had the experience of a mobile war — how many kilometers were wound in the offensives / transfers, not a single army had! And the campaign was solving a lot of issues, both domestic and political laughing remember how many all sorts of independent activists we had then.
            The Germans carefully studied the experience. Even the attributes of the form were adopted from some parts of the White Army.
            And all that you wrote, this is not there ... And who is to blame? And do not, by 1941 the mountains were mountains. Even chemical and bacteriological weapons could answer. Many scientists around the world idolized communism. So, if you wish access was to so many developments; no one canceled espionage.
            So about our excessive weakness, you exaggerate.

      The situation in Germany after the 1-in-1 defeat resembles our dashing 90s. And in many ways it’s even worse. I recall after the first crazy years, we have elections and the unspoken victory of Zyuganov. This is despite the fact that then the communist idea was still fresh and the Germans didn’t tasted this fruit like us. So the Germans, not having the natural beauties of Buryatia, were in a worse situation laughing

    It is not surprising that with such a state personnel policy of the state, more seasoned cutters are Yeltsin, Gorbachev, Kravuk, Shushkevich and their “ideological” echoes — Volkogonov, Yakovlev, and so on. they lurked for a long time, wrecked themselves from within, penetrated the highest power and easily did what the Nazis failed to do - they destroyed the USSR.

    But what did Germany need at that moment in war ??? Not a single author, except Rezun, has yet clearly explained why, by the end of June, the main shock fist of the Red Army was located in the Bialystok ledge. In the immediate vicinity of the border. Not one author, again except Rezun, he didn’t clearly explain why Stalin went to the elimination of Poland by creating a common border with Germany. And while there is no other clear explanation of these issues, he has to adhere to his opinion. Well, and then I agree again with Rezun, what is so bad about attacking fascist germany ???? And as for the Second World War, so it began not at 41 but at 39. so the author again stuffs us with a set of meaningless propaganda phrases without the slightest fact. Article is nonsense. The author is a big minus


    ... firstly Rezun the traitor, also stupid and he did not say anything new. In 1967, we had a friend visiting, Uncle Vanya, he worked in the Kremlin, then he said in conversation with Father that we were preparing to attack Germany in 1942, we were preparing, we had plans, we developed a doctrine, .. .so what.

    We did not attack Germany, Germany attacked us and pushed it to this all, all of Europe and Poland including (read the story)
    ... and for Rezun - the more he will beat the country that he betrayed, the better - some kind of excuse for himself ...

    The US Secretary of State said "in the American doctrine there is no possibility of delivering a preemptive nuclear strike against the aggressor." (Ushakov's dictionary explains that "the aggressor is the culprit of aggression; the one who attacks; the attacker") ... this is the logic

    ... you won’t tell in a nutshell, and the article is not written to do a complete analysis of the beginning of the war - this is a short answer to Chamberlains like you dear and your friend, traitor Rezun (he also took Suvorov pseudo-p. oz.ele) ...

Hitler is the offspring of man, but we, having a stronger army and profess to bring freedom to the peoples of Europe, will not attack him. DO NOT DOWN

      What is your cunning ability not to notice what was answered to you. Walk on the branch - you have long been ... you dried ... and explained that we DID NOT SHARE Poland. we returned the lands it had seized .... in short - go convince the Ukrainians and Belarusians that they should go under the Poles. close their schools, abandon faith, give land to the besiegers, not speak their own language, and much more is exactly what the Poles did on our captured lands ... this is in addition to the burned villages and mass shootings ...

    Is that the power of the USA? ...
    The strength is that every political hue and spectrum has a job and a budget.
    Are you Mr. Trotsky? Ok get a budget and blow make color revolutions.
    Liberal? Okay budget and revolution again laughing
    It all depends on the device of the country of destination and each has its own trump card.
    Stalin, however, did not make himself a world communist leader in China. On the contrary, he also negotiated with the nationalists.
    What prevented finding a common language with Hitler's enemies in Europe?
    And there was no strong trump card-pressure on Europe-Trotsky. Stalin discarded this card, hoping that in return for giving up the world revolution he would receive recognition from heads of state who were simply shaking from one thought-world revolution.
    Holding Trotsky on secondary roles could achieve a lot. The ice ax had to earn more.)))
    But Trotsky’s personality was too bloody and ambitious.
    That's when in Germany (including) they realized that Trotsky was not in danger, the process began and Hitler appeared. This was perceived as weakness.
    So we look at the USA and admire how they can negotiate at home with their political circles. And we will continue to be sausage.
    Now time is lacking, people just need a return to the point of no return-1917. And this point is very scary West because it stands behind her! The Russian Empire. And they are not afraid of communism in Russia.

    This is despite the fact that then the communist idea was still fresh and the Germans did not taste this fruit like us. So the Germans, not having the natural beauties of Buryatia, were in a worse situation laughing


    Of course, the Weimar Republic was doomed. Either the Nazis or the left (communists and social deputies) should have come to power. The Nazis also have very socialist left rhetoric (but without internationalism), and demagogy about a higher race (what a balm for a wounded and humiliated German soul belonging to any German body in terms of class origin). And all the previously designated forces played up by the Nazis.

    The Nazis were in power (they quickly covered up democracy) - external economic pressure (indemnification) was removed, the Nazis were allowed to violate certain articles of the treaty, and so it went. Immediately, the attractiveness of the Nazi authorities increased sharply.

    Franks and shavers (OBSERVERS) could stop them at the beginning? Elementary, but then the charm of the Nazis passed (and they would not even hold power by force).

    Who are next in line? That's right, followers of an everlasting teaching. And all the power and resources of the fraternal Soviet people ensured the indestructible eternal Soviet-German friendship. And the German generals and officers would be ready to wash away the shame of defeat and humiliation in the WWII, albeit under the red flag, together with the Red Army.

    And the OBSERVERS calculated everything, and so the Nazis were allowed everything. Hitler knew this, and not quite well-versed Germans (a bastard from such defiantly arrogant adventures) immediately wrote him down in the Fuhrer - with the gift of foresight and the right to kill.

    In principle, even if it was not the USSR but tsarist Russia, the policy of the Anglo-skunks was the same. To ultimately push Germany and Russia together with their foreheads.

      Here is just one hitch, in principle, we could not be allies with Hitler. Only a temporary forced truce, nothing more. The abyss is too big. And it was precisely the German high officers who had a physiological hatred of Russia and the Communists. For them, it was of great importance what flag was waving over them. And when the British and. oddly enough, the Americans led Hitler into power, his Russophobia was a defining moment.

    The more I read the comments on the topic of the 41st half-year, the more I am moved ... So many emotions are just screaming comments like - Stalin is a criminal, others are ready to kiss him on the contrary, Rezun is a traitor or vice versa and so on ...

    It seems to me that there is less emotion and more logic on this subject - did Germany attack Poland? - It attacked, Germany annexed Czechoslovakia - of course, but what was the USSR to do - to look at it all calmly, or wait until the Germans capture the Baltic states with Moldova and Western Ukraine and Belarus as well? Of course not !!! This is what concerns the pre-war foreign policy of the USSR - in my opinion everything was done absolutely right !!!

    As for the 41st year, it is becoming more and more difficult - it is impossible to concentrate such huge forces along the western border of the USSR in principle !!! And by June 22 there was on the one hand the colossal power of three Wehrmacht groups on the one hand and the strength of the first echelon of the Red Army on the other !!! And there I already think the question of a matter of days - who will strike first - naturally the one who attacks first and receives a strategic advantage ...

    The fact that by the beginning of October of the 41st half of the year, in fact, the troops of the USSR of the First and Second Echelons opposing the army group, the center says a lot !!! There were probably huge forces of the Soviet troops in the direction covering Moscow, and by the middle of the fall of 41, all this had gone somewhere ??? The fact that Siberian divisions were used in the Red Army’s winter counterattack near Moscow suggests that by the winter of the 41st there were very few Red Army units in the European part of the country that could cover such a vital milestone as the defense of the USSR Capital !!! In my opinion, a real miracle in this most difficult period of the war was done by the rear workers - a truly colossal work was done to evacuate the country's production capacities and to establish their work in the future !!! This is what the Germans did not take into account !!! And also did not take into account the mobilization resource of the USSR !!!

    Ultimately, the whole debate boils down to the question: WHO IS GUILTY IN UNLOCKING WAR?

    The West wants to prove that in order to prevent the beginning of Soviet expansion, it was necessary to use Nazi Germany as a shield.

    It is SHIELD, and everything else that happened, is the aggressive nature of communism. The Soviets supposedly seduced the Nazis and pushed them on a gamble to offend the poor European nations, and deprive them of the innocent .. well, in the sense of independence.

    And then meanly at the most unexpected moment, in an insidious way they wanted to hit their ally. But the Nazis were ahead of them.

    But did you know that on the 20th of June 1941 in the USSR military exercises of the Black Sea Fleet were held?
    On June 14, 1941, large general naval exercises began in the northwestern Black Sea region together with the troops of the Odessa Military District. Their time was unusual. For many years, such large exercises were held in the fall. They completed the summer period of combat training of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

    And I have not found the information yet, but I continue to dig that in the 20 numbers exercises were to take place already in other regions of the USSR. The essence of the teachings was their surprise for the composition.

    Of course, they may object to me that it was a variant of preparation for war, but I will answer "Si vis pacem, para bellum". With the same success can be called the exercises conducted in the Russian Federation "Caucasus", "Vostok" and other operations to capture the world.
    Guys can I enlighten, we conquered the Baltic states, Poland? Maybe they recaptured Manchuria and a tricolor develops over the Tokyo Tower? Either the media are silent from fucking up, or is it really just the exercises conducted by any country in order to increase the combat readiness of the troops.
    So the increased combat readiness of the troops in June 41 was quite understandable even if the possibility of an attack was discarded. Of course, the exercise is conditionally "sudden", but what commander wants to be prescribed therapeutic "pi .. scolding"?

    The article is disgusting both in the presentation of the factual data and in the general editing of the text. It is necessary to drive the vulgar, paid amateurs with the necessary "crusts" out of this science with an iron broom. They are a brake on the path of progress in the study of World War II, Hitlerism as an antidote to Stalinism. There is no logic, consistency, which were, for example, the philosopher Ilyin or DS Merezhkovsky. One lie out of cowardice to lose a "profitable place." - Hitler met insolent blackmail (November 1940) from Molotov and realized that they were trying to "put on a noose. on the neck "(see A. Hitler's letter to Mussolini (21.06.1941/1977/86). Only then he was forced to prepare for war with the USSR. It is not enough. As the world famous modern researcher of the era of the Third Reich and Hitlerism writes, David Irving - Hitler's War and War Path (1940-XNUMX) and others, back in June XNUMX a Turkish diplomat told his colleague with connections in the USSR that Stalin was inclined to side with the Anglo-Saxons. This, of course, became known to Hitler. Since then, his strategic plans gradually became to change ... But who to "believe", a paid Soviet bureaucrat from science or David Irving, let me decide.

        The letter began with the phrase “months of disturbing thought” and further informed Mussolini about the impending offensive.

      Schulenburg read out a version of Hitler’s official statement in the form of a diplomatic note. This was already a familiar statement, full of all kinds of dragged-out fabrications and lies, in the drafting of which Hitler and Ribbentrop filled their hands and to which they resorted every time,
      to justify another act of unprovoked aggression.
      However, this statement - such, in any case, the impression
      the author of these lines, when he read it again, exceeded all the previous ones in absolute shamelessness and deceit.
      While Germany strictly complied with the terms of the Nazi-Soviet pact, the statement said, Russia has repeatedly violated them.
      USSR carried out "subversive activities, terrorism and espionage"
      against Germany, he (USSR) "fought against Germany’s efforts to establish a stable order in Europe."
      He conspired with England to carry out an “attack on German troops in Romania and Bulgaria.” Concentrating "all available Russian forces
      on a long front from the Baltic to the Black Sea, ”he“ threatened ”the Reich
      .

      The statement went on to say:
      “The reports received over the past few days exclude any doubts about the aggressive nature of such a concentration of Russian troops. Besides, there are reports from England about the negotiations of Ambassador Cripps on closer political and military cooperation between England and the Soviet Union.
      Summarizing the above, the Reich government in this regard declares that the Soviet government, contrary to its obligations:
      1) not only continued, but intensified its attempts to undermine Germany and Europe;
      2) pursued an increasingly anti-German foreign policy;
      3) concentrated all its forces in readiness on the border with Germany.
      Thus, the Soviet government broke its treaties with Germany
      and is about to attack her from the rear. In this regard, the Fuhrer ordered
      the German armed forces to counter this threat
      by all means at their disposal. ”

German planes flew to us back in April, our fighters met them and drove them out of the territory, while it was forbidden to shoot in the direction of the border. There were many wheeled tanks on the border, and this was explained by the fact that there were many good roads in Germany.

In the USSR, there was a clear pre-war strategy in case of the Great War - if the enemy attacks to break it at the borders and go on the offensive - and there, of course, Russian-German phrase books and wheeled tanks will also be needed - after all, it was planned to use German autobahns during the offensive ...

      .. There were many tanks on wheels at the border, and this was explained by the fact that in Germany there are many good roads ...

      You, than retelling the stories, would take the time to study the complex state of the Red Army and the military-industrial complex of the USSR for the summer of 41.
      This is the "key" to everything. And not someone's desires and personal testimonies.

    Everything is clear for a long time! There was a VERY BREAKING ATTACK, the main goal of which was to destroy as many units of the Red Army as possible in the first days of the war. The German generals were not stupid, they did not need a long war. Everything was planned clearly and tough! understand "The heroism of the Soviet people, our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, that's what the enemy again did not underestimate, and he laid down his head !!!

    This is an excellent method, it is also used perfectly by the current Western ideologists of the USA, NATO - if you want to achieve something, blame the enemy for what you are doing or planning to do. Thus, by arranging genocide in Iraq or Yugoslavia, fomenting war there, the USA, NATO accused the Serbian leaders, Saddam Hussein, of this.
    The worthy heirs of Hitler-Goebbels and the goals are the same misanthropic.

    Yes, and I’ll tell you, at our Department of Foreign Languages ​​(English) there was a topic — interrogation of a prisoner of war. This is worse. Both in the GSVG there were 6 armies (3 tank) and the General Staff had developed plans for invading NATO countries (they are supposed to develop such documents against aliens according to the charter). And Ogarkov had the doctrine of victory in the limited European theater of war. So what? But I forgot all the boots with a leather boot.

    Authorities are concerned about the possible development of US biological weapons near the borders of Russia (Georgia)

    So will we wait for the new June 22nd?! with biological color

    Or again
    however it was, the Nazis attacked the USSR, we defended ourselves and WIN!


    Ahahaha))) Stalin's guilt that he did not fit into the internal affairs of another sovereign state)))


    Let’s take the example of the brilliant Stalin again? If so... then we will no longer need the subject of history. It’s just that its history will be written in a different language.

    Perhaps you still need to devote time and reprint your test on the history of international relations here in the form of a short article. I wrote on the topic of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and, in short, behind the German attack on the USSR were Chamberlain and British intelligence, and Hitler himself, of course. Adik fell for the promises of the British that they were the last stronghold of Europe against Bolshevism (this was back in 37 or 38, if my memory serves me correctly). And one cannot help but recall the non-aggression pacts and attempts to conclude more serious agreements between France, England and Germany, so our pact of ’39, the division of Poland, etc., were a significant victory in the diplomatic game, which made it possible to delay the war for another 2 years and, also important , create a split between Germany and Japan - the latter was “very dissatisfied” with the Germans’ treaty with the USSR, which largely contributed to the Japanese taking a passive position in the Far East in 41.
    It remains to be regretted that they did not have time to secure the Krauts with a more serious agreement, although it was already being developed (and it seems that a friendship agreement was signed, although I don’t remember exactly, if I was wrong - sorry :))
    Actually, one of the reasons for the division of Poland and the common border was joint military operations against the Entente (but this remained in theory). But Comrade Hitler decided to lead a campaign against the “Red Horde” and we were again pitted against each other, although the Krauts are our beneficial geopolitical ally (as we are for them, by the way).
    What is significant is that many generals in the Wehrmacht and individual geopoliticians (Haushoffer) were against a “war on two fronts.” And Haushofer almost directly spoke about the need to create a continental union "Paris-Berlin-Moscow" and condemned the racist bias in the ideology of the Reich, but he was imprisoned

      I would love to read your test, especially since I agree with your version. Subscribe in PM. But calling a historical figure “Adik” is unprofessional. Now let’s slide down to “Gorbik” and “Usatiy”...

    Rather, Adik was pushed to go to war with the USSR by the Zionists, with whom Adik had relations until 1942. there was a touching friendship. In a post-war interview, the former head of the Zionist Federation of Germany, Hans Friedenthal, said: The Gestapo did everything to help the emigration of Jews. We often received various kinds of help from him. (F. Nicosia "The Third Reich and the Palestinian Question")

      A classic of the genre - a Jewish conspiracy. True, there was no state of Israel at that time, and the Germans began driving Jews into ghettos in 1935. And who pushed whom in 1935? And who is “Adik”? Is your friend from the Caucasus?

    Sleepy, it feels like you are probably a well-paid, informed “chekist”; you quote entire paragraphs, however, from those books that I know well. But I think that the text, for example, of Hitler’s letter to Mussolini on the eve of the invasion of the USSR is much more significant , than a retelling, albeit famous, of I. Fest. This is my method - I try to stick to the original source. But that’s not the point now. You lie about A. Hitler’s “unprovoked aggression”, always and in everything. I will limit myself to the period before the outbreak of hostilities in territory of Poland on September 1, 1939. In order to be “in the know,” Fest or, especially, Shirer will not be enough for you. For this, I advise you to read the great, but still hushed up book by a Harvard graduate, Doctor of Historical Sciences , already deceased, deprived of all regalia for this work, David Hoggan: Der erzwungene Krieg (1961). The tragic fate of this book was revealed when its translation into English was printed (The Forced War; 1984-86). In 1984. the building in which this translation was printed was burned to the ground by unknown persons (sic!). This is the standard American democracy! The book had to be assembled from charred pieces. An important point: “aggressive” Hitler in the last peaceful days made gigantic efforts to peacefully resolve legitimate claims against Poland (Danzig, Corridor), offering Poland (29-31 August) the so-called Marienwerder Proposals, which you will hardly find a mention of, except for the falsified interpretation at the Nuremberg Trials (1946). Information about these peace proposals of Hitler was hidden from post-war German for decades public. Unbridled Poland, as a result of the so-called. Anglo-French “guarantees”, refusing any negotiations, brazenly challenged the much stronger Germany, forcing Hitler to begin local, as he hoped, military actions against Poland on September 1, 1939. England and France were not stopped by Hitler’s safety net Pact with Stalin and on September 3 of the same year they declared a WORLD war on Germany, catastrophic from a geopolitical point of view. These are, to a first approximation, the initiators of the ensuing world massacre. No thanks!
