About the "co-authors" of the Second World War
1 September 1939 g., Hitler attacked Poland all over the Polish-German border. From this date are usually counting the Second World War. By September 17 Poland as a state ceased to exist. One of the initiators of the participation of Warsaw in the Munich section of Czechoslovakia - Jozef Beck - September 17 1939, fleeing from the advancing forces of his recent ally - Germany, fled to Romania. He was followed by Rydz-Smigly. Only after this, the Red Army troops crossed the Soviet-Polish border, starting their liberation campaign, which lasted only 5 days and was warmly welcomed by the local population - Ukrainians, Belarusians, Jews ...
Today, Western propaganda claims that World War II began with the Non-Aggression Pact between Germany and the USSR 1939. At the same time, any objective researcher understands that the division of Europe, the direction of the attack of the aggressor to the east, the division of neighboring countries, together with Hitler, began Poland, Hungary, England, France, with the notable role of the USA, who always skillfully used world wars to solve their economic problems. The climax of their alliance with Hitler was the “Munich Agreement” 1938 of the year, which dismembered Czechoslovakia, after which all of Stalin’s foreign policy efforts were to delay Hitler’s attack and the United Europe ally of the USSR, pushing the future front as far as possible from his state and industrial centers, to avoid war on two fronts - with Germany and his ally Japan (whose “contribution” to the unleashing of world war in the West is “geographically” overlooked).
To this day, even in Russian official historiography, it is usually not customary to consider the seizure of Czechoslovakia by a coalition of European countries as part of the Second World War — but only its prehistory. In this regard, it is very important to remember that it was Soviet Russia that was always opposed to the Munich Accords and the subsequent seizure of all Czechoslovakia - in fact, even then Berlin began to subordinate ethnically non-German lands with the help of military force.
Munich and the subsequent complete takeover of Czechoslovakia with its great economic potential brought Germany to the level of the most industrialized country in Europe, and allowed for a substantial and “spasmodic” growth in its military production. By the way, during the war the bulk of German armored personnel carriers were produced at Czech enterprises. A BTR Sd. Kfz.251 (towing artillery systems), according to experts, before tanks PzKpfw V, VI constituted the main striking force of the German ground forces. In addition, the seizure of Czechoslovakia allowed Germany to sharply increase the combat potential of its armed forces by 1939 due to the highest quality trophy military equipment. During the attack on Poland, about a third of the German tank fleet were Czech PzKpfw 38 (t). For the first time, PzKpfw 38 (t) was used in battles during the Polish campaign (1939) and in France (1940). Tanks PzKpfw 38 (t) from 8.Panzer Division participated in battles in the Balkans (1941). According to the Barbarossa plan, the Germans fought against the Soviet Union 623 tanks of this type and 41 commander tanks PzBfWg 38 (t).
In other words, only the capture of Czechoslovakia made it possible to technically ensure the German "blitzkrieg" in 1939. Without Munich, 1 September 1939 of the year would hardly have happened!
The Western democracies were well aware of what they were doing, giving Czechoslovakia to Germany, but it was very tempting to pit Germany and the USSR, finally deciding thereby the “Russian question”. They did not consider only the fact that a rabid dog being dragged into a neighbor may first throw himself at his owners.
Sometimes you hear that when the borders of Czechoslovakia were “corrected” by making the composition of its population ethnically more “clean”, the new borders of the “second” Czechoslovakia were guaranteed by London and Paris. However, neither France, nor England, much less Poland, came out in defense of these borders, when 14-15 March 1939. Hitler absorbed the remnants of Czechoslovakia. And a week after the transformation of the Czech Republic into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Hitlerite Germany seized the port of Memel from Lithuania. Although Lithuania’s rights to it were based on the principles of Versailles, no one defended these rights either.
Here it is important to recall a number of pre-war events, clearly highlighting the conciliatory position of "democratic" states in relations with the fascist bloc.
Immediately after Hitler came to power in Germany, the USSR tried to conclude an agreement with Poland on the issue of ensuring regional security. However, in the spring of 1934, Warsaw interrupted these negotiations and signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. In June, 1935 signed the Anglo-German Maritime Agreement, which made it possible for the German Navy to become the dominant military force in the Baltic in the near future. The military-political and economic contacts of Germany with Latvia, Estonia and Finland grew. There were no hopes for the neutrality of these states in the event of a military clash between the USSR and Germany, with the possible support of the Germans Poland.
In 1935, Mr. Mussolini launched a war with Abyssinia. The question is: would Italian aggression be possible in principle in the event of the closure of the Suez Canal, which belonged to Britain and France and was controlled by England? The answer is obvious. And, of course, it would have been impossible if oil supplies to Italy were cut off. However, the “democratic” Europe calmly watched the Italians bombing and shooting the Ethiopians. Even when the Italian army began to use chemical warfare agents, nothing has changed. When in June 1936 Negus of Abyssinia Haile-Selassie spoke from the podium of the “democratic” League of Nations asking for protection from Italian aggression, he was ignored, and the president of democratic Switzerland ordered the Negus to leave the country within 4's hours after the meeting.
Starting a military rebellion, the Spanish dictator Franco could fully count on success in the civil war. In addition to Italy and Germany, he was silently, and sometimes openly supported London and Paris.
At the beginning of 1938, the Union of Poles emerged in the Cieszyn region of Czechoslovakia, organized along the lines of K. Heinlein’s fascist Sudetenman’s party. On September 21, the Polish government makes territorial demands, which Hitler includes in his Gosdenberg memorandum. And 2 November 1938, the Polish army enters the Cieszyn region.
Meanwhile, J. Beck, on the eve of Munich, instructing his ambassador in Berlin for the upcoming conversation with Hitler, sent him a directive, which, in particular, noted: “1. The Government of the Republic of Poland states that, thanks to its position, it paralyzed the possibility of the intervention of the Soviets in the Czech question in the widest sense ...; 2. Poland considers the intervention of the Soviets in European affairs as unacceptable ...; 4. During the past year, the Polish government rejected four times the proposal to join the international intervention in defense of Czechoslovakia. 5. Poland’s immediate claims on this issue are limited to the Cieszyn Silesia region ”(1).
The Polish Ambassador to Germany, Y. Lipsky, who also did not doubt the greatness of Poland, denounced Beck: “From the statements of Goering it was clear that he shares the position of the Polish government on 100% ... He described our step as an“ exceptionally bold action carried out in a brilliant style "... Ribbentrop informed me that the Chancellor (Hitler) gave a high assessment to the policy of Poland" (2).
In turn, I. Ribbentrop testified: “I asked Beck if they had not abandoned the ambitious aspirations of Marshal Pilsudski, that is, from claims to Ukraine. To this he, smiling, answered me that they were already in Kiev itself, and that these aspirations were undoubtedly still alive today ”(3). When Ribbentrop soon arrived in Warsaw, Beck was even more outspoken: “Mr. Beck did not hide the fact that Poland is claiming Soviet Ukraine and access to the Black Sea” (4).
“The dismemberment of Russia lies at the basis of Polish politics in the east, so our possible position will be reduced to the following formula. Poland should not remain passive in this wonderful historical moment. The challenge is to prepare well in advance, both physically and spiritually. The main goal is to weaken and defeat Russia ”(5).
In a conversation with the adviser to the German embassy in Poland, the vice-director of the political department of the Polish Foreign Ministry, M. Kobylyansky, specifically stipulated that he would speak more openly than the minister could afford, said: “The issue of Carpathian Rus is crucial for us. You see how disturbing this question is in our Ukrainian regions. We have suppressed, and will suppress this anxiety. Do not make it impossible for us to conduct our policy. If Carpathian Rus withdraws to Hungary, Poland will subsequently agree to side with Germany in the march on Soviet Ukraine ”(6). It is significant that in both cases the price that the Polish leaders were prepared to pay for the agreement with the Germans was the entry into the war against the USSR on the side of Nazi Germany.

It was long overdue to consider moving the date for the start of 2 World War X from September 1 1939 (the date of the German attack on her former ally Poland) on March 14 1939 - the day when Germany devoured the remnants of Czechoslovakia and began to seize ethnically non-Germans lands. And in both cases, everything happened with the full connivance of the European democracies.
At the same time, by the decision of the European Parliament, not 30 of September (date of the signing of the Munich Agreement), but 23 of August of 2011 (the day when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was concluded in 1939) was first celebrated in Europe as the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Totalitarianism, usually understood as victims of Nazism and communism - without pointing out the direct complicity of the “democratic” countries of Europe and the USA, as well as numerous European collaborators in the crimes of totalitarianism.
A few days ago, on the occasion of the 72 anniversary of the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the US Embassy in Estonia issued a statement in which, along with Nazi Germany, it laid the responsibility for the start of World War II on the USSR.
In general, in the recent history of Russia, the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty of 1939 plays a significant political role.
At one time, by giving this treaty the name "Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact", the ideologists of "perestroika" used it in the arsenal of ideological means of crushing the USSR. Now the European winners in the cold war are clearly trying to repeat history, imposing the thesis on the identity of Nazism and communism.
In fact, for the USSR, the conclusion of this treaty was a brilliant foreign policy success, which allowed our country (under the conditions of the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis) to prevent an almost inevitable war simultaneously on two fronts: with Germany and Italy in the west and with Japan in the east. There is every reason to believe that after the Munich Accords and the subsequent occupation of the remnants of Czechoslovakia, the countries of the “axis”, strongly encouraged by “Western democracies, would have jointly opposed our country in the context of the growing pan-European crisis.
Under these conditions, the leadership of the USSR, headed by I.V. Stalin simply had to take the country out of the danger hanging over her, which was done thanks to the signing of the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty in Moscow on the night of August 9, 24.
Note that by the time the Treaty was signed, the military conflict in the Far East was far from over. 4-8 September 1939 Japanese tried several times to launch a counterattack, but were repulsed. Only 15 September was signed truce, and 16 September it entered into force (neutrality pact with Japan was signed only 13 on April 1941 g.). Assessing the importance for the USSR of concluding a non-aggression pact with Germany, it should be noted that in Japan the defeat and the simultaneous signing of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact (as noted in the telegrams of R. Zorge) led to the government crisis and the resignation of Hiranuma Kiichiro's cabinet, and later to the triumph of the so-called "sea party", defending the idea of expansion in the direction of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. This circumstance steadily changed the "vector" of Japanese aggression from the Soviet to the Anglo-American direction. Moreover, the appearance of the Siberian divisions near Moscow in December of 1941 was one of the direct results of the Soviet-German treaty of the year 1939. Is this why the effect achieved by the Soviet Union from the conclusion of the Treaty with Germany still provokes a sharply negative reaction in the West?
The conclusion is obvious. The immediate culprits of the outbreak of the Second World War, along with Germany, were France, England (and the USA), as well as the “Versailles freaks” - numerous limitropic states located along the periphery of the USSR. In addition, Britain, France and other states of the current European Union are responsible for cooperation with Nazi Germany at all stages of the war, for mass collaborationism. It was for this purpose that the “Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Totalitarianism” was needed in order to erase these unattractive facts from the history of Europe and the USA ...
