"Stalingrad"  I didn't realize how brutal the Soviets were, to both the Germans and themselves.  A few examples are a Commissar executing a 19 year old company commander a week after he joined the unit due to 5 guys deserting.  Russians attacking without weapons.  And of course only 3000 German Stalingrad POWs surviving the war, out of 100K+ captured.

I illustrate the Soviet atrocities because we know how bad the Germans were.  But the Communist were just as bad.

If the Soviets were not cruel to their own there would be no Russians left in in Russia, if the Germans would have won in the east the methods they had perfected in the concentration camps would  have been used on a bigger scale.

The reason there were only 3000 German left out of 100k is because they invaded someone else’s country committed atrocities and showed no mercy the Russians.

If the Japanese had invaded the US and did what the Germans did would the US been any different.

Makes me wonder why people read books just to reinforce their existing views.

By the way it’s nothing to do with Facism or Communism, it’s a cultural ideology, The Germans can’t stop starting wars and losing them, and they need to control everyone else because they are domineering, the Russians have always been cruel to each other and slightly odd.

The further east you go the odder the people get, from Britain across Europe the crueler they become, eventually you end up in Japan, I rest my case.

Hitler and Germany lost the War in the East during the winter of 1941-42, they just didn't realize it till the following year.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Poland invaded Russia and Germany in 1919  under Pilsudski :)

 :)

Poland’s behaviour between the wars was not particularly good :old:

Henry Ford and Joseph Kennedy look them up as well they were nasty pieces of work between the wars.

When you lot stop funding Germany’s pretend economy will they start another war?

Russia signed a pact with Germany. They were very much alike.

Soviets had gulags and the NKVD, Germany had extermination camps and the Gestapo.  Both were run by sociopaths.  Communism killed far more people due the duration of Stalin's reign.

I believe that Zack is correct. We were so eager to promote democracy is the former USSR states that we supported their economies to some point or the other. We politically supported Yeltzin.
