Good morning. I went back & watched the first part of the Soviet Story again this morning. The first part goes into gruesome detail about the starvation the Soviets inflicted in Ukraine. As far as the Soviets & the Nazis, here’s the gist of it:
In 1924 when Hitler established the Nazi Party, it was obvious that there were only minor differences between it & communism. Since it wasn’t a big sell to the Germans, Hitler changed tactics and start emphasizing different things, but his internal circle understood that Nazism was basically Marxism. His was National Socialism, instead of international socialism.
After Hitler annexed Austria, & occupied Czechoslovakia,it became clear that he intended further assaults on Europe. Stalin refused to join an anti-Hitler coalition. In 1939 Stalin & Hitler signed a pact. Stalin was happy to let Hitler take the lead in destroying the old order in Europe, figuring he would come in after & take over. Stalin was willing to provide the Nazis with economic aid to allow Hitler to proceed with his war. When Hitler attacked Poland from the west, Stalin came in & attacked from the east. An act of aggression, not an attempt to help the Poles. Essentially they went to war together & divided the country between them. Justification: fighting ‘polish fascism’. But Stalin & Hitler had already agreed on more than Poland. In a secret protocol signed a week before the war started, they had agreed on how to divide Europe between them. The Soviets attacked Finland and then Norway. Soviet & Nazi officers often fraternized & discussed how the war was going. Soviets provided the raw materials that kept the Nazi war machine going. Soviet citizens were starving as food was being sent to the Germans. As the Germans continued westward, the Soviets attacked Lithuania & Estonia.
Then finally the worm turned & Hitler attacked the Soviets. But until then, the Soviets & the Nazis were allies, & one of the things they were allied to accomplish was to create the ‘new man’, which required killing off whichever population was deemed unacceptable. The Marxist started out intending those to be by class, but ended up like the Nazis, killing off ethnic populations.
Pretty gruesome history, & too few people are aware of the truth today.
Thank you very much.
Even fewer people are aware of the truth who financed the bloodthirsty Communist takeover of Russia in 1917,Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933 and buildup of Nazi war machine to make this gruesome history possible.
I don't believe documentary about this will ever be made. The answer could be found only in dusty books. "Follow the money" and "Follow the works of art" is the best lead.
