Correct.
Of course here’s what would have been interesting. Thalmann, was loyal to Moscow, but I question if a Communist Germany would have been happy taking orders from Moscow, or would they have tried to wrestle leadership of the world Communist movement from Moscow, and if so, would there still have been war between Germany and Russia?
And if I could pick one person I could go back and kill in hindsight, I would make the case for Karl Marx.
