Headline: "Hitler’s Secret Order to His Troops – 6"

If you ever wondered what Nazi propaganda in its purest form looked like, well, here it is:

"...God's mercy on our people and the entire European world if this barbaric enemy had been able to move his tens of thousands of tanks before we moved ours!...

"This is a result of nearly a twenty-five-year-long Jewish rule that, as bolshevism, is basically similar to the general form of capitalism.
The bearers of this system in both cases are the same: Jews and only Jews."

In fact, Stalin's plans -- like those of so many others in 1940 -- were to repeat the First World War, only this time Russia would wait patiently until after Germany and France had destroyed each other, then move to take over Europe.
After France collapsed so quickly, Stalin had no plans except to defend the Soviet Union against a possible German attack, in 1942.

As for the "similarity" alleged by Hitler, between Bolshevism and capitalism, that is the Big Lie which even today Liberals, Progressives and such want us to believe: oh, they're all the same, those communists and capitalists.
Hitler called it "the general form of capitalism."
In other words: as generally understood in socialist countries like Nazi Germany -- a form which was not capitalism at all, but rather Fascism, and yes, indistinguishable in practical terms from Bolshevism...

Finally, Hitler himself must have known the ultimate irony to his words, since his former boss and ally, German General Eric Ludendorf was responsible for putting Vladimir Lenin on that sealed train in order to foment the Revolution which would take Russia out of the First World War.

The Soviet Union in 1941 was "Bolshevik" because Germany had made it Bolshevik in 1917 as an act of war against Russia.
