Some people today question why the UK entered against Hitler’s fascism instead of against Stalin’s communism. After all, Stalin started the war. The UK entered the war as Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin, and Hitler was blitzkreiging Britain’s free allies in Europe and threatening the UK. Stalin wasn’t doing that.
What’s funny is that if you listen to the Soviet Propaganda before Barbarossa, they defended the Nazis, and said that it was “Capitalists” driving the British to fight against Hitler.
Suddenly after Hitler invades, the Soviets go to the Brits and basically said, “No hard feelings, eh, pal?
This view is why Churchill was in the Wilderness in the 1930s amongst his fellow Tories. That was precisely how they saw it, that the Bolsheviks were the bigger threat than Hitler, and that Hitler could be useful against them. Churchill knew otherwise, even though of course, he was no fan of Stalin.
Britain. Sold out the Poles and the Chetniks for uncle Joe and tito.
