[Semper Paratus]

From the Ribbontrop-Molotov Pact to Operation Barbarossa Stalin was completly indifferent to the fate of Great Britain who was fighting all alone.

After June 22 the British commies went from somabulent to frenetic demanding a 2nd Front NOW!

Problem is: if a second front didn't open up, there was fear that once the Germans were pushed back enough, Stalin would sue for peace. He actually put feelers out to OKW in 1943 after Stalingrad.
