The whole article misses the point: the phrasebook and plans show that the Soviets would have
joined not opposed, a Nazi invasion of Britain.
Why else would instructions be given on how to take English speaking prisoners?

For a country so fixated on uniform policy and mass production, could a forgotten little phrasebook be so important?
It would have been everywhere, were it not just another contingency plan out of hundreds of bizarre scenarios. We would have heard about it.

Another possibility is that Stalin was aware of British plans to hold Norway against the Germans, and was considering taking advantage of the situation to grab it himself.
