It is said that history is written by the victors. It has also been said that in war, truth is the first casualty. No doubt for the winning side, it remains a casualty. This is an old story. For example, Napoleon once said, "History is a set of lies agreed upon." Tolstoy also said, "History would be a wonderful thing. If it were only true." I will also show you a meme of somebody who to me had an even more insightful view on the matter.

I see you have "drank the Kool Aid." If history repeats itself, it will be because of people like you. Here is the REAL history. Hitler wasn't the bad guy. Stalin was. And we were the bad guys for backing Stalin. In total, Russian communists were said to have been responsible for the untimely deaths of 80 to 100 million people. And the number is far greater than even 100 million if you count all those who died untimely deaths at the hands of the communist Chinese. Who most likely wouldn't have gained power if not without help from the communist Russians. The Korean and Vietnamese wars were part of the payback we got from that. As well as the Iron Curtain in Europe, the cold war and the world nearly being destroyed in nuclear war with the Russians on a few different occasions.

Also, in 1933 Italian counsel Sergio Gradenigo wrote that he estimated the number of Ukrainians to have been murdered by communists Russians to be 10 to 15 million. To the Ukrainians, Hitler wasn't an invader. He was a saviour! I will show you a picture with a quote of something said by somebody who used to be the head of the NKVD in Russia. His name was Genrikh Yagoda. He is said to have been responsible for the untimely deaths of at least 10 million people. He was also a jew. Does that fact make this reply too "anti-semitic" for this forum? Well that doesn't change the facts. And facts are what I am all about.

Ah, more bullshit history written by the victors. Here is the REAL history. After WW I, Germany had to secede some of its territory to Poland. Including the city of Danzig. Hitler deported 60 to 70% of its jews to Palestine under the Haavara Agreement. No doubt there were many Polish jews who didn't like that. So they murdered ethnic Germans there. And probably Russian spies did the same thing in Poland to provoke the Germans into invading to protect ethnic Germans. Which they did. So it wasn't German aggression that started the war. It was German protection of their own people. Also, about two weeks later the Russians also invaded Poland. Where was the declaration of war on them when they did so. Or two or three weeks later when they also invaded Finland. I doubt if this reality will change your mind. Because it takes quite a bit of courage to go against the comfortable lie.

I will give you that Stalin was a bad as Hitler. He only proved worse because he was allowed to continue on while Hitler was not.

The number of Ukrainians killed during the Holdomor is estimated between 4-7m. Your numbers are greatly exaggerated. Since I usually argue I can see why Finns and/or Ukrainians would choose to fight for Germany instead of Stalin's Russia, please feel free to not fudge numbers/exaggerate. It is unnecessary to making an argument.

I know about the Danzig corridor and that USSR invaded Poland when Germany did I also know USSR took the Baltics during that time and they were brutal as hell in all 4 cases. the brutality of Stalin in those cases is seldom referenced because he was on the winning side.

The Germans wouldn't have caused the Iron Curtain in Europe. Neither would they have caused a "cold war." Nor would we have come close on three different occasions to destroying the world in nuclear war. But we nearly did with the Russians. Also, Germany was an advanced Western culture. More advanced than us. And probably still are. The Russians were a bunch of backwards savages. In total, Russian communists were responsible for the greatest genocide in human history. 80 to 100 million murdered! Also, they were and are also an oriental country. Not a Western one. Also, after Germany and Russia took over Poland, both sides took many Polish prisoners of war. The Russians executed around 22,000 of theirs in the Katyn Massacre. The Nazis didn't do that shit with their Polish POW's. Only a brain damaged fiend would have backed Stalin. Or support our having done so. Also, maybe I would be better off asking Gunny. But I wonder if i would be allowed here to completely destroy the holocaust myth here.

Also, by backing Hitler, it is doubtful that the Chinese communist would have ever gained power. Who gave us the Korean and Vietnamese wars. And were responsible for the untimely deaths of tens of millions of their own people. And had Hitler won, Chinese hackers wouldn't have stolen most of, if not all of our secret military technology. Which they have.

The Von Ribbentrop Pact was a nonaggression agreement between Hitler and Stalin. Had not Hitler invaded Russia, Stalin was more than happy to divide Eastern Europe with Hitler. It was not until Hitler invaded Russia that Russia entered the war. It was not until Hitler declared war on the US after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor then declared war that the US declared war on Germany.

The Allies were more than fine with throwing some supplies at Stalin so he'd throw bodies at Hitler while they played catch-up like they think they're going to do next time based on current preparations. Churchill hated Stalin. Since Stalin was in it thanks to Hitler whether or not he wanted to be, might as well use him.

Your version of events is not just incorrect, but fabricated.


History is written by the victors. That doesn't make it correct. Russia was told in advance that Germany was going to invade Poland. It wouldn't surprise me if they planned on doing it together. And that Russia held back to make sure that Hitler took the fall for it. There has been much talk of what a warmonger Hitler was. Such as his previous "invasion" of Czechoslovakia. But after WW I, Germany lost much territory. In both Poland and what was to become Czechoslovakia. Which had a sizable German population. In both cases, it isn't as if Hitler just invaded some country that otherwise they had nothing to do with. He went into countries that already had a sizable German population. You know, Germany didn't start WW I. They just got sucked into it like everybody else. They were just painted as the bad guys because they happened to be the biggest opponents. After the war, they not only had to give up much territory, but had to pay back a HUGE amount of money for reparations for a war they didn't start. Germany finally paid off its reparations in 2010.

Now Hitler wasn't perfect. His declaring war on the U.S. in support of the Japanese was the biggest mistake he made. Though they fought, I don't think Japan ever officially declared war on Russia. Also, I had read elsewhere that Roosevelt was in talks with Russia too. The Russians knew that if they went to war with Germany, they would receive much help from the U.S. You also brought up Germany invading Russia. Hitler wasn't that stupid. He knew that would mean having enemies on both sides. He invaded Russia because he found out that Russia was about to invade them. That could be why at first, Germany kicked ass. Because Russian forces were arrayed for attack. Not defense. According to one historian I was reading about, he said that Germany beat Russia to the punch by only one day.

There was a book written on the matter that was supposedly "debunked" by history written by the victors spin doctors. The book was written by an actual Russian Military Intelligence officer who had defected to the West named Vladmir Rezun. Under the pseudonym Viktor Suvorov. The book was called, "Icebreaker: Who Started The Second World War." I will show you a chart that shows how the German and Russian forces stacked up against each other before they went to war with each other. The Russians clearly had an advantage. Germany had no choice but to attack first and get the drop on the Russians.
