    The cat and mouse game between Hitler and Stalin on the Eastern Front makes for fascinating and horrifying reading. How both of them used their own people as pieces on a giant chess board.
    Stalin was actually caught completely off guard. He thought he and Hitler were going to divide Europe between them.

    Blockading The UK would not have worked, as evidenced by two world wars. Hitler's strategic downfall was switching from going after the RAF to going after population centers. The RAF could not have sustained even two more months of being targeted. It wasn't that they weren't good. Attrition was their enemy.

    Don't know about the bunk you're posting but I can make an observation. Your tactics suck. This is two threads you've made a baseless statement then demanded others disprove it. Most assertions come with some form or evidence, argument, or opinion at least, not a schoolyard challenge.

    You are clueless as hell. It is verified fact that Hitler had drawn up plans years before to use Russia as an ally then turn to conquer Russia at an opportune moment. Would not matter if your post was true or not about the 42'43 accusation... It was in the German/Nazi plan all along. God, you ignorant of history people irk me to no end!!
    Damn , dude do you not know that top German leaders, military and otherwise survived the war and wrote books and articles about all this over the decades since ?
    Additionally that we and the Russians seized massive amounts of Nazi government documents that revealed the strategy and plans Hitler used!
    Here is a hint, buy some WW2 history books or else do a competent Google search on this. -Tyr

    It's been a long time since we've had a Nazi stop by the board!

    That explains the low intelligence, education level and hatred of Israel.

    The Nazi's would have been well-served to have an Israel. They could just ship all the Jews there and dump them rather than what they actually did about the Jews and the ramifications they faced for it.

    So when did you try doing that to the pals?
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    So, Artur, how long have you been a Nazi?

    I really didn't think there were any left to speak of these days. They kinda have a less-than-desirable reputation, what with the whole fascism and genocide thing.

    I wouldn't take Churchill's word for anything . When Drunk or Sober..

    While it's true that the Fuhrer had at one time dreams of expanding the reich into slavic held territory under soviet control, ;all these dreams were abandoned by 41-42

    The lack of resources and the inability to compete with the Brit navy convinced the fuhrer to drive south eastward toward Iran .
    To cut the brits off from the canal and to acquire oil from Iran.

    it was all ad hoc after that especially when Rommel couldn't hold on to bengazi .. you've heard of bengazi haven't you..

    This led the fuhrer to decide the only other course which was, to level a knockout punch to the soviets in light of the fact that war with stalin was inevitable.
