  1. A cold winter came when a Soviet counteroffensive occurred near Moscow. In fact, Barbarossa’s plan failed before the onset of the cold: according to him, the entire European part of the USSR was to be occupied by October 1941, and the Red Army was destroyed to the Dnieper line. That did not happen.

  2. Bob Finkenbiner Stop demonizing the Soviet government. You can just say: I hate socialism, but you do it in the form of a historical discussion. No need to make the Soviet people idiots who do not know for whom they will fight and change sides a several times - this is a form of informational aggression!

  3. What does emotional aggression of drivers have to do with historical topics? For some reason, you think you know better how Russia should live than its leaders. I look not only at the facts but at their general direction. I see a negative vector in your rhetoric. This is a form of informational aggression. The condemnation of the Russian leaders means that you disagree with the historical choice of the peoples of Russia. That is, you want to go against her history.

  4. "The Fuhrer again sharply criticizes the General Staff ... The Fuhrer is right in saying ... that Stalin timely carried out this reform [purge of the Red Army Command] and therefore now enjoys its benefits. If such a reform is imposed on us today by our defeats, but then for ultimate success it is too late". (Diary of Goebbels, March 5, 1945).

  5. Germany was able to complete re-equipment of the army in a short time thanks to the significant militarization of the economy as early as 1934. But increasing the maximal level of production takes time. This was said by Hitler himself before the war.

It was achieved by the heroism and blood of the Russian army."

  11. Irish Price Africa was a peripheral theater of war. The last strategic plan of Germany was destroyed as a result of the failure of Barbarossa. This was the last strategic goal for Germany and its failure meant the loss of war.

  12. If you know the other strategic goals of Germany in 1941, tell me about it.

  13. I am now talking about concrete facts, and not about the national interpretation of these facts in different countries. Do you have German documents that show that Germany had other strategic plans (except for Barbarossa) in 1941? Do you have documents that show that after this period she changed her main strategic and economic effort to other military theaters? I am now talking only about German documents.

  16. Это фрик, не историк. Его теории давно опровергнуты. Всеми учеными, не только российскими. Когда ты веришь этому публицисту то плюешь в свою историю. Деструктивная деятельность.

  19. Japan could not attack the USSR because it signed an agreement on neutrality with it in April 1941. This was the result of differences between Germany and Japan after the conclusion of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Japan considered this to be a betrayal of the ideas of the anti-Comintern pact and the old government withdrew to the resignation. The new concluded an agreement with the USSR and sent its aggression to the south.
