Stalin did not plan an attack in 1941...because, because...
But in 1942 ? More build up, more trucks, more training, more heavy tanks....and germany more wasted against England (blockades Germans)...Less and less oil and material from Russia..Molotov was already demanding more and more (territory here and there) for its oil....politically it would crack up anyhow.
When ? when Stalin would be CONFIDENT.
Also, I learned (and neglected this data) the russians had INSANELY much amphibious tanks. AMPHIBIOUS !
WHY ?.
To cross rivers in an AGRRESSIVE attack..amphibious tanks are rarely intended for DEFENSES behind rivers...
And there were a lot of crossing rivers in poland and germany.....aaaaaand going further to Holland, Belgium and France !!!!!
And what about ALL The PARATROOPERS that Stalin built up.
PARATROOPERS !!!!! That is NOT DEFENSIVE!
Keitl agressive on France, Norway etc...yes.
BUt hey, Stalin aggressive on Finland, baltics, Ukraine, Poland...........WOoooooooaaaah!
If your opponent neighbour has guns and axes laying around, and is tinkering on a machinegun..(not at all "defensive weapons) and you had and used a pistol before....and you decided to strike first ..yes , judiciary you are the agressor...but factually, if then you discover in his house so much more weapons (mortars, grenades, kegs of powder, poison)..then yes you have PROOF he was up to something evil pretty soon.
So that idea you have not taken away.
You rely on published documents in commercial books. You REALLY think you find anything the COMMUNISTS would indict themselves is published or available now ??
(and really?"you don't have documents of Stalin's HC so therefore you have NO PROOF"...there are SPIES everywhere and all the time..and one can DEDUCT intentions from many other docuements and actions...).
The hardware speaks for itself.And stalin had the (economic) trumps in his hands...also TIME was on his side.
And he BELIEVED in his communism ideal, and KNEW there are many many idolate communist followers IN WEST EUROPE waiting for him to liberate them. Sometimes up to 50% (Greece, France) communists and socialists.
Time would only enhance this. And the more nazi occupation, the more this would grow.
Of course Keitl told anything to favour his case in the Nurenburg court.But THAT in itself also doesNOT take away the obvious notion that Stalin was building up to an invasion (or call it global revolution) at some point in the future..
How much does a bunker(system) cost..and how much do tanks and planes cost ?
Stalin did not build bunkers...why ? it could have started way back in 1935 like the french..and it could have coverd much more and more consistent line of defense (and not having a "belgium gap").
The failure of the Maginot (incuding belgium gap) only showed in 1940.
