  1. You had two genocidal ideologies hell bent on European domination. Stalin knew what Hitler wanted. And Hitler knew what Stalin wanted. Both regimes had been at each others throats before they allied against Poland. Both knew it was an alliance of momentary convenience. Hitler would have been very much aware of the danger of a war on two fronts. German military planners had warned of that before world war one. In my opinion, both sides knew that war between the two was inevitable at some point. They say history is written by the victor. And nowhere was that more true than in Soviet Russia. Had Germany won the war, it's more than likely Stalin would have been viewed the unredeemable character, and Hitler 'Old Uncle Adolf', who, although he murdered millions, did what needed to be done to save Europe from communism. It's undoubtedly true Hitler feared soviet Russia. You can look at the evidence presented today on troop numbers and soviet preparedness, but Hitler would have gone by gut instinct, even had his intelligence told him otherwise. And Stalin was hoping that Germany and the western powers would bleed themselves dry. Suvorov points out the soviet belief (and the Marxist belief) that communism is spread by war. Was Hitler working to a limited timetable? He seemed to believe so. Germany was ill prepared for a winter war. And he put his hopes in defeating Russia in such a short space of time? Why? And when dealing with characters like Hitler and Stalin, does it really matter who did what first? Whether today's evidence backs up Hitler's fears or not, what matters was what he believed. And for that there is plenty of reason to suspect war between the two at some point.

  2. Андрей Борцов It is simply a fact. Stalinist Russia was every bit as bad as Hitler's Germany. One genocidal mass murderer going to war against another genocidal mass murderer does not make one less worse than the other.

  3. Андрей Борцов It doesn't really matter what a citizen of either Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia thought, as they lived under brutal murderous dictatorships. If your argument is that Stalinist Russia was no better or no worse than the US or the UK, then by your logic, Nazi Germany, being as bad as Stalinist Russia, was no better or no worse than the US and the UK also. But is that really an argument you want to be making?
