  1. Sadly soviet union actually took control of most of the countries that became free with the ultimate breakdown of the soviet union, that currently appear to be the main aim of Putin to restore to Russian control to say it has restored the Soviet Union. Like now the Baltic countries Poland, Yugoslavia, Czech Republic, Hungary were all independant, though many had close ties with Germany/Austria. Big parts of present Poland were in fact under German rule. Anyhow if anything Gemany was defeated on Soviet side as its losses there depleted resources to continue fighting in the western side. But under US pressure, to my understanding, the Soviet occupation of eastern Europe and Baltic States was allowed to un challenged in part to get out of continued fighting. Much of Eutope left in poorer state than had Germany won. Not that I agree with the EXTREMELY BAD , IMMORAL aspects of Nazi actions. One point, majority of northern and western regions of Germany suffered under Nazi rule and resisted the Nazi regime. Majority of soldiers sent into war were scared conscripts much like present Russian troops in Ukraine, and faced firing squads for refusing to serve. Younger children/teens were forced into youth leagues fir indoctrination, and gained extra credits for dobbing on anyone not following party lines and doctrine. Fear abounded. A frequently overlooked fact, Hitler was NOT German but Austrian from very close to Yugoslave border. A region that in not so distant past had internal genocide issues, a war that US helped clearup. But those regions have a long history of cultural genocide. Further Hitler was a military courier in WW I and was almost killed by a Mustard gas attack leaving him somewhat brain damaged, needing many months of on hospital recovery. Hitlervwas NOT fully supported through out Germany most power and actual votes that put him into political position was by Bavarian voters, who always have more link to Austria than Germany while remaing one of the number of United States making up Germany.

  2.  @stanspb763  likely you are not from families that suffered under Nazi rule, or families trapped in East Germany living so many years under Soviet rule. I suggest you are fooled by propoganda and distortion of facts.. I do not rely on any history but family history lived and experienced. Some losing their lives resisting those horrid regiems

  4. He did sideline the rest of the politicians having got the emergency powers. Thereby no other checks and balances leading to dictatorial powers, executing any dissenting politicians and citizens. Thus leading to the horrors of WW II Not far from current Putin created war. Sad is our Victoria Premier, Dan Andrews, used the COVID19 event to grab power and sidelined the rest of parliament under emergency provisions, to autocratically impose the extreme lockdown, mandates and curfew provisions, leading to Melbourne having world record longest lockdown total. Then on expiry of the emergency powers got three independants voting to support to give new non emergency epidemic powers that still to this time give him total over ruling powers to manage epidemic at his control./direction.
