  11.  @user-jq2iz9zn4p  . No. If Hitler died on July 20,1944 in Operation Valkyrie, Stalin had no chance to defeat Germany because Kriegsmarine was at least 100 times better than the Red Navy during 1940s. The Wehrmacht rebels would immediately make peace with Anglo-Americans. All German loss to Anglo-Americans after July 21,1944 would be saved, including the super-battleship Tirpitz and hundreds of Me262 jet fighters. The last resort of Wehrmacht is always moving their headquater to the supper battleship Tirpitz, which would be protected by battleship Gneisenau and tens of Kriegsmarine battlecruisers. Tell me how your Russian friends could defeat the Kriegsmarine with their pathetic Red Navy? If your Russian friends wanted to air strike Tirpitz, sorry it's impossible because hundreds of Me262 were waiting for the Red Army's pathetic aircrafts. In the actual history, lots of German lands along the Baltic coastline were still under German's firm control when Berlin fell. The reason is quite simple: those areas were protected by superior firepower of Kriegsmarine's cruisers and battleships, and Red Army's 100,000 T-34 tanks posed no threat to German cruisers and battleships. When you realize these facts, you can easily see that Red Army would never be able to occupy Jutland Peninsula, because Kriegsmarine's firepower could fully cover the entire Peninsula from the sea. Only Anglo-American can defeat the Germans headquartered in Jutland Peninsula. Your Russian friends had zero chance.

  22.  @user-jq2iz9zn4p  . You still don't get the basic logic behind my argument. Let me summarize for you. 1. History is a randomized probabilistic process, not Karl Marx's determinism. There is no physical law says Hitler must live through May 1945. It's a reasonable theory that Hitler could die anytime during WW2. 2. If Hitler died of Stauffenberg's bomb on July 20, 1944, Operation Valkyrie would succeed and Wehrmacht rebels would make peace with Churchill to stop Anglo's offensive. Churchill would accept the call and form an alliance with Wehrmacht to contain Russians within the 1938 border. Please remember that neIther Cairo meeting nor Potsdam meeting had happened yet, Churchill's not bonded by any formal agreement at this moment. On the US side, George Patton would agree with Churchill almost 100%. But FDR would not. The result is likely being neutral, offering no help to either Churchill or Stalin. Actually FDR would regard this as a chance to move US military from Europe to the Pacific theater to fight the crazy Japanese. 3. With Anglo's help and American's neutrality, Speer was able to recover German military industry in 6 months. 1945's German production will surpass 1943 and 1944. Stalin's Red Army could be stopped at 1938 Russia border. 4. In the worst case Red Army could break the 1938 border and occupy Berlin. But Wehrmacht can retreat to Jutland. No way Stalin can defeat Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe during his lifetime. With Anglo's help, Germans will recover most part of Germany in a few years. Note this is the worst case scenario. Stalin doesn't have choice. For example, 90% aircraft fuel of Soviet was supplied by lend-lease. As the fuel stops going to Soviet and instead going to Luftwaffe, soviet airplanes cannot fly while Luftwaffe becomes 100 times stronger. Simply no way Red Army can defeat Anglo-aided Wehrmacht.

  33.  @Mentol_  1. This is an example of your lie, because I took account of your so-called "Soviet grain near Moscow and Urals". After 1941 Operation Barbarossa, the size of your grain fields during spring&summer 1942 was reduced to 20% - 30% of spring&summer 1941. Right before July 1942 when Mainstein was reassigned to Leningrad, this number was further reduced to 10% because his German divisions destroyed grain fields in Volga region by pushing towards Stalingrad. Do you even know what "major" as in "majority" means in English? Is 10% major enough to fulfill your soviet lies? Sure, your grain field was not reduced to zero in 1942 and 1943, but severe reduction in grain fields and heavy loss of young male labor force did lead to famine. With only 10% grain field harvestable and lack of labor force to harvest grain fields, it means you will have several months gap in food supply in 1943. How can your grandpas fight the well-supplied German without eating for several months? If you are not a liar, then you must be a delusional lunatic. 2. Harry Hopkins is a suspect of Russian spy inside US government. His words about Soviet are not considered as credible source. Conflict of interest is ostentatious here. In your Russian logic, conflict of interest may not be an issue; but in Anglo-American world, it is a critical issue. You know the Anglo judicial system would exclude all persons with conflict of interest in a jury. Please see Akira Kurosawa's lengendary movie Rashomon to understand why your Russian logic is invalid. 3. I am not demonizing you. Your Russian logic and Russian common sense demonize yourself.
