NOTE: If Germany didn't attack Russia, We might all be speaking
in German right now as the US won't have the capabilities to move
into France without getting heavy losses
Russia won't attack Germany even though 4 to 5 division were placed
as border patrols, They were under strict and severe orders from
Stalin himself to be 40km from the actual borders and to avoid
provocations
And also, Germany was this close to capturing Moscow
If Germany didnt attack Russia,Russia would have attacked
Germany,most suspect this would have taken place somewher ein 1949.
The non-aggression pact has been acknowledged by most as a treaty
both sides needed. Germany cldnt go to war with Russia then and
Russia had just purged it's entire army command.
the germans should have never allied with the japanese.
without the japanese as their allies, the japs will not bomb pearl
harbour. and US wun have gone into the war.
and without the US in the war involvement, the germans would have
had control over europe.
the japanese were the allied forces in WWI. i still dun understand
why must they join the Nazi thugs.
contray to popular belief, it was Germany who declared war on
the USA rather then the other way round. However this point is moot
since the US was practically at war with them thru it's lend lease
deal
erm
if germany didn't attack russia, we would be speaking german right
now. maybe..but why? because germany suffered heavy casualties
invading russia. not because russia's military capabilities, but
because the weather was so cold that the german army literally
froze to death. how do you invade an ice cold russia at that
time?
Well while the cold did play a part it really was the 100 fresh
crack siberian divisions that really turned the tide of the war.
Armed with the best weapons and with winter clothing as well as
being well lead and being super fresh, these guys were given the
task of stopping the German army.
precisely.
russia is very cold and that's the advantage the russians used
against their enemies.
even the swedes who once tried to invade russia were
repelled.
the livonian & teutonic knights lost the crusade against the
russians as well.
the french under napoleon also lost the war against the
russians.
The teutonic knights lost to lituania(spelling?) and poland not
russia.
They were stopped somewhere near kalingrad(East prussia back
then)
The Mongols overan most of the russian duchies. The likes of kiev
and moscovy.
The swedes if i'm not mistaken actually won the war and took
finland?That i'm not too sure.
partly it's because of communism.
another thing is that the leaders are too agressive on the russian
side. they are bent on competing with the US for world domination
and power, without knowing that during stalin's regime, he killed
more than a million of the russians to secure his position. and
because of the war, which the soviets suffered the highest
casualties.
therefore, having suffered the hardship and losses of the war, the
russian had to rebuild, but instead they started the cold war which
is a bad move.
thus, they lost to the US and suffered poverty once
again.
Actually it wasnt that. It was that the Russians tried too hard
to out do the US. As such, they invested less in trying to improve
the life of the people and more on the military. This took place in
the early 80's and cause the crash in the 90's.
I did remember coming across a book that suggested that the US
intended to invade Russia and push Russian forces back after the
Russians capture Berlin. Supposedly, they even wanted to mobilise
and re-equip the surrendered Germans to fight the Russians.
Heh, one part of the book said, "The Germans could be relied on to
know how to fight."
They felt that after Nazi Germany fell, the next biggest threat to
the freedom of Europe was Communist Soviet Union. And since they
already had the troops in place, they actually could fix Europe
once and for all.
yea i read that took. I dont know why they stopped hah.
