To play off and destroy: how the West raised Hitler against the USSR

In the 1920s – 1930s, Germany occupied a special position in the foreign policy of the USSR. The beginning of Soviet-German relations was laid by the international Genoa conference of 1922. During the conference, a peace treaty was signed between Soviet Russia and Germany.

In 1926, the Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality was signed, according to which the USSR and Germany pledged not to attack each other in the event of aggression from third powers, that is, in the event of aggression, not to join these powers. Political and military-technical cooperation began between the USSR and Germany, built on mutually beneficial terms. The Soviet Union was in great need of advanced technologies, so it was vitally important for it in technical terms to reach the level of the advanced countries of Europe and America. Only in this case could the Soviet state ensure the safety of its citizens and raise their cultural and material level.

Germany needed natural resources and a country where it was possible to implement its technical developments, both in the military and in the peaceful sphere of activity. In addition, Germany, humiliated by the Entente, acquired dignity in friendship with the USSR. The falsifiers of our history write that, cooperating with Germany, the USSR contributed to the development of the German military industry and the beginning of World War II. In fact, the USSR contributed to the industrialization of its country, and already in 1937 it took the second place in the world in the production of industrial products.

By accusing the USSR, the counterfeiters are trying to steal the United States into the shadows. It was the United States that helped Germany unleash both the First and Second World Wars with the aim of crushing the Russian Empire and the USSR. It is naive to think that the German leadership in 1914 did not understand that Germany in alliance with Austria-Hungary could not win this war. Without a united Europe under the leadership of the Germans, Germany was clearly not strong enough to defeat Russia alone, and even more so to defeat Russia, France and England (the Entente). But the Germans started the war.

The instigator of the First World War in 1914 was the very Western forces, receiving huge monetary profits from the wars, which sought to weaken Germany and destroy Russia. Of the Western countries, weakening Germany and destroying Russia was advantageous for the United States, which sought to dominate Europe, and, of course, for England, a loyal ally of the United States. Neither the forces of Germany in the period from 1914 to 1918, nor the forces of the interventionists of the Entente countries and Japan in 1918-1922, nor the forces of the White armies of Kaledin, Kornilov, Alekseev, Denikin, Krasnov, Kolchak, Yudenich and Wrangel, who fought with the Soviet Republic in the period from 1918 to 1920 and were fully supported by the West.

Failed to crush Russia and the forces of Poland in 1920. But Poland was able to militarily take away from the Soviet Republic and annex Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. In 1918, Germany began to prevent the Entente from waging a war with Soviet Russia, and in November 1918 a revolution took place in Germany, as a result of which the monarchy collapsed and the Weimar Republic was created. Kaiser's Germany ceased to exist and a parliamentary republic appeared. The United States began preparing Germany for a new war against Russia (USSR) in 1920, when it became finally clear that the six-year war against Russia did not lead to the destruction of the Russian state, which the Bolsheviks had collected and saved, or to the extermination of the Russian nation.

This preparation began with the Treaty of Versailles, which entered into force on January 10, 1920. Germany signed a peace that put her in conditions of complete powerlessness and humiliation. France insisted that Germany return to France two French regions - Alsace and the eastern part of Lorraine, which had been torn away from France after the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. Also, France demanded the transfer of the Saar region, rich in minerals, to it. But the USA and Great Britain did not support the demands of the French. The Saar region was transferred under the control of the League of Nations for 15 years, and the Rhine zone was declared a demilitarized zone, and a temporary occupation regime was introduced there for a period of 15 years.

Thus, the regions rich in minerals and industrial potential were torn away from Germany, but not entirely transferred to France. Denmark and Poland received part of the German lands. Two million Germans were under the jurisdiction of the latter, and Poland received a corridor to the sea passing through Germany. Received the lands of Germany and Belgium. Also, large East Prussian ports in the Baltic - Danzig (Gdansk) and Memel (Klaipeda) - were seized from Germany and transferred under the control of the League of Nations.

Those historians who write that these decisions were dictated by the desire of England, France and America to restore their own forces at the expense of Germany and prevent the growth of its industry and military potential are cunning. For example, the transfer of part of the German lands to Denmark, Belgium and Poland did not in any way affect the restoration of their own forces by these countries, but created an environment for the emergence of revanchist and racist sentiments in Germany.

The goal of Germany was to return the lands transferred to the League of Nations and declared demilitarized zones, as well as the return of lands transferred to other countries. Such decisions in the future aimed Germany at war and the unification of Europe by military force, which turned Germany into a power with a significant superiority in forces and means over the USSR.

The United States was well aware that the Versailles Treaty would bring the USSR and Germany closer together. They were interested in Germany helping to industrialize the USSR, since they did not need a victorious USSR or a victorious Germany. The United States planned to pit two of Europe’s policymakers, equal in strength, in a war, and when Germany and the USSR would bleed in their place, to become two feet in Europe. The Versailles Treaty did indeed bring about a rapprochement between Russia and Germany. At this time, the USSR, like Germany, was subjected to pressure from Western countries and international isolation.

Cooperation between the USSR and Germany was seen as a way out of their international isolation. The USSR and Germany were united by their attitude to Poland, which, thanks to the actions of the Entente, seized the lands of the USSR and the lands of Germany. During this period, the Entente countries, encouraged by the United States, laughed at the Germans, humiliated the Germans, presented them as inferior people. The Germans were told that they were not capable of anything and only knew how to start and lose wars. The Germans were offended, but the First World War, which claimed ten million lives, was really unleashed and lost by Germany, and the Germans were silent, endured, realizing their guilt.

This went on for 15 years. In 1933, the fascist party (organized in 1919), led by Adolf Hitler (Schicklgruber), came to power in Germany. Hitler said: "Germans, you are a great nation, blue blood flows in you." After years of humiliation and insults, the Germans were called a great nation! The Germans were promised the whole world, and all of Germany followed Hitler. This was the intention of the warmongers. The Germans were already beginning to dream of Russian and Ukrainian lands. Under these statements and promises, a religious, mystical foundation was laid with the justification of the greatness of the German nation, with the introduction of special rituals and paraphernalia, in particular the swastika.

At this time, the United States, England continued to invest in the German military industry, and for us, the USSR, despite the measures taken, it was impossible to compete with Germany in the production of weapons and in the number of soldiers and officers in the armed forces. Without active assistance from Germany from the United States and England, the Second World War could not have happened, since Germany was not able to equip the army in the necessary quantities with the most modern weapons for that time and bring its number by 1941 to 8.5 million people.

The United States and Britain have created all the conditions for starting a war to destroy the USSR. The United States had to eliminate two powers that did not allow America to establish a world diktat with their strength and power and to live at the expense of someone else's labor, someone else’s wealth. The elimination of Germany and the Soviet Union opened the way for the United States to dominate the world.

With the coming of Hitler to power, Germany began to prepare for the seizure of the Soviet Union and the destruction of the Russians and other peoples living on its territory. The Germans dreamed about our lands, about a great huge Germany and wished our death. Millions of Germans were ready to kill us all and take our lands and our property. Liberal capitalist ideology drove the Germans and other peoples of Europe to the point that banditry became the norm of their behavior.

In 1936, the Spanish fascists, led by Franco, raised a mutiny, which was prepared and supported by the fascist states - Italy and Germany. By declaring a policy of non-intervention, Britain and France actually sided with the fascists. And it could not be otherwise. After all, it was they and the United States who raised the German military industry and did this with the aim of preparing Germany for an attack on the USSR. Volunteers from all over the world fought against the Nazis in Spain. But there were not so many of them, and they could not win. In 1939, the dictatorship of General Franco was established in Spain.

The Soviet Union also sent volunteers to Spain who fought the Nazis and at first successfully beat them in the air and on the ground. But when the Germans began to use the latest models of technology, ours became convinced that German military equipment, in particular aviation, was superior to Soviet ones. Our fighters I-16 and I-15 were the best in the world, and suddenly it turned out that they belonged to the generation of outdated aviation technology.

Similar conclusions were made for some other types of weapons, in particular for tanks. The Soviet government took all measures to accelerate the development and launch into series of military equipment of a new generation, which is not inferior, and in some cases even superior to similar models of military equipment of other countries. The USSR again performed a miracle, and already in 1941 we had new equipment in the troops, and, most importantly, we could increase its production, which we did throughout the war, since the end of 1942, in the production of weapons, we began to outstrip Germany, together with Europe working for it.

On 7 March 1936, the fascist battalions occupied the Rhine demilitarized zone without resistance. That is why the United States achieved the declaration of the Rhineland as a demilitarized zone in 1920. They kept it for Hitlerite Germany. In April 1939, Italy occupied Albania.

In March 1938, the Anschluss (annexation), or rather the capture of Austria by Germany, took place. On September 29-30, 1938, as a result of the Munich Agreement, Czechoslovakia was divided, and the Sudetenland became part of Germany, and in March 1939 Germany occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia. Japan in 1931 seized Manchuria and by 1938 took possession of a significant part of the territory of China.

Joseph Stalin, in his report at the XVIII Party Congress, said: “The war, which so imperceptibly crept up to the peoples, drew over 500 million people into its orbit, extending its sphere of action over a vast territory - from Tianjin, Shanghai and Cato through Abyssinia to Gibraltar … The new imperialist the war has become a fact. Some of the largest aggressive powers in the world: Germany, Japan and Italy united in a military alliance against the USSR.

Stalin and the Soviet government were worried about both the intention of the Western countries to provoke a military conflict between Germany with its allies and the USSR, and the possible participation of Britain, France and the United States in the war against the Soviet Union. The USSR government had enough reason to be concerned.

Negotiations with Western countries that are not part of the alliance with Germany, which have been underway since the spring of 1939, even at the negotiating table in Moscow, did not bring any results. The English historian Alan Taylor drew attention to the fact that during the correspondence in 1939, Soviet replies came to London in one or two days, and from London to Moscow in one or three weeks. Taylor came to the following conclusion: "If these dates meant anything, then only that the British were pulling, and the Russians wanted to achieve results."

On May 9, 1939, Great Britain rejected the USSR's proposal of April 17 to conclude a Mutual Assistance Pact between the USSR, Great Britain and France, to which Poland and other countries could join if they wished. By the way, Poland passionately wanted to attack the USSR together with Germany. Hitler did not take Poland as an allies against the USSR with a great desire on her part, because he decided to include the Polish lands in the metropolis of Germany, and he did not need the Poles on these lands. The fact that the Polish state exists and the Poles survived as a nation, they are entirely indebted to the USSR, which defeated the armies of Germany and its allies and liberated Poland.

And what Poland would have done in the USSR is evident even in its attitude towards its friendly Czechoslovakia. When the Czechs yielded to "pressure" from France and England, while Germany's ally Poland pounced on Czechoslovakia, as Winston Churchill described it, with "hyena greed", and the Germans were forced to take urgent measures to protect the territory of Czechoslovakia from the Poles.

The facts of the preparation by the West of Germany for the war with the USSR are so obvious that they do not stand up to criticism. Why did England and France refuse to sign a mutual assistance treaty with the USSR in May 1939 and thus refused, when it was not too late, to neutralize the aggressive aspirations of Germany? Prior to that, they gave Germany Austria and Czechoslovakia, and given the fact that they refused to sign an agreement with the Soviet Union, these countries can be called direct participants in the outbreak of World War II. They did not sign a mutual assistance treaty with the USSR, as they were sure that the war would not reach them: England would serve on their island, and France - behind the Maginot Line.

They hoped for mutual destruction or extreme weakening of Russia and Germany, as well as other European countries in the name of strengthening England and France. Some government officials and politicians spoke about it openly. In particular, the Minister of the Aircraft Industry of England, Moore-Brabazon. Winston Churchill's son Randolph said that the ideal outcome of the war in the East would be when the last German killed the last Russian and stretched out dead next to him. Apparently, the son announced his father's dreams. The USA also considered, but not for France and England, they aimed Germany at the USSR. Since 1920, they thoughtfully, step by step, led Germany to war with the USSR in order to achieve their own interests, to gain dominance over the world.
