Around 30 years ago I asked the question, “why would Hitler make the same mistake as Napoleon despite his admiration for the man?” This led to research on the matter which concluded exactly what you have revealed in this video. Frankly, it also led to other questions about other allegations against the Reich during this period, and the conclusions there were even more revealing. But that is a topic frowned upon by the powers that be.
The prominence of Soviet propaganda in the mainstream narratives around WW2 is strong evidence that “western” media and academia were completely captured by the radical left prior to the war.
@iansmith5174 I don't for a second believe that, it's been proven democratic countries make bad decisions too as they're corrupt. I don't for a second think hitler is perfect but from what I seen there was many advisors and his speeches were less about superiority and more about survival.
@@jarrod5854 better than Germany. They were not equivalent and The USSR was not the worse one. Best example ironically comes from prominent Russia hater Anne Applebaum. She pointed out that the survival ratio was approximately inverted for Russian and German camps. Russia the gulag death rate was 25%, German camps it was more like 80%. Russia maybe enslaved you for a bit. Germany enslaved you until death.
Just because it wasn't 100% about Option A, doesn't mean it was 100% about Option B. Almost like it was a combination of both. Calling Lebensraum a "myth" is entirely a-historical. Hundreds of thousands of German troops were left in Latvia and Norway during the Battle of Berlin because AH refused to allow withdrawal as the land would be needed "after the war".
To be fair, the majority of Britain was against going to war with Germany back in the 20th century. It was the ruling elites and Churchill’s fatass that decided to throw the empire away.
Alas, don't speak too quickly, there is one going on in Ukraine right now. Aside from the mass casualties, what appalls me the most is how easy it has been to sway public opinion in the west, even with the internet which makes the full story available (at least if you speak English it does), yet which only a tiny fraction of the population appears to avail itself of. "Sheeple" has never seemed a more appropriate word.
As British he of course does not tell the whole truth, which was that the USSR only wanted to attack Germany to prevent a supposed German Aggression and that UK and US enabled the establishing of both totalitarian Regimes and supported both to damage them as much as it was possible.
Germany issued debt-free and interest-free money from 1935 and on, accounting for its startling rise from the depression to a world power in 5 years. Germany financed its entire government and war operation from 1935 to 1945 without gold and without debt, and it took the whole Capitalist and Communist world to destroy the German power over Europe and bring Europe back under the heel of the Bankers. Such history of money does not even appear in the textbooks of public (government) schools today. - Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People (1984)
At the 5th of May 1941 Stalin gave a speech to Red Army Officers at the Moskow Officer Academy. There he confirmed that he wanted an Attack on Germany in 1942.
Yeah, that's why tank and motorised formations lacked more trucks than regular infantry and that's why the soviets got overran. Cmon, it's just not serious
Russia and Germany had a defensive pact. There was no need to build defensive lines. Additionally, their army wasn't going to be ready for offensive operations for years. This argument was always weak, and no wonder it hasn't survived historiography..
I heard an explanation that the germans couldn't figure out why Great Briton hadn't sought peace after the continent had been conquered and a victory over germany was impossible by themselves. The conclusion being that they were banking on soviet help and that the invasion was an attempt to shut that down. I suppose it kind of fits into the explanation of this video.
Britian didnt make peace with Germany because of the influence of Winston Churchill's prompters. If you look into the demographic of Churchill's prompters, you will find they are the same actors of those inside of the Kremlin; the orchestrators of the bolsheviks. The british did not put their hope in the soviets, for the prompters of Churchill knew through the brotherhood of their tribe, that they can collaborate with the fellow tribesmen who inhabit positions of Administration within the Soviet Union. A two front war for Germany was inevitable.
Britain didn't seek peace because it was banking on dragging the US into the European theater. Roosevelt was a communist sympathizer and desperately wanted the US to enter the war against Germany, but he made campaign promises to keep America out, not to mention most Americans at that time were isolationist and didn't give a shit about European conflicts.
Drunk childmolester Prime Minister churchil who was happily squating at a majestic jewish house he could have never afford from his salary, and who received significant sum from jews to drag brittain into the war is the reason why brittain had any beef with germany to begin with. He even ordered massive warcrimes to be commited on germans to provoke some sort of retaliation, because public support for "yet another war" with gernany, was very low at the time among british population. But chruchill didnt care about the price brittain would have to pay or civilian casualties, he only cared that judeo-communists defeat germany because his allegiance was with the jews, not with the brits, Child molesting, Drunken, immoral, fat, moronic POS Churchill. Who was, among other things responsible for bengal famine that cost lives of millions and massive warcrimes in dresden. Hedonistic, classless turd who betrayed his own nation to serve the jews and sided with scummunists instead of defending europe from red threat. May dogs p155 on his grave for eternity.
Churchill let the cat out of the bag eventually. The decision had already been made before the war that the NSDAP regime must be destroyed, and the invasion of Poland was only a pretext to carry out their plans. Why he did not say, but perhaps it was the influence of banking and business interests, or of Christendom's ancient enemy. I have to watch my words, YT is keeping me on a short leash since I last triggered its algorithm!
While discussing this topic i think it's important that we stay away from glorifying the nazis. It is true that the Soviet Union was going to attack Germany, but it should be noted that this cannot be used as an excuse for the genocidal actions the Nazis did commit in the Soviet Union and other parts of Europe. Entire rations were seized from ukrainian and belorussian cities, Kharkiv was ordered to be starved to death, thousands of towns were wiped clean. Soviet Rule wasnt pleasent for these said peoples, but the nazis weren't liberators, they were brutal occupiers. Many who initially saw the nazis as liberators would inevitably change their views and welcome the return of soviet rule. And i do often see a comparison of soviet gulags with concentration camps, and it is honestly pathetic to see this as a justification of warcrimes. Seriously, grow a heart for Christ's sake. In conclusion the video was well made and great, but i believe it is being used for the wrong means to justify the most evil regime in human history. This should not be done.
I do agree the need to demistify some of the German actions during the war but this wasn't one of them. Hitler did want to colonize territory in the East maybe not the entire USSR but you had the RK Ostland as well as other explicitly colonial projects going on. Also while the Soviets did concentrate troops in the West they were still not ready. At the earliest current military historians think the Soviets would have been ready by 1943 or even as late as 1948.
@abeedhal6519 History keeps being changed by omissions and by political/newsmedia propaganda. This is to fit the agendas of whoever is in power. Was it right of the Rosevelts to turn a blind eye to the horrors of the Soviets and be best buddies with Stalin? No, "Hollywood, come quick to the rescue." Was Rundolph with the black moustache right in what he did? No, he was certainly not. Was he hated and feared in the neighbouring countries before ww2? Yes, but that was especially true after the war. Is history more complicated than one or two Hollywood movies?
The most despicable fact is that if Germany actually conquered that vast land, there would be no Cold War, there would be no American hegemony over Europe, no Bolvshevik hegemony over Europe, and Europe would have selfishly found a way it preserve its livelihood. Its disgraceful.

But we can discuss the biggest lie of Ukrainian Nationalists, which is the Hypothesis that the so-called Holodomor was Genocide against Ukrainians, which is of course wrong because it was just a famine caused by an interaction of forced Collectivization and ideologically motivated Turbo-Industrialization in cominbation with floods and droughts.

This is just bunch of pro nazi arguments, germany invaded ussr beacouse of oil and living space AND beacouse they are ideological enemies. I mean the biggest idiot knows, just read mein kampf, and you will know that Hitler dreamed about invading Russia
Do you believe everything you did 25 years ago…(while in prison no less). You probably weren’t even alive. Considering how lied to we are about everything, and the fact that the Soviets had invaded 3 others countries months before.
If you have read or listened to journals of the eastern fronts, there were many Germans who had immigranted to Poland and Ukraine. The soldiers were told they would be liberating these communities.
I agree with most of your video. However I do think that lebensraum at least played a part in his long-term thinking, given what we know from mein kampf and zweite buch. At the same time I understand that it is hard to prove this given his understandable unwillingness to express himself in that manner later on, as well as the fact that he himself said that he regretted things from his writings.
I agree as well. Also not mentioned that germany after occupying so much land was critically low on oil. The soviets had tons of oil and the germans needed it to win the war. TIK did a great video on this if you just search TIK Germany Oil
lebensraum was always in the context of a thousand year empire, referencing of course the hre, germans expanded past the oder to prussia, to moravia, to austria, to the seven cities in transvania, to lemberg, to the overlordship of the baltics(eventually under russians, the czar being part german even). its not as if this expansion was ever a goal of the hre, and it was many times directly invited as in prussia by poland and translvania by hungary, if germans were really superior this would no doubt continue with or without war. theres also the need for resources, germamy needed oil(as with japan) and access to grain and to the sea, obviously germany can get what it needs from others during peace but its always something looming, so it was a long term strategic goal to acquire these things somehow it didnt need to be war, but given history and given the explicit expansionist intent of the soviet union, war in the coming decades was expected, and germany certainly hoped to gain these long term needs from whatever that war would be
@user-wj6dt5bq3w They did it in Czechia. No one's complaining. Same in Poland. Now take a look at the rest of the Slavic countries... One of the main objective of the UK, then the US for many decades was (and is) to hinder the meeting of European (mostly German) technology, and the Asian (Russian) resources. Because it would mean the end of the (((American))) Empire, and American-like prosperity for the people of the aforementioned continents. Hence the war in Ukraine today. The US spent 5 billion dollars to destabilize Ukraine, and 3 more to support its proxy war against Russia.
"Lebensraum" was a policy that long preceded the NatSoc government. It was a widely supported rubric of conservative policy and actually meant the expansion into Turkish controlled Central Asia and the Black Sea region, prompted by the collapse of Ottoman power. Hitler was simply reading from the nationalist script. Germany's assault mostly drove North anyway.
I wouldn't say so. A wehraboo is someone who insists the germans had the greatest and best army, equipment, planes tanks ships guns morale etc. in ww2 compared to everyone else in every aspect. Zoomer historian doesn't make such claims. In modern lingo, zh is more of a "neo-nasi" or 'denier', whatever those words may mean to you.
@@Bristecomno it wasnt, most US lend lease just by official records arrived in mid 1943, after kursk and stalingrad. However having 20% of the germans off the eastern front helped making it a united war effort against evil.
Of course he did, this video doesn't completely invalidate lebensraum because AH still wanted it. It just explains why AH declared war on the Soviets while at war with Britain instead of after the war.
ASKING if the Soviets wanted to bum-rush the West and take Germany is pointless because they DID IT anyway in direct violation of an agreement they made with England and America when moving into Berlin. In the last days of the war, there was the plan to move the western front and eastern front into Berlin at the same time, and the Soviets pushed ahead and surrounded the city without the US or UK. And later in the talks about how to divvy up the occupied Germany, the Soviets leveraged everything they had, and East Berlin and West Berlin became a thing. They occupied the entirety of East Germany, controlling a disproportionate amount of territory, while the UK, the US, and France had to divide West Germany up among themselves. If you look at how the Soviets operated, they were the most aggressive expansionist dictatorship you'd ever seen, with the Soviet/communist Sphere of influence occupying the eastern block of Europe, basically all of mainland Asia, much of the Middle East, several entire regions of Africa, and a swath of South America, and everywhere the ideology went they killed as many people the nazis did if not more, but because the killings were political it's for some reason less bad.
Why wouldn't they tho? Germany just invaded and destroyed everything in their path until the gates of Moscow very nearly eliminating the USSR. Why wouldn't they want to take Berlin? If in the extremely unlikely scenario that Hitler managed to destroy Washington DC and take New York wouldn't the Americans want the same?
As a anecdote, theres old saying in my country amongst old people. "10 Germans was better then one Russian" in context of war, occupation and "liberation "
@@Saulgud23TF are you talking about German Soldiers were so nice to the populations that they didn't force the populations to give them food, Grandma told that the Germans would always buy with money and never steal, Woman also feel in love with Soldiers and Children were playing with things like leather wallets the Soldiers have given them.
@@TrisMacLife I don't even mind about Nazis to each their own but he is incredibly dishonest and doesn't own his own ideology lmao. If you're gonna larp then do it properly.
Very well explained and narrated. I am also convinced that Hitlers reasoning for planning the Soviet campaign in 1940/41 came from purely military strategic and war economic considerations.
He was also aware of some form of stomach cancer at that point too, further pushing plans faster as he knew it would take years of political work setting up satellite states and logistics in the captured east.
Regardless of what Hitler's reasons for going east may be, invading the Soviet Union when he was locked down in conflict with France and Britain was a terrible miscalculation which cost him everything. He stirred up a hornet's nest when he was ill prepared to do so. That is paranoia and not being decisive against the British troops because he liked the Brits is also another terrible decision.
@@mylesmulenga-uz6gd I agree. He should have focused on knocking Britain out of the war by for example capturing Malta and Gibraltar and by possible convincing Turkey to join the war.
@@mylesmulenga-uz6gd The Soviets were preparing to attack the Germans. Hitler attacked them before they had a chance to go on the offensive. The Germans strength was as an offensive style army early in the war and they did not want to wait for an attack and let the Soviets control the time and the place.

Here's the exact quotes from Mein Kampf that says otherwise, feel free to debunk it if you think that this quotes is not about Hitler wanting to conquer the world "Until finally the best portion of mankind (the Aryan Race) will possess the earth and will be free to work in every domain all over the world and even reach spheres that lie outside the earth" (Page 348-349) "A race destined to become master of all the other peoples and which will have at its disposal the means and resources of the whole world" (Page 349)
The validity of the "gas chamber" narrative I suppose. Blue residue would be in reference to that, and Nvm is internet English slang for "nevermind". Cheers from America@Drazuga
I do not usually agree with your points(hard to considering fact I am Czech), but you are partly right there. It's a fact that the Soviets were preparing for an invasion of Europe. I read many books about it because my mind was bothered with questions like "How the hell they captured so many soldiers despite the Soviets having a shitload of equipment". According to Stalin´s original ideas, he wanted to wait until France, Britain, Germany, and others went to war with each other and were exhausted from it. Then, he would use this weakness and the chaos surrounding it to grab as much as possible. Lebensraum wasn't the main reason but a sweet bonus, everybody knew war with USSR was inevitable. Many reasons he did it: 1) Oil 2) Despised communism 3) Preventive strike 4) Lebensraum 5) Wheat from Ukraine to feed an embargoed population Another important thing is that Stalin thought war in Europe will be quite longer and he will have more time to prepare his armies for it and that is one of the reasons his army sucked at the beginning. Its sad that its either nazi apology like "he didn't want Lebensraum" which is a lie or history written by victors with "smoothed edges". The world is not black and white only. Do not glorify atrocities nazis committed. Its easier to say it for you from England than from someone whose family members were forcibly conscripted to do hard labor in German factories.
Amazing how much Germany was able to achieve. The second time we may very well expect to make it. Especially after the European descendants know the true story goes, that the NSDAP was on their side all along.
They will make sure there wont be any second time.. Thats why UN and NATO was created, not because of soviets, but because they don't want there to be a second time.

European descendants were not on his side, the continent was starving while the Germans feasted. Greeks alone lost like 10% of their population. Actually learn the history instead of siding with a side because you think it's cool or different.
There is something missing. The Soviet Union didn’t stick to the additional protocol of Molotov Ribbentrop Pakt. They occupied more/other lands than what was agreed to. After the fact they modified the agreement and swapped areas in the agreement but Germany still felt betrayed and threatened.
It’s odd how “Germany conquering Europe” was/is a justification to go to war against them…while the Soviets did even more conquering during the same time period.
There is a book “The Icebreaker” written by Victor Suvorov, a Russian Spy who defected to the UK sometime in the 70’s I believe. It describes everything mentioned in the video from the Russian perspective. Operation Icebreaker, a top secret Soviet operation where Germany was to serve as an Icebreaker into Europe while the 20000 tanks, hundreds divisions of paratroop air gliders (yes all offensive, as paratrooper are never used in defensive warfare) and airports filled with aircraft would then be used to completely steamroll Europe and fulfill Lenin’s promise to spread Communism through the entirety of Europe and later the world. Had this actually happened, there would have been no D Day, no Allied offensive freeing Europe. The Russian Army would have faced nearly zero resistance from a war torn Europe. This is also why on the first day of Barbarossa almost the entirety of the Russian Air Force and tank cores were obliterated - they were all in parking lots on the border getting ready to invade. Had they been stationed defensively inland, dug in in forests, with aviation stationed deep inside Russia a surprise attack by German air forces on the first day would have been not only impossible but also completely ineffective.
Suvorov is wrong on the motivation and aim of the Soviet Attacking plan, which was infact to struck first to prevent a supposed German Aggression and not to occupying European countries for the purpose of installing there Communist Client Regimes. If Suvorov would be really right, then the USSR had make more efforts to support Communists during the Civil Wars in China (the Chinese Communists won mainly alone without any foreign support) and in Spain and later in Greece. Guido Giacomo Preparata is right with his point of view that UK and US enabled the rise to power of both Nazis and Communists to prevent a German-Russian Alliance.
@@neilaleksandrov2655 No my comparison is maybe only not edaquate because Nazi Germany did not want to attack USSR only because of preventing a Soviet Invasion, but also to conquere and colonize the European part of USSR, while the USSR wanted only to prevent a German Invasion, but was not interesting in installing a Communist Regime there to transform Germany into a Vassal state. Stalin was a National Communist who was interested in making the USSR self-sufficient primary and not into an International Proletarian Revolution like Trotsky or Che Guevara. In the Spanish Civil war USSR primary liquidated Non-Stalinist Communists and Anarchists instead of fighting Francos troups.
@@vidkunpurischkewitsch9598 So you're saying it wasn't Russian tank battalions who defeated Franco forces in their advance on Madrid in October, November of 1936? and as far as addressing Stalin's motivations, that is only your opinion my friend.

@@neilaleksandrov2655 It is a proven fact that Stalins priority was creating a Socialist political and economical system in the USSR and not the International Proletarian Revolution. By the way the tanks you are talking about were Soviet ones.
It sounds quite plausible (and it makes sense from a great power point of view) that the Soviets were planning an attack on the Reich and western Europe, and that the Germans knew it, and thus pre-empted the Soviet attack with an attack of their own. Great powers do this sort of thing. They move when an opportunity for gain *presents* itself...and they react defensively when they see a looming threat from another great power. From the Soviet point of view....the entire West had detested them from the start and was determined to crush them out of existence as soon as the First World War ended. Churchill was among their most vehement foes, and all the Allied nations fielded armies in Russia after WWI to help fight the Bolsheviks...but the Bolsheviks won in the end. After that, the Soviet state was regarded as an absolute pariah by the rest of Europe. So, why would Stalin *not* consider "the West" to be his mortal enemy? Stalin would have been delighted to see a war break out between Hitler's Germany and the British-French Alliance, since this would divide his great power enemies against *each other* and thus strengthen Soviet Russia's strategic position. What could be better from the Russian point of view at that time? France then fell to the Germans. More good news for the Russians, because one of their major great power enemies was removed from the strategic chessboard. Then the British and Germans were locked in a titanic struggle which appeared to have no foreseeable end....more good news for the Russians! What Hitler was doing also made sense, from Germany's point of view. Number 1, he wanted back German empire lands that had been lost at the end of WWI. This included a large part of Poland. The Russians also wanted back land which THEY had lost due to WWI and the events that immediately followed....and that included a large part of Poland and the Baltic nations, and some other bits of land elsewhere. So, at that point both the Germans and the Russians had essentially the same concerns, a desire to recover lost lands, and a very keen desire to eliminate the new nation state of Poland *entirely*! So naturally they were able to come to an agreement, make a German-Soviet pact, and divide up Poland, give the Baltic states back to Russia, and so on. They were both recovering former imperial territory. This again IS what great powers do! It doesn't require enormous amounts of "evil" to do that, it's just normal great power behavior, that's all. They play to win the big imperial game, that's all...and they move when they think the time is right. For the Soviets to plan a major offensive into western Europe while Hitler was tied up fighting the British made very good sense from a Soviet point of view, because it was highly likely to succeed. The Germans clearly had a very effective and deadly war machine. One to be feared. Everyone could see that in 1940-41. When would they be most vulnerable? While they were still tied up fighting the British. Would there ever be a better time to fight the Germans than while they were still occupied fighting the UK? No! Because of this, I consider the theory that Russia was planning to attack Germany in probably the summer or fall of '41 quite likely to be correct. It makes sense from a pragmatic point of view. And so they massed huge forces in an offensive posture along their western borders in the spring of 1941. But the Germans could see those preparations. They knew what was coming. And their only viable options were to: 1. Set up the strongest possible defenses on their eastern borders with Russia. or.... 2. Attack the Russians first! The 2nd option was more likely to give them the initiative and achieve a decisive victory...and Hitler always tended to think in offensive, not defensive terms. So the Germans went ahead with the most powerful attack they possible could against the Soviet Union....and came quite close to winning their war in the East, because it was simply the best option they had IF the Soviets were planning to attack them anyway. I have said nothing here about who I think was "more evil" a system....the Soviets or the Nazis....because it's irrelevant to the strategic realities that drove them both to act against one another. Both Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany had the strongest reasons to fear *each other* in the 1940's, and both acted in a pragmatic and rational way to do what seemed to make the most sense.......strictly from *their* point of view. That's what great powers do. They fight either when they think they can win.......................or when circumstances give them NO choice, even though the odds of winning may be long ones. And for the Germans, the odds of winning a total war in Russia *were* long ones, as history has shown us. But they probably had no real choice about it. (Nor did the Russians, once the Germans had fired the first shots... The die was cast. They would both suffer incredible losses as a result, which was a tragedy for both nations. It is the ordinary people who suffer what the empires decide. And the soldiers on both sides would absolutely believe that they were "saving the world".)
You are interpreting too much! The Sowjets knew after the fall of France that the Germans will come for them eventually and decided to strike first. Plus Germany was running low on oil! Russia then and now has no desire for Western Europe, thy feel quite comfy is the East.
@@tobiasphilippwittlinger8753 - Yes, Germany was desperately short of oil (Ploesti wasn't enough to meet their needs), and the only place they could get it was...in Russia. So yes, it was highly likely that the Germans would eventually invade Russia. And yes, it makes sense that the Russians would decide to strike first. And then it also makes sense that the Germans would detect the Russian preparations and would decide to strike the Russians first. It was just normal survival strategy on the part of both Germany and Russia... I also agree with you that the Russians have no desire *now* to take over western Europe....they are simply reacting defensively to what they see as a threat *from* the West (the West taking over Ukraine, following the coup in 2014, and arming Ukraine to fight Russia). Whether the Soviets had any intention of taking over western Europe in Stalin's time....I'm not sure about that. They did end up taking over about half of Europe simply in the process of defeating Hitler's Third Reich. Whether that was their original intention before the fighting started....I don't know.

Regardless of Nazi Germany's excuse for offensive invasion, they performed ethnic cleansing on the populace for lebensraum all the same. Generalplan Ost was drafted in 1940 and called for the removal of all "undesirables" from conquered territory, by any means. In places like Poland, Belarus and Lithuana, "undesirable" applied to over 75% of the population.
@@digger6843 In Belarus alone, over 5,000 towns were wiped off the map and their inhabitants killed or turned into refugees. To say the Nazis weren't committed to a plan of ethnic cleansing Eastern Europe is absurd.
2 things Invading Russia is simple, they do scorched earth and so long as you have the supply lines you will win Britain was too exhausted to make major moves on the west The writing was on the wall in terms of oil shortages, if they invaded while everyone else was mostly weak while they still had the strength to supply the invasion and get to the oil fields they could have won
What does "getting to the oil fields" mean? It means that, after a strenous, exhausting fight (we know the sort of resistance the Soviets could and did put up; the Soviets were not like the froggy sissies), the Germans would reach a Blade Runner landscape of utter destruction of the oil-producing and -storing facilities, and a nightmare of huge well fires, which would take months to put out. A year for clearing the rubble, and two or three full years to have the oilfields in full production again. You would "get to the oil fields" only to find that you'd die there, out of sheer exhaustion. Oh, and I didn't mention the partisan guerrilla, which would keep you VERY entertained after you "got to the oil fields" ....
I'm pretty sure in Hitler's Table Talks and Mein Kampf he talks extensively about Lebensraum and the need for Aryan colonisation and the removal of Slavs

Here's the exact quotes from Mein Kampf that says otherwise, I hope Nazi apologist would debunk it if they think that this quotes is not about Hitler wanting to conquer the world "Until finally the best portion of mankind (the Aryan Race) will possess the earth and will be free to work in every domain all over the world and even reach spheres that lie outside the earth" (Page 348-349) "A race destined to become master of all the other peoples and which will have at its disposal the means and resources of the whole world" (Page 349)

In the Führer’s speech, he said these Molotov-demands led to the liberation march into USSR: 1. German consent to Russia’s liquidation of Finland 2. Romania should not be protected by a German guarantee against the Soviet Union. 3. That Russia would be allowed to establish garrisons in Bulgaria in order to effect a Russian guarantee to this state. 4. Russian ownership of bases at the Dardanelles. And ofcourse the 800K soldier build up on Germany by Soviet Union. Because, if I see an opponent bringing a rifle to his shoulder, then I am not going to wait for him to pull the trigger, but instead, be determined to pull it before he does.” - A.H
@IsmaDragonvitchZ Yeah your forgetting the whole Molotov Ribbontrop pact when they decided to invade and divide Poland amongst themselves and send fleeing jews back into the hands of the SS.
4:00 - about time someone said this. Your other video I watched mentioned the situation as well. Fascism and aligned groups were a reaction to the red terror of both the anarchist/communist groups active within all major western cities, and a direct defensive ideology to horrors reported back from within the Soviet Union. This is objectively a fact to anyone looking 2nd level to the era. Practically speaking, if our ‘elites’ or ‘intellectuals’ today want to avoid the public trending towards right wing reactionary political movements; the ‘elites ‘and ‘intellectuals’ need to stop threatening societal security, economics, and family traditions..... yet these disruptive ‘progressive’ billionaire backed groups still press knowing this. It appears the ends justify the means to these megalomaniacs, and one may argue that one of their goals is to indeed have a more extreme society on both ends, not just the left end. Kodos to you, my brother for having such wisdom in your videos seeking the truth, it is refreshing to watch videos clearly from someone in their 20’s, dare I say on the early end of that age range having such an in-depth perspective. Much respect.
Yes, their goal is most definitely to have a more extreme society on both ends. This is how they get us to slaughter each other. First, the sides must be chosen, and made to hate one another. The flames must be fanned until they turn into an inferno. Wars don't spontaneously "break out"; they arren't an organic outbreak such as the measels or mumps. WARS ARE FOMENTED. Divide and conquer. First, culturally. Then mitiltarily. Finally, move on to the next host, and repeat.
What a well presented history video! Good to see someone looking into an event from this particular time period in a balanced and rational manner. Hope the channel does not get taken down.
One of the first to expose the Soviet perspective on this which also backs up the German reason was Victor Suvorov with his book Icebreaker. There are 2 much more recent books on this matter one which set out to prove Suvorov wrong, only to back Suvorov up, meaning he was right.
Why did Germany invade the Soviet Union? Because the Soviet Union was informally at war with Germany and with that massive buildup at the border, was about to make it formal. It was Germany's only realistic move she could have made in the scenario she was in.
@@aidhanroberts9028 even so, it does not explain the sheer unpreparedness of the soviet army. If they were actually building up an offensive platform it still would’ve made them somewaht capable of defence, at least more than they were.
@@TrisMacLife no, surprise is the most efficient weapon of war, and blitzkrieg embodied that to the highest standard at that time, offensive capability for invasion are useless when all your assets are smashed by a superior air force and the best tanks and troops of the time The initial success of the German offensive is comparable to the gulf war Way more capable force And trying to argue otherwise is pointless because the history of 1941 proves me right
I don't think you're right. Hitler definitely seemed to believe in Lebensraum when he wrote Mein Kampf. The Nazis also believed in The Shrinking Market theory - and wanted agricultural land to balance their "over industrialisation"
@@Mongolass He thought the Slavs were untermenshchen but I didn't mention that. The role that played was that he probably underestimated how difficult it would be to defeat Russia.
All this may be so but what came out in the wash? Mein Kampf was a long time before and in large part a political message to the domestic population. Conversely, bolshevism was expressly an international revolution.
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf almost two decades before the war with the USSR. Perspectives change over time. Lebensraum was not even close to being a priority during the midst of WWII. Securing resource independence was.
Hitler didnt give up the baltic states, nor he did give up Bukovina. Stalin broke the treaty . Second Molotov Ribbentrop meeting ended in failure. Stalin wanted Romania,Finland,Bulgaria,etc... Hitler didn't accept it...
@@mihaioroviceanu5542 Yes he did. Stop revising history and read the documents yourself. I have read the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and can confirm that Hitler gave up Latvia, Estonia, Bessarabia and Finland.
3:08 yes it was an aliance in all but name. They carved up half of Europe together and made trade agreements, coming over their differences (they weren’t that different). So if this is not an aliance, than France wasn’t allied to Britain during the war, because they had some arguments.
He's talking about the motive for war. The average person thinks it's purely ideological. It was strategic (to acquire soviet oil) and preemptive as shown in this video.
Is it just me or did the video paint Germany as some indirect savior of Europe. Plus Germany had territorial ambitions. Thats why they went East in the first place to take land from Poland. And with how much Hitler hated Bolsheviks it’s not surprising he attacked . The whole was ideological.
IT seems you keep forgetting that the self determination of Germans living on that land wanted it to be in Germany and that this is justified under President Wilson's 12 points.
@@fuwa9616 You bring up a fascinating point that NO ONE ever mentions--the callous British waste of Indian lives during both world wars.

Your videos are changing everything we’ve been taught by our schools and grandparents. Always a one sided story and never from the german or hitler perspective.
Lebensraum is not a myth. The right of 'advanced' cultures taking and developing land underutilized by 'primitive' cultures. German Lebensraum philosophy across Eastern Europe 1880-1941 takes direct inspiration from American Manifest Destiny philosophy across Western America 1780-1880. Hitler said "we should treat the population of Russia as Red Indians."

I don't know what drives you to explicitly contradict what Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf and then garnered with strong anti-communism as a secondary objective, but do go ahead.
It's very strange, but Hitler did change his views on the Soviet Union by 1939 somewhat, only to invade them later anyway. People often forget Stalin did transform the USSR into an almost National Socialist style regime through "Socialism in one country".
@@horatiuscocles8052 Yes, socialism in one country but not connected to a nation. Communism was international and nationless. The USSR went out of its wait to emancipate its more clannish citizens in central asia and elsewhere.
The narrative presented in this video to describe the actions of the USSR during the time leading up to the start of the war on the Eastern Front closely tracks the evidence presented in a book entitled "The Chief Culprit", written by a former Soviet military intelligence analyst who gained access to archived Soviet documents.
Oil oil oil that's why Germany invaded the Soviet Union Germany was desperately low on fuel ao low that if they had waited any longer to invade they would have no fuel for the invasion.Also Germany used horses more than anything for a reason.

lol what? These are completely inaccurate and simply pro-German propaganda. If you don’t believe me, check out “Why Zoomer Historian is the WORST?” made by an actual Historian with a degree.
Great video, bud. I have a request although I’m not sure if you already covered this so forgive me if you did, but I’d be interested in a video regarding Hitler’s views on the other races of Europe, and if they indeed saw Slavs, Baltics, Meds etc. beneath the Germanics and the Nords
I’m asking because very often people that identify themselves as so called natsocs always claim that Meds and Slavs are non-white, or beneath them, or even claim that ancient civilizations such as Ancient Greece or Rome were Germanic and Nordic, or atleast the leadership
From what I have read is that he/they really believed all Europeans were "Aryan" and equal but different, but that certain percentages of some of the groups had mixed with non European groups (ie- some Slavics with central Asian or some Meds with North African. Etc..) but yes an in depth video would be great considering all the misinformation/disinformation and black propaganda about the ideology... like the ridiculous "they hate everyone without" blonde hair blue eyes meme....
Thank you so much for such an informative piece. To concur with you, I remember reading in an article in the late 90's that a then former Soviet general had unequivocally stated that it had indeed been Soviet Russia's intention to invade Germany. There is much disinformation about the period. I once read A J P Taylor's book on reasons for Britain making war in Germany. His reasons of why it had not in the least been necessary were very clear and well motivated. As they say in Dutch: "doe zo voort!"
Absolutely. Germany had no choice. Strike first or wait to be overrun. To my understanding America had sent engineers to the USSR to help multiply their war production. How early in the conflict this began I cannot say. This would be a great topic to explore. In fact, imo, there never would have been a USSR without America to begin with. The World Wars were fought to make the world safe for communist totalitarianism, not democracy. Do you have a FB page?
I completely disagree with your sentence about "The World Wars were fought to make the world safe for communist totalitarianism, not democracy.". The fact that both WWs ended with communist totalitarianism "reinfoced" (?) , does not prove that this was also the reason why the two WWs happened. Typical correlation vs causation error. Please do not mislead less informed people with such mistaken statements.
@@karlheven8328 And you got your brain from TikTok, Timmy. How can a book written before the fact give history lessons on the future? Real smooth brain.
True. I have an acquaintance whose great grandfather was hauling land-leased armaments, munitions and Studebaker army trucks via Persisn Corridor. Of course, in a typical Soviet arrogant manner he denied that these shipments were instrumental to the USSR victory in any way, but if one would only glance at the statistics, one would never doubt that almost only due to allied help did USSR stay afloat.
@@paulwilson8061it’s not about how much equipment was given as it is about when. The soviets had plenty of equipment but their logistical capabilities were abysmal and didn’t significantly improve until well into the war, this is also is one of the major reasons why they performed so badly in the winter war. The Lend Lease program kept them in the fight because the US was able to get equipment to the Soviets faster than the Soviets were able to get equipment to the Soviets.

Watching one video of yours left me with a lot of questions. Such as "What about their desire for lebensraum?" Little did I know, this was yet another myth to be deconstructed. Keep doing what you're doing, it matters.
There were plenty of ideological reasons for invading the soviet union and claiming that the nazis invaded purely because of strategic reasons is wrong. There were plenty of jews in soviet owned lands, germany had a policy of conquering their neighbors and just because himmler didnt mention lebensraum doesnt mean the nazis as a whole didnt think of it as a reason to invade. If anyone thinks that the nazis didnt plan on invading the soviet union and claim it was a defensive war they should rethink and ponder the meaning of the phrase nazi sympathiser
You made that up? Oh no wait it's from wikipedia 😂 . So please answer this: If there was no ideological aims in the east, do you think they would've not have invaded? They would've.
@@barsukascool mein kampf isn't German policy, what is written is only Hitler's opinion 15 years before the war when he thought every thing was over for him politically and when he never thought he was going to be a chancellor his life change a whole lot, so did his views. Also i've read it, and in mein kampf no genocide was mentioned, it was comparable to what was done and being done to native americans by the US and Canada.
I think you're reaching. Russia after seeing Hitler conquer and occupy the following countries: Poland (attacked in September 1939), Denmark (April 1940), Norway (April 1940), Belgium (May 1940), the Netherlands (May 1940), Luxembourg (May 1940), France (May 1940), Yugoslavia (April 1941), and Greece (April 1941). It would make sense that Russian would preemptively build offensive positions for a counter invasion. Hitler and Stalin had high unachievable hopes. However, people painting either as saints or saviors and aligning misperceptions to further their beliefs is rather asinine.
@@ZoomerHistorian Hitler came to power in 1933 after a failed election and death of Hindenburg via constitutional fiat so let's do a comparison of what could have been deemed a threat after 1933 for self defense since the nonelected chancellor would have been privy to information during that time. 1938 Japan clashed with Russia and won and in 1939, Poland with the Germans. Prior to 33 the Soviet Union expanded until Poland. So I'm not seeing your logic. Please send dates and countries not blanket statements if you're a historian please provide history. I am truly curious. I love history so I am interested in what countries. I don't like blanketed statements. I agree that Hitler probably got ansy and hit first, but to say it was self defense is reaching. That is like believing when Goebbels said the invasion of Poland was in retaliation for an attack on Germany. Which was conducted by German commandos dressed as Poles when Otto Skorzeny was interviewed. Hitler assumed Russia would be an easy victory as the rest of Europe was, other wise in self defense he wouldn't have planned to take Moscow. Self defense or limited wars are just meant to maul your opponent not conquer them. I had a relative take part in Barbarossa and what he was told was vastly different. Also The Soviets had massed large forces on their western frontier, but they were under orders not to provoke the Germans. Although mistrustful of Hitler, Stalin did not believe that he would attack so soon, despite the ominous German build-up and a stream of intelligence warnings.
@@ZoomerHistorianSo because Stalin annexed the Baltics and took Polish Belorussia in the Molotov agreement, that means he is now disallowed from building up? Also, not the exact same amount.
To the credit of the Germans, at least they stopped invading nations 80 years ago. Look at Russia today--THREE times they invade Georgia. Russia never changes.
@falconmclenny7284 of course there is much more to it. The reason why millions died makes a huge difference. Starvation and disease due to cut supply lines. Germany was deporting the magic hats to Palestine before the war made the logistics impossible. Hilariously enough, the magic hats want to do exactly that to Palestinians 😂. So really, magic hats and NSDAP have much in common regarding their desires for an ethnically pure state.
from brentonbradberrys book "As thousand plane armadas of bombers continued to obliterate German towns right up until the day of surrender, during the last months of the war 1,800 British and American fighter planes were unleashed over Germany with orders to destroy the transportation system of the entire country. All day long, every day, the skies were filled with these fighter planes crisscrossing over the German countryside, strafing anything that moved. They especially targeted trains. They first shot into the steam locomotives, causing them to explode, then circled back around and made strafing runs shooting up the cars, including passenger cars loaded with refugees. They strafed vehicles on the roads, people riding bicycles, or people just walking along the roads. They strafed farmers plowing in their fields, and killed their livestock. They strafed into the windows of houses. They strafed people in the streets. They especially worked over refugee columns on the roads as they fled invading armies. Killing Germans became sport. Germany became a slaughterhouse where anything that moved was fair game. As a result of all of this, the Germans could not feed their people for lack of transport. They could not feed the inmates in the concentration camps. This accounts for the masses of emaciated corpses which so shocked American and British troops who encountered them as they moved into Germany. Typhus epidemics had broken out amongst the starvation weakened inmates. But the Russians were the worst. When they first entered East Prussia, they rd and slaughtered Germans in their masses. All of East Prussia took to the roads, running away from the advancing Russians, trying to make their way as refugees into the heart of Germany. “The disaster that befell this area with the entry of the Soviet forces has no parallel in modern European experience. There were considerable sections of it where, to judge by all existing evidence, scarcely a man, woman or child of the indigenous population was left alive after the initial passage of the Soviet forces.” George F.

I heard an explanation that the germans couldn't figure out why Great Briton hadn't sought peace after the continent had been conquered and a victory over germany was impossible by themselves. The conclusion being that they were banking on soviet help and that the invasion was an attempt to shut that down. I suppose it kind of fits into the explanation of this video.
Britian didnt make peace with Germany because of the influence of Winston Churchill's prompters. If you look into the demographic of Churchill's prompters, you will find they are the same actors of those inside of the Kremlin; the orchestrators of the bolsheviks. The british did not put their hope in the soviets, for the prompters of Churchill knew through the brotherhood of their tribe, that they can collaborate with the fellow tribesmen who inhabit positions of Administration within the Soviet Union. A two front war for Germany was inevitable.
Britain didn't seek peace because it was banking on dragging the US into the European theater. Roosevelt was a communist sympathizer and desperately wanted the US to enter the war against Germany, but he made campaign promises to keep America out, not to mention most Americans at that time were isolationist and didn't give a shit about European conflicts.
Drunk childmolester Prime Minister churchil who was happily squating at a majestic jewish house he could have never afford from his salary, and who received significant sum from jews to drag brittain into the war is the reason why brittain had any beef with germany to begin with. He even ordered massive warcrimes to be commited on germans to provoke some sort of retaliation, because public support for "yet another war" with gernany, was very low at the time among british population. But chruchill didnt care about the price brittain would have to pay or civilian casualties, he only cared that judeo-communists defeat germany because his allegiance was with the jews, not with the brits,
Child molesting, Drunken, immoral, fat, moronic POS Churchill. Who was, among other things responsible for bengal famine that cost lives of millions and massive warcrimes in dresden.

May dogs p155 on his grave for eternity.
They were also banking on American help, Roosevelt was desperate to find a way to enter on Britain's side.
Churchill let the cat out of the bag eventually. The decision had already been made before the war that the NSDAP regime must be destroyed, and the invasion of Poland was only a pretext to carry out their plans. Why he did not say, but perhaps it was the influence of banking and business interests, or of Christendom's ancient enemy.

Soviet Rule wasnt pleasent for these said peoples, but the nazis weren't liberators, they were brutal occupiers. Many who initially saw the nazis as liberators would inevitably change their views and welcome the return of soviet rule.
And i do often see a comparison of soviet gulags with concentration camps, and it is honestly pathetic to see this as a justification of warcrimes. Seriously, grow a heart for Christ's sake.
In conclusion the video was well made and great, but i believe it is being used for the wrong means to justify the most evil regime in human history. This should not be done.
I do agree the need to demistify some of the German actions during the war but this wasn't one of them. Hitler did want to colonize territory in the East maybe not the entire USSR but you had the RK Ostland as well as other explicitly colonial projects going on. Also while the Soviets did concentrate troops in the West they were still not ready. At the earliest current military historians think the Soviets would have been ready by 1943 or even as late as 1948.

I agree with most of your video. However I do think that lebensraum at least played a part in his long-term thinking, given what we know from mein kampf and zweite buch. At the same time I understand that it is hard to prove this given his understandable unwillingness to express himself in that manner later on, as well as the fact that he himself said that he regretted things from his writings.
I agree as well. Also not mentioned that germany after occupying so much land was critically low on oil. The soviets had tons of oil and the germans needed it to win the war. TIK did a great video on this if you just search TIK Germany Oil
@@lastword8783 Yeah, not a fan of TIKs political videos but he is right on that.
lebensraum was always in the context of a thousand year empire, referencing of course the hre, germans expanded past the oder to prussia, to moravia, to austria, to the seven cities in transvania, to lemberg, to the overlordship of the baltics(eventually under russians, the czar being part german even). its not as if this expansion was ever a goal of the hre, and it was many times directly invited as in prussia by poland and translvania by hungary, if germans were really superior this would no doubt continue with or without war.
theres also the need for resources, germamy needed oil(as with japan) and access to grain and to the sea, obviously germany can get what it needs from others during peace but its always something looming, so it was a long term strategic goal to acquire these things somehow it didnt need to be war, but given history and given the explicit expansionist intent of the soviet union, war in the coming decades was expected, and germany certainly hoped to gain these long term needs from whatever that war would be
@user-wj6dt5bq3w They did it in Czechia. No one's complaining. Same in Poland. Now take a look at the rest of the Slavic countries... One of the main objective of the UK, then the US for many decades was (and is) to hinder the meeting of European (mostly German) technology, and the Asian (Russian) resources. Because it would mean the end of the (((American))) Empire, and American-like prosperity for the people of the aforementioned continents. Hence the war in Ukraine today. The US spent 5 billion dollars to destabilize Ukraine, and 3 more to support its proxy war against Russia.
"Lebensraum" was a policy that long preceded the NatSoc government. It was a widely supported rubric of conservative policy and actually meant the expansion into Turkish controlled Central Asia and the Black Sea region, prompted by the collapse of Ottoman power. Hitler was simply reading from the nationalist script. Germany's assault mostly drove North anyway.

@@larrayyyyy the name of the video implies otherwise.
ASKING if the Soviets wanted to bum-rush the West and take Germany is pointless because they DID IT anyway in direct violation of an agreement they made with England and America when moving into Berlin.
In the last days of the war, there was the plan to move the western front and eastern front into Berlin at the same time, and the Soviets pushed ahead and surrounded the city without the US or UK. And later in the talks about how to divvy up the occupied Germany, the Soviets leveraged everything they had, and East Berlin and West Berlin became a thing. They occupied the entirety of East Germany, controlling a disproportionate amount of territory, while the UK, the US, and France had to divide West Germany up among themselves.
If you look at how the Soviets operated, they were the most aggressive expansionist dictatorship you'd ever seen, with the Soviet/communist Sphere of influence occupying the eastern block of Europe, basically all of mainland Asia, much of the Middle East, several entire regions of Africa, and a swath of South America, and everywhere the ideology went they killed as many people the nazis did if not more, but because the killings were political it's for some reason less bad.
А минусы будут?
Why wouldn't they tho? Germany just invaded and destroyed everything in their path until the gates of Moscow very nearly eliminating the USSR. Why wouldn't they want to take Berlin? If in the extremely unlikely scenario that Hitler managed to destroy Washington DC and take New York wouldn't the Americans want the same?

Very well explained and narrated.
I am also convinced that Hitlers reasoning for planning the Soviet campaign in 1940/41 came from purely military strategic and war economic considerations.
He was also aware of some form of stomach cancer at that point too, further pushing plans faster as he knew it would take years of political work setting up satellite states and logistics in the captured east.
Regardless of what Hitler's reasons for going east may be, invading the Soviet Union when he was locked down in conflict with France and Britain was a terrible miscalculation which cost him everything. He stirred up a hornet's nest when he was ill prepared to do so. That is paranoia and not being decisive against the British troops because he liked the Brits is also another terrible decision.
@@mylesmulenga-uz6gd I agree. He should have focused on knocking Britain out of the war by for example capturing Malta and Gibraltar and by possible convincing Turkey to join the war.
It was economic, he needed resources of the soviet union to conduct his autarky, but he also was very much willing to genocide slavic population
@@mylesmulenga-uz6gd The Soviets were preparing to attack the Germans. Hitler attacked them before they had a chance to go on the offensive. The Germans strength was as an offensive style army early in the war and they did not want to wait for an attack and let the Soviets control the time and the place.

Nazi
I do not usually agree with your points(hard to considering fact I am Czech), but you are partly right there.
It's a fact that the Soviets were preparing for an invasion of Europe. I read many books about it because my mind was bothered with questions like "How the hell they captured so many soldiers despite the Soviets having a shitload of equipment". According to Stalin´s original ideas, he wanted to wait until France, Britain, Germany, and others went to war with each other and were exhausted from it. Then, he would use this weakness and the chaos surrounding it to grab as much as possible. Lebensraum wasn't the main reason but a sweet bonus, everybody knew war with USSR was inevitable.
Many reasons he did it:
1) Oil
2) Despised communism
3) Preventive strike
4) Lebensraum
5) Wheat from Ukraine to feed an embargoed population
Another important thing is that Stalin thought war in Europe will be quite longer and he will have more time to prepare his armies for it and that is one of the reasons his army sucked at the beginning.
Its sad that its either nazi apology like "he didn't want Lebensraum" which is a lie or history written by victors with "smoothed edges". The world is not black and white only. Do not glorify atrocities nazis committed. Its easier to say it for you from England than from someone whose family members were forcibly conscripted to do hard labor in German factories.
Amazing how much Germany was able to achieve. The second time we may very well expect to make it. Especially after the European descendants know the true story goes, that the NSDAP was on their side all along.
WW2 was the second Time its called 2 for a reason .
They will make sure there wont be any second time.. Thats why UN and NATO was created, not because of soviets, but because they don't want there to be a second time.

There is something missing. The Soviet Union didn’t stick to the additional protocol of Molotov Ribbentrop Pakt. They occupied more/other lands than what was agreed to. After the fact they modified the agreement and swapped areas in the agreement but Germany still felt betrayed and threatened.

There is a book “The Icebreaker” written by Victor Suvorov, a Russian Spy who defected to the UK sometime in the 70’s I believe. It describes everything mentioned in the video from the Russian perspective. Operation Icebreaker, a top secret Soviet operation where Germany was to serve as an Icebreaker into Europe while the 20000 tanks, hundreds divisions of paratroop air gliders (yes all offensive, as paratrooper are never used in defensive warfare) and airports filled with aircraft would then be used to completely steamroll Europe and fulfill Lenin’s promise to spread Communism through the entirety of Europe and later the world.
Had this actually happened, there would have been no D Day, no Allied offensive freeing Europe. The Russian Army would have faced nearly zero resistance from a war torn Europe. This is also why on the first day of Barbarossa almost the entirety of the Russian Air Force and tank cores were obliterated - they were all in parking lots on the border getting ready to invade. Had they been stationed defensively inland, dug in in forests, with aviation stationed deep inside Russia a surprise attack by German air forces on the first day would have been not only impossible but also completely ineffective.
Suvorov is wrong on the motivation and aim of the Soviet Attacking plan, which was infact to struck first to prevent a supposed German Aggression and not to occupying European countries for the purpose of installing there Communist Client Regimes. If Suvorov would be really right, then the USSR had make more efforts to support Communists during the Civil Wars in China (the Chinese Communists won mainly alone without any foreign support) and in Spain and later in Greece. Guido Giacomo Preparata is right with his point of view that UK and US enabled the rise to power of both Nazis and Communists to prevent a German-Russian Alliance.
@@vidkunpurischkewitsch9598 comparing apples to oranges here, and besides USSR did support the communists in Spain, to a great extent...
@@neilaleksandrov2655 No my comparison is maybe only not edaquate because Nazi Germany did not want to attack USSR only because of preventing a Soviet Invasion, but also to conquere and colonize the European part of USSR, while the USSR wanted only to prevent a German Invasion, but was not interesting in installing a Communist Regime there to transform Germany into a Vassal state. Stalin was a National Communist who was interested in making the USSR self-sufficient primary and not into an International Proletarian Revolution like Trotsky or Che Guevara. In the Spanish Civil war USSR primary liquidated Non-Stalinist Communists and Anarchists instead of fighting Francos troups.
@@vidkunpurischkewitsch9598 So you're saying it wasn't Russian tank battalions who defeated Franco forces in their advance on Madrid in October, November of 1936?
and as far as addressing Stalin's motivations, that is only your opinion my friend. Unless of course you claim some all knowing superpower, I would leave it to others to learn the facts and make up their own mind...
@@neilaleksandrov2655 It is a proven fact that Stalins priority was creating a Socialist political and economical system in the USSR and not the International Proletarian Revolution. By the way the tanks you are talking about were Soviet ones.
It sounds quite plausible (and it makes sense from a great power point of view) that the Soviets were planning an attack on the Reich and western Europe, and that the Germans knew it, and thus pre-empted the Soviet attack with an attack of their own. Great powers do this sort of thing. They move when an opportunity for gain *presents* itself...and they react defensively when they see a looming threat from another great power. From the Soviet point of view....the entire West had detested them from the start and was determined to crush them out of existence as soon as the First World War ended. Churchill was among their most vehement foes, and all the Allied nations fielded armies in Russia after WWI to help fight the Bolsheviks...but the Bolsheviks won in the end. After that, the Soviet state was regarded as an absolute pariah by the rest of Europe. So, why would Stalin *not* consider "the West" to be his mortal enemy? Stalin would have been delighted to see a war break out between Hitler's Germany and the British-French Alliance, since this would divide his great power enemies against *each other* and thus strengthen Soviet Russia's strategic position. What could be better from the Russian point of view at that time? France then fell to the Germans. More good news for the Russians, because one of their major great power enemies was removed from the strategic chessboard. Then the British and Germans were locked in a titanic struggle which appeared to have no foreseeable end....more good news for the Russians!
What Hitler was doing also made sense, from Germany's point of view. Number 1, he wanted back German empire lands that had been lost at the end of WWI. This included a large part of Poland. The Russians also wanted back land which THEY had lost due to WWI and the events that immediately followed....and that included a large part of Poland and the Baltic nations, and some other bits of land elsewhere. So, at that point both the Germans and the Russians had essentially the same concerns, a desire to recover lost lands, and a very keen desire to eliminate the new nation state of Poland *entirely*! So naturally they were able to come to an agreement, make a German-Soviet pact, and divide up Poland, give the Baltic states back to Russia, and so on. They were both recovering former imperial territory. This again IS what great powers do! It doesn't require enormous amounts of "evil" to do that, it's just normal great power behavior, that's all. They play to win the big imperial game, that's all...and they move when they think the time is right.
For the Soviets to plan a major offensive into western Europe while Hitler was tied up fighting the British made very good sense from a Soviet point of view, because it was highly likely to succeed. The Germans clearly had a very effective and deadly war machine. One to be feared. Everyone could see that in 1940-41. When would they be most vulnerable? While they were still tied up fighting the British. Would there ever be a better time to fight the Germans than while they were still occupied fighting the UK? No! Because of this, I consider the theory that Russia was planning to attack Germany in probably the summer or fall of '41 quite likely to be correct. It makes sense from a pragmatic point of view. And so they massed huge forces in an offensive posture along their western borders in the spring of 1941.
But the Germans could see those preparations. They knew what was coming. And their only viable options were to: 1. Set up the strongest possible defenses on their eastern borders with Russia. or.... 2. Attack the Russians first! The 2nd option was more likely to give them the initiative and achieve a decisive victory...and Hitler always tended to think in offensive, not defensive terms. So the Germans went ahead with the most powerful attack they possible could against the Soviet Union....and came quite close to winning their war in the East, because it was simply the best option they had IF the Soviets were planning to attack them anyway.
I have said nothing here about who I think was "more evil" a system....the Soviets or the Nazis....because it's irrelevant to the strategic realities that drove them both to act against one another. Both Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany had the strongest reasons to fear *each other* in the 1940's, and both acted in a pragmatic and rational way to do what seemed to make the most sense.......strictly from *their* point of view. That's what great powers do. They fight either when they think they can win.......................or when circumstances give them NO choice, even though the odds of winning may be long ones. And for the Germans, the odds of winning a total war in Russia *were* long ones, as history has shown us. But they probably had no real choice about it. (Nor did the Russians, once the Germans had fired the first shots... The die was cast. They would both suffer incredible losses as a result, which was a tragedy for both nations. It is the ordinary people who suffer what the empires decide. And the soldiers on both sides would absolutely believe that they were "saving the world".)
You are interpreting too much!
The Sowjets knew after the fall of France that the Germans will come for them eventually and decided to strike first.
Plus Germany was running low on oil!
Russia then and now has no desire for Western Europe, thy feel quite comfy is the East.
@@tobiasphilippwittlinger8753 - Yes, Germany was desperately short of oil (Ploesti wasn't enough to meet their needs), and the only place they could get it was...in Russia. So yes, it was highly likely that the Germans would eventually invade Russia. And yes, it makes sense that the Russians would decide to strike first. And then it also makes sense that the Germans would detect the Russian preparations and would decide to strike the Russians first. It was just normal survival strategy on the part of both Germany and Russia...
I also agree with you that the Russians have no desire *now* to take over western Europe....they are simply reacting defensively to what they see as a threat *from* the West (the West taking over Ukraine, following the coup in 2014, and arming Ukraine to fight Russia).
Whether the Soviets had any intention of taking over western Europe in Stalin's time....I'm not sure about that. They did end up taking over about half of Europe simply in the process of defeating Hitler's Third Reich. Whether that was their original intention before the fighting started....I don't know.

2 things
Invading Russia is simple, they do scorched earth and so long as you have the supply lines you will win
Britain was too exhausted to make major moves on the west
The writing was on the wall in terms of oil shortages, if they invaded while everyone else was mostly weak while they still had the strength to supply the invasion and get to the oil fields they could have won
What does "getting to the oil fields" mean? It means that, after a strenous, exhausting fight (we know the sort of resistance the Soviets could and did put up; the Soviets were not like the froggy sissies), the Germans would reach a Blade Runner landscape of utter destruction of the oil-producing and -storing facilities, and a nightmare of huge well fires, which would take months to put out. A year for clearing the rubble, and two or three full years to have the oilfields in full production again. You would "get to the oil fields" only to find that you'd die there, out of sheer exhaustion. Oh, and I didn't mention the partisan guerrilla, which would keep you VERY entertained after you "got to the oil fields" ....
I'm pretty sure in Hitler's Table Talks and Mein Kampf he talks extensively about Lebensraum and the need for Aryan colonisation and the removal of Slavs
Nazi Apologist: Hitler never wanted to conquer the world!!
Here's the exact quotes from Mein Kampf that says otherwise, I hope Nazi apologist would debunk it if they think that this quotes is not about Hitler wanting to conquer the world
"Until finally the best portion of mankind (the Aryan Race) will possess the earth and will be free to work in every domain all over the world and even reach spheres that lie outside the earth" (Page 348-349)

In the Führer’s speech, he said these Molotov-demands led to the liberation march into USSR:
1. German consent to Russia’s liquidation of Finland
2. Romania should not be protected by a German guarantee against the Soviet Union.
3. That Russia would be allowed to establish garrisons in Bulgaria in order to effect a Russian guarantee to this state.
4. Russian ownership of bases at the Dardanelles.
And ofcourse the 800K soldier build up on Germany by Soviet Union.

Absolutely superb and very well researched video. I have studied these events for almost 25 years and you nailed it.
4:00 - about time someone said this. Your other video I watched mentioned the situation as well. Fascism and aligned groups were a reaction to the red terror of both the anarchist/communist groups active within all major western cities, and a direct defensive ideology to horrors reported back from within the Soviet Union.
This is objectively a fact to anyone looking 2nd level to the era. Practically speaking, if our ‘elites’ or ‘intellectuals’ today want to avoid the public trending towards right wing reactionary political movements; the ‘elites ‘and ‘intellectuals’ need to stop threatening societal security, economics, and family traditions..... yet these disruptive ‘progressive’ billionaire backed groups still press knowing this.
It appears the ends justify the means to these megalomaniacs, and one may argue that one of their goals is to indeed have a more extreme society on both ends, not just the left end.
Kodos to you, my brother for having such wisdom in your videos seeking the truth, it is refreshing to watch videos clearly from someone in their 20’s, dare I say on the early end of that age range having such an in-depth perspective.
Much respect.
They have created an extreme right wing threat, in the minds of the population. That's all they need.
Yes, their goal is most definitely to have a more extreme society on both ends. This is how they get us to slaughter each other. First, the sides must be chosen, and made to hate one another. The flames must be fanned until they turn into an inferno. Wars don't spontaneously "break out"; they arren't an organic outbreak such as the measels or mumps. WARS ARE FOMENTED. Divide and conquer. First, culturally. Then mitiltarily. Finally, move on to the next host, and repeat.
What a well presented history video! Good to see someone looking into an event from this particular time period in a balanced and rational manner. Hope the channel does not get taken down.
One of the first to expose the Soviet perspective on this which also backs up the German reason was Victor Suvorov with his book Icebreaker. There are 2 much more recent books on this matter one which set out to prove Suvorov wrong, only to back Suvorov up, meaning he was right.

Way more capable force
And trying to argue otherwise is pointless because the history of 1941 proves me right
I don't think you're right. Hitler definitely seemed to believe in Lebensraum when he wrote Mein Kampf. The Nazis also believed in The Shrinking Market theory - and wanted agricultural land to balance their "over industrialisation"
so your saying hitler attacked for pure race and lebensraum?
@@Mongolass He thought the Slavs were untermenshchen but I didn't mention that. The role that played was that he probably underestimated how difficult it would be to defeat Russia.
All this may be so but what came out in the wash? Mein Kampf was a long time before and in large part a political message to the domestic population. Conversely, bolshevism was expressly an international revolution.
That still doesn't prove that Hitler's attack on Russia, at that point in the war was for that reason.
It never made sense tactically, now it does.
Hitler wrote Mein Kampf almost two decades before the war with the USSR. Perspectives change over time. Lebensraum was not even close to being a priority during the midst of WWII. Securing resource independence was.

Lebensraum is not a myth. The right of 'advanced' cultures taking and developing land underutilized by 'primitive' cultures.

The western world should have been grateful to Germany for the preimptive stike on Bolshevism.
So you're saying you were already a failed result because Soviets were stronger than you.
I think you're reaching. Russia after seeing Hitler conquer and occupy the following countries: Poland (attacked in September 1939), Denmark (April 1940), Norway (April 1940), Belgium (May 1940), the Netherlands (May 1940), Luxembourg (May 1940), France (May 1940), Yugoslavia (April 1941), and Greece (April 1941). It would make sense that Russian would preemptively build offensive positions for a counter invasion. Hitler and Stalin had high unachievable hopes. However, people painting either as saints or saviors and aligning misperceptions to further their beliefs is rather asinine.
Stalin invaded the exact same number of nations as Hitler did during that time period, so that’s hard to buy
@@ZoomerHistorian Hitler came to power in 1933 after a failed election and death of Hindenburg via constitutional fiat so let's do a comparison of what could have been deemed a threat after 1933 for self defense since the nonelected chancellor would have been privy to information during that time.
1938 Japan clashed with Russia and won and in 1939, Poland with the Germans. Prior to 33 the Soviet Union expanded until Poland.
So I'm not seeing your logic. Please send dates and countries not blanket statements if you're a historian please provide history. I am truly curious.
I love history so I am interested in what countries. I don't like blanketed statements.
I agree that Hitler probably got ansy and hit first, but to say it was self defense is reaching. That is like believing when Goebbels said the invasion of Poland was in retaliation for an attack on Germany. Which was conducted by German commandos dressed as Poles when Otto Skorzeny was interviewed. Hitler assumed Russia would be an easy victory as the rest of Europe was, other wise in self defense he wouldn't have planned to take Moscow. Self defense or limited wars are just meant to maul your opponent not conquer them.
I had a relative take part in Barbarossa and what he was told was vastly different. Also The Soviets had massed large forces on their western frontier, but they were under orders not to provoke the Germans. Although mistrustful of Hitler, Stalin did not believe that he would attack so soon, despite the ominous German build-up and a stream of intelligence warnings.
@@ZoomerHistorianSo because Stalin annexed the Baltics and took Polish Belorussia in the Molotov agreement, that means he is now disallowed from building up? Also, not the exact same amount.
The enormous Russian tank and armaments buildup started well before 1939
To the credit of the Germans, at least they stopped invading nations 80 years ago. Look at Russia today--THREE times they invade Georgia. Russia never changes.

from brentonbradberrys book
"As thousand plane armadas of bombers continued to obliterate German towns right up until the day of surrender, during the last months of the war 1,800 British and American fighter planes were unleashed over Germany with
orders to destroy the transportation system of the entire country. All day long, every day, the skies were filled with these fighter planes crisscrossing over the
German countryside, strafing anything that moved. They especially targeted trains. They first shot into the steam locomotives, causing them to explode, then circled back around and made strafing runs shooting up the cars, including passenger cars loaded with refugees. They strafed vehicles on the roads,
people riding bicycles, or people just walking along the roads. They strafed farmers plowing in their fields, and killed their livestock. They strafed into the windows of houses. They strafed people in the streets. They especially worked
over refugee columns on the roads as they fled invading armies. Killing Germans became sport. Germany became a slaughterhouse where anything that moved was fair game. As a result of all of this, the Germans could not feed their people for lack of transport. They could not feed the inmates in the
concentration camps. This accounts for the masses of emaciated corpses which
so shocked American and British troops who encountered them as they moved into Germany. Typhus epidemics had broken out amongst the starvation
weakened inmates.
But the Russians were the worst. When they first entered East Prussia, they rd and slaughtered Germans in their masses. All of East Prussia took to the roads, running away from the advancing Russians, trying to make their
way as refugees into the heart of Germany. “The disaster that befell this area with the entry of the Soviet forces has no parallel in modern European experience. There were considerable sections of it where, to judge by all
existing evidence, scarcely a man, woman or child of the indigenous
population was left alive after the initial passage of the Soviet forces.”
