The terrible truth about the war 1941 1945. Chronicle of global changes. Brief information about German pronunciation
For decades, the truth about the Nazi-Bolshevik war of 1941-1945 was distorted by the totalitarian regime of the USSR in Ukraine. And today, many residents of Slavyansk are accustomed to believing that Germany treacherously attacked the peaceful Soviet Union. But the truth is that the Soviet Union until June 22, 1941 - was an ally of Nazi Germany. - In fact, he was one of the Axis countries.
While in 1940 German bombs were raining down on London and Paris, the USSR supplied the Nazis with oil, grain, copper, timber and other raw materials necessary for the German military industry. In the Murmansk region, "Nord Bases" were created for the German naval forces. German ships were also based here, sinking British convoys in the North Atlantic, and Soviet icebreakers escorted German ships across the Arctic to the Pacific Ocean. Do you think it's not true because you didn't learn it in school? - But it's true. This is evidenced by facts and documents.
Historian Viktor Suvorov claims that Stalin was preparing the so-called "liberation campaign" of the Red Army in Europe to realize the Bolshevik idea of a world revolution. But Hitler attacked first.
The historical fact is indisputable - on May 29, 1941, the first seemingly strange Russian-German phrase book was published with a circulation of 6 million copies.
The second edition was released on June 6th. These phrasebooks are remarkable in that they contain phrases such as: "You have nothing to fear, the Red Army will come soon." Or: "What is the name of this river?".
We present to your attention the RUSSIAN-GERMAN MILITARY PHRASEBOOK (signed for printing on May 29, 1941)

Halt! Hyundai ho!
You can't help but know!
Name your regiment number!
What images arise in a Russian citizen who is told about the beginning of the Great Patriotic War? Most likely - downcast columns of prisoners, wandering under the protection of German machine gunners, Soviet tanks broken and stuck in the mud on the roadsides and in the field, planes burned at airfields ... The series can be continued.
Most of these images came from photographs taken in the summer of 1941. Almost all of these photos, and even the documentary chronicle, were taken after the battles, when days and weeks had passed. There are relatively few pictures taken in battle, not before. In addition, most of the pictures were taken on busy highways, where huge masses of Nazis walked and drove back and forth. But not all battles, the battles took place along the main roads, a significant number of equipment knocked out in battle could be found near thousands of villages, villages, in copses, on country roads.
Therefore, there was the myth of the small-scale mechanization of the Red Army, parts of which allegedly moved only on foot or with the help of horses, and the Wehrmacht only by car. Although if we compare the states of the infantry division of the Wehrmacht and the motorized rifle division of the Red Army, then there is no lag, the mechanization is almost equal. The Red Army had plenty of mechanized corps and tank brigades.
Against the background of such a picture was created the myth of the unwillingness of Soviet soldiers to fight for the Bolsheviks, Stalin. Although even in Soviet times, enough materials were published that tell about the difficult battles of the initial stage of the war, mass heroism, the exploits of border guards, pilots, tankers, artillerymen, and infantry.
These myths and other similar conjectures are born due to a lack of understanding of the real picture of the life of the country in the pre-war period and at the beginning of the war, or, even worse, they are created deliberately, waging an information war against our country and people. It must be understood that even the richest state cannot keep a multimillion-strong army under arms in a period when there is no war, tearing off millions of healthy men from real production. In the borderlands there are troops that will become the basis of the grouping for the first operation of the war, only with the declaration of war is the gigantic mechanism of mobilization launched. But even potential military personnel, who are mobilized in the first place, do not gather in peacetime in a zone of 50-300 km from the enemy, they are mobilized where they live and work. Even the current conscription and officers may not be on the border with the enemy, but in the Caucasus, in Siberia, in the Far East. That is, there are very limited troops on the border, far from the entire payroll of the peacetime army. Only in the case of mobilization, the troops are increased to wartime states, huge masses of people and equipment are being transported to the front, perhaps only still potential.
Mobilization can be launched even before the outbreak of hostilities, but this requires very important reasons, a political decision by the country's leadership. At this point created the myth that "intelligence reported", but the tyrant was stupid ... The beginning of mobilization is not just an internal event, but a step of great political importance, causing a huge resonance in the world. It is almost impossible to conduct it covertly, a potential enemy can use it as a pretext for war. Therefore, in order to actually start a war, very weighty, reinforced concrete grounds are needed. Starting a war, from a political and military point of view, was unreasonable, the main plans for defense construction were to be completed in 1942. The basis for such a decision could be intelligence or analysis of the political situation. But, despite the widespread opinion about the power of Soviet intelligence, the actual intelligence was highly inconsistent. Crumbs of important and useful information simply sank in a mass of gossip and outright misinformation.
From a political point of view, relations between the Reich and the Union were quite normal, there was no threat: financial and economic cooperation, the absence of territorial disputes, a non-aggression pact, delimitation of spheres of influence. In addition, which also played a crucial role in assessing the date of the start of the war, the Kremlin understood that it was very likely in the short term, the Third Reich was associated with a war with England. Until the issue with Britain was resolved, fighting the Soviet Union was an extremely adventurous step, beyond normal logic. Berlin did not send any diplomatic signals that usually start a war - territorial claims (as to Czechoslovakia, Poland), demands, ultimatums.
When Berlin did not react in any way to the TASS message of June 14 (it said that the reports published abroad about the impending war between the USSR and Germany had no basis), Stalin began the processes of mobilization, but without its announcement: they advanced to the border from the depths of the border military districts of the division, the movement of non-mobilized troops by rail from the internal districts to the border of the Western Dvina and Dnieper rivers began. There were other events that completely reject the speculation on the topic: "Stalin did not believe."
The Red Army actually entered the war without completing the mobilization, so at the beginning of the war it had 5.4 million people, and according to the mobilization plan of February 1941 (MP-41) in wartime states, it was supposed to be 8 .68 million people. That is why in the border divisions, when they entered the battle, there were approximately 10 thousand people, instead of the prescribed St. 14 thousand. Even worse was the situation in the rear units. The troops of the border and internal military districts were divided into three operationally unrelated parts - units directly at the border, units at a depth of about 100 km from the border, and troops about 300 km from the border. The Wehrmacht got the opportunity to take advantage of the number of personnel, the number of pieces of equipment and destroy the Soviet troops in parts.
By June 22, 1941, the Wehrmacht was completely mobilized, its number was increased to 7.2 million people. Strike groups were concentrated on the border and crushed the Soviet border divisions before the Red Army could change the balance of power. Only in the process of the battle for Moscow could the situation be changed.
The myth of the superiority of defense over attack, on the new western border of the USSR in 1940-1941 they built a line of fortifications, fortified areas (URs), they are also called the "Molotov line". By the war, many structures were unfinished, uncamouflaged, without communications, and so on. But, most importantly, there were not enough forces on the border to hold back the blow of the German army, even relying on the URs. The defense could not hold back the onslaught of the Wehrmacht, the German troops had vast experience in breaking the lines of defense since the First World War, applying it in 1940 on the border with France. For a breakthrough, assault groups with sappers, explosives, flamethrowers, aircraft, and artillery were used. For example: on the 22nd, near the city of Taurage in the Baltic States, the 125th Infantry Division took up defensive positions, but the Wehrmacht broke through it in less than a day. The divisions and units covering the border could not provide the necessary density of defense. They were sparse over a vast area, so the German strike groups quickly broke into the defenses, though not at the pace they expected.
The only way to stop the enemy's breakthrough was counterattacks with their own mechanized corps. The border districts had mechanized corps, where new types of tanks, the T-34 and KV, were sent in the first place. On June 1, 1941, the Red Army had 25,932 tanks, self-propelled guns and tankettes (although some of them were in combat readiness (as at present, there are a certain number of units in the parks, and 60 percent ready to go into battle immediately), in Western special districts had 13,981 units.The mechanized corps were "hostages" of the general unfavorable situation, due to the collapse of the defense in several directions at once, they were forced to scatter between several targets.In addition, the mechanized corps were inferior in the organizational part, the German tank groups numbered 150-200 thousand .people from several motorized corps, reinforced with artillery, motorized infantry and other units.The Soviet mechanized corps numbered about 30 thousand people.The tank units of the Wehrmacht, having fewer tanks than the Red Army, reinforced them with more powerful motorized infantry and artillery, including anti-tank.
The general strategy of the leadership of the Red Army was absolutely correct - operational counterattacks, only they could stop the enemy strike groups (there was no tactical atomic yet). Unlike France, the Red Army, with its fierce counterattacks, was able to buy time, inflict heavy losses on the enemy, which ultimately led to the failure of the "blitzkrieg" plan, and hence the entire war. Yes, and the leadership of the Wehrmacht drew conclusions, became more cautious (not Poland and France), began to pay more attention to the defense of the flanks, slowing down the pace of the offensive even more. It is clear that the organization of counterattacks was not up to par (but it is not for us to judge, the current cabinet prosecutors could not organize their similarities), concentration was weak, there was not enough air cover, units rushed into battle from the march, units. The mechanized corps were forced to go on the attack without suppressing the enemy's defenses with artillery, it was not enough, and the one that was behind. There was not enough of their own infantry to support the tank attack. This led to heavy losses of armored vehicles, the Germans quite easily burned old types of tanks. Tanks of new types were more effective, but they could not replace a full-fledged attack with the support of aviation, artillery and infantry. The myth of the invulnerability of tanks T-34, KV for the Wehrmacht just another guess. Like, if Stalin had ordered them to be “riveted” in sufficient quantities, then the enemy would have been stopped at the border. The Wehrmacht had 50 mm PAK-38 anti-tank guns that could penetrate even KV armor using sub-caliber shells. In addition, the Wehrmacht had anti-aircraft guns and heavy field guns, which also pierced the armor of the latest Soviet tanks. These tanks still required fine-tuning, were technically unreliable, for example, the V-2 diesel engine, in 1941, its passport resource did not exceed 100 engine hours on the stand and an average of 45–70 hours in the tank. This led to the frequent failure of new tanks on marches for technical reasons.
PAK-38
But it was the mechanized corps that saved the infantry from complete annihilation. They delayed the movement of the enemy, saved Leningrad from being captured on the move, and held back the advance of the German tank group E. von Kleist in the South-West direction.
The myth about the decrease in the combat capability of the command corps due to repression does not stand up to criticism. The percentage of those repressed from the general command staff is very small, the decline in the quality of training of command personnel is associated with the rapid growth of the armed forces of the USSR in the pre-war period. If in August 1939 the Red Army numbered 1.7 million people, then in June 1941 - 5.4 million people. In the high command, a number of commanders came to the top, who later became the best commanders of the Second World War. A significant role was also played by the lack of combat experience among a significant part of the Red Army, and the Wehrmacht was already an army that “tasted blood” and won a number of victories, the French army, for example, was then considered the best in Europe.
We must also understand the fact that the huge columns of prisoners of war, which are often shown on TV, may not be military personnel at all. The Wehrmacht in cities and other villages drove to the camps all those liable for military service from 18 years old. In addition, one must understand that not all front-line fighters are in the division - about half of them. The rest are artillerymen, signalmen, there were many builders (before the war, large-scale work was carried out to strengthen the border), military rear services. Getting into the environment, the units fought, tried to break through, while there was fuel, ammunition, food. The operational summary of Army Group Center for June 30 stated: “A lot of trophies, various weapons (mainly artillery guns), a large number of various equipment and a lot of horses were captured. The Russians are suffering huge losses in the dead, there are few prisoners. The "rear guards" were less trained, their mental training was also worse than that of the front line fighters, who mostly died with weapons in their hands. Or were injured. An impressive newsreel column of grooms, signalers and builders could easily be recruited from one corps, and entire armies were surrounded.
The Wehrmacht crushed the border divisions, the so-called "deep" corps 100-150 km from the border, they could not stop the enemy, the "weight categories" were too different, but they did the maximum - they won time and forced the enemy to throw into battle the units that they planned to introduce into fight in the second stage of the "blitzkrieg". A huge minus was the fact that the retreating Soviet units had to abandon a huge amount of equipment that ran out of fuel and which could, under other conditions, be restored. The mechanized corps burned down in the fire of war, and so far there was nothing to restore them - if in June and early July 1941 the Soviet command had mechanized corps in the hands, then by August - October they were gone. This was one of the causes of other disasters in the first year of the war: the Kyiv "boiler" in September 1941, the Vyazemsky, Bryansk and Melitopol "boilers" in October 1941.

"Those who lie about the past war bring the future war closer."
"We won this war only because we filled the Germans with corpses." Victor Astafiev.
It is no secret that in the USSR, and now in Russia, it is customary to glorify the Second World War and distort the facts about it. Few people know that 2,000,000 people died near Stalingrad. These are soldiers of the Soviet army, civilians and fascists with allies. At school, we were taught to think that it was such and such a turning point, a convenient location of troops, and so on. But in fact, they simply threw a lot of people to their deaths, just because behind them was a city called Stalingrad. They surrendered Kyiv, but they did not surrender another city so valuable for the Soviet ideology with the name of the leader - Leningrad, they simply allowed people to starve to death. Communist idols were above everything.
There are several videos in this post. They shed light on the true events of the war and pre-war times. In the first video, the Russian writer talks about how the Soviets treated their soldiers, in fact, they kept them like cattle.

Here, a resident of Lvov tells how she was tortured by the NKVD officers. They destroyed so many people in the USSR that their number can probably be compared with the population of a small country, several million. For all the years of repression, according to various historians, from 23 to 40 million people were destroyed. It is probably not surprising that the Galicians, who survived the famine and repression, did not fall in love with the Soviet regime.

To complete the picture, we need to add more interviews of German veterans, how many Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, Polish women were raped by the Germans during the Second World War. How many villages, along with the inhabitants, were burned. How many died in concentration camps.
Unfortunately, history has no subjunctive mood and wars do not go according to the rules of chess games.
By and large, mere mortals do not have much choice,
one burns prisoners in an oven at Dachau to survive, the other with a rifle goes to the tank.
But if 22 million died during the Second World War, 40 million, according to
the author, the NKVD froze, this is already 62 million. How many people were in the USSR if, having lost more than 60 million able-bodied population in the main population, if the factories were working, cities and villages were restored?
Also, the quote
08/14/42: An unsent letter to his sister Sabina was found with a German soldier Josef.
The letter says: “Today we organized 20 chickens and 10 cows. We are removing the entire population from the villages - adults and children. No amount of prayer helps. We can be ruthless. If someone does not want to go, they finish him off. Recently, in a village, a group of residents became stubborn and did not want to leave for anything. We went berserk and immediately shot them down. And then something terrible happened. Several Russian women stabbed two German soldiers with pitchforks... They hate us here. No one in the homeland can imagine what fury the Russians have against us.”
Corporal Felix Kandels writes to a friend: “Having rummaged through the chests and organized a good dinner, we began to have fun. The girl got angry, but we also organized her. It doesn't matter that the whole squad... Don't worry. I remember the advice of the lieutenant, and the girl is dead as a grave ... ".
07/24/42: Mathias Zimlich writes to his brother Corporal Heinrich Zimlich: “There is a camp for Russians in Leiden, you can see them there. They are not afraid of weapons, but we talk to them with a good whip ... "
"From 23 to 40 million" is for all the years of repression from 1917 to 1953, this is almost 2 generations, people were born and died, and not at once in one fell swoop.
I do not approve the figures, but explain what is written. 40 million - counting the unborn.
In only two Holodomors, about 10 million people were killed.
Compare how Germany was restored and you will be horrified at the insignificance of the Soviet "restoration" that has not yet been completed.
Let's calculate: since 1914 there was the first world, mass epidemics - typhus, Spanish flu, since 1917 a civil war, which included the Entente countries, mass emigration. That is, the initial correct number of the population simply does not exist. Further, speaking of the unborn during the period from 1917 to 1953, you inevitably (you just can’t count it differently) include the unborn due to the unborn due to the civil war and the Second World War, epidemics, etc. What reliability of figures can we talk about in this case at all? Regarding the restoration of Germany, I can only say that having visited Austria, Switzerland and Germany, I clearly realized that the Eastern Slavs are not Germans and Austrians. Unfortunately, from the global questions of mankind "Who is to blame?" and "What to do?", we cycle and look for the guilty everywhere, but not in ourselves. our roads were built not by Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev, but by people like you and me. You are old enough not to expect some sort of mythical truth. War always highlights the true character of a person, and it is foolish to expect from a person who shoots another, the "pink snot" of the supposedly racial intelligentsia. Sorry. We were not there, so we are not supposed to judge. You can also talk about the indigenous population of America, I wonder where most of them have gone, do you know? About the Great Depression, when almost 1,000 people died of starvation per day in the United States, and much more. Life is pretty cruel, actually. The main misfortune of socialism is a generation of people who can only whine that he was not provided with communism and look for someone to blame. Mother is loved by both the rich and the poor. Motherland in general, too

/ QUOTE] We did not surrender the city to the Nazis.
3. Germany had allies - Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Croatia, Finland, Spain.
Thanks to the “wise policy of the party”, the USSR, having committed aggression against six states, was expelled from the League of Nations, found itself in international isolation and was left alone with the German military machine, having not a single ally or at least a country that treats it with sympathy. It is not worth remembering Mongolia: a country in which foreign troops are quartered, whose entire government was taken to Moscow and shot according to Soviet laws, is called not an ally, but a protectorate.
In London, which proclaimed the destruction of Hitlerism as its goal, it was believed, not without reason, that "every day the Soviet Union acts more and more definitely as an ally of Germany." In response, the Kremlin branded the British as “warmongers” and argued with aplomb that fighting Hitlerism was a senseless and criminal undertaking.
4. Germany had the best army in the world, perfectly armed, trained, mastered the "blitzkrieg", already used to winning. The Red Army was decapitated, deprived of initiative, poorly trained, as a result of liberation campaigns it was in hostile territory and was not morally prepared for a defensive war.
According to all calculations, after a powerful knockout blow, the “red colossus” should have collapsed. Such a blow, to the amazement of Stalin, who planned to fight exclusively on foreign territory, followed on June 22, 1941. The Red Army, having received a directive to “fall upon” the enemy with all its forces and means and destroy it, immediately set about delivering “crushing blows” in response. For some time, the Kremlin harbored illusions that the "invincible and legendary" would throw the enemy out of the sacred Soviet land in the shortest possible time. Instead, a crushing defeat of the first strategic echelon followed. By July 9, that is, in just 18 days, 12,000 tanks, 4,000 aircraft, 19,000 guns, 770,000 soldiers and commanders were lost. Endless columns of prisoners wandered along the dusty roads, and the "class brothers" did not even think of turning their bayonets against their own government. Stalin, declaring the Patriotic War, and himself the Supreme Commander, tried to direct the military operations by the usual methods: he searched for enemies, shot and shuffled the commanders, assigned commissars to them, tormented them with petty care, declared all those captured traitors. Nothing helped: "Barbarossa" was realized even ahead of schedule; The Fuhrer's favorite topic of table talk in those days was plans for the future structure of Great Germany, its organization, principles of government and the wealth that would pour into the Reich from the East. In the second half of July, Smolensk fell, in September the Germans blockaded Leningrad and captured Kyiv, in October they broke into the Donbass and Crimea, took Orel and went to Tula. On November 15, the battle for Moscow began. In gigantic "cauldrons" the personnel Red Army finally ceased to exist.
Iosif Vissarionovich seriously thought about the possibility of concluding peace with the Germans like Brest-Litovsk, when the Bolsheviks bought off huge territorial concessions and reparations in order to maintain power. If this happened, it is not known how the course of the Second World War would have turned. Perhaps the first atomic bombs would have fallen not on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but on Hamburg and Bremen.
The USSR was losing the war with Germany, and would have inevitably lost it if it had fought alone. However, having become a victim of Hitler's aggression, the Soviet Union automatically found allies in the face of the Anglo-Americans. As you know, “Britain has no eternal enemies”, and eternal interests dictated the need to support a weaker and less dangerous one in the fight between two totalitarian regimes. The consistent anti-communist Churchill immediately extended a helping hand to Stalin, and behind the back of the British stood the resources of the dominions and colonies and the economic power of the United States, which had not yet entered the war, but had already adopted the Lend-Lease law. On July 12, 1941, a Soviet-British agreement was signed on joint actions in the war against Germany. In August, the United States and Great Britain signed the Atlantic Charter, which was joined by the USSR on September 24. "The world's first proletarian state" miraculously became a member of the "anti-Hitler coalition of democratic countries." According to the protocol signed on October 1 in Moscow, the Western powers undertook to supply monthly 400 aircraft, 500 tanks, a large number of trucks, metal, high-octane gasoline, steam locomotives, food, gunpowder and much more, without which, as Stalin pointed out in correspondence with Churchill, "Soviet The Union will either suffer defeat ... or lose for a long time the ability to take active actions on the front of the fight against Nazism. Almost immediately, the Supreme Commander began to demand from the newly acquired allies the opening of a second front in Northern France or Scandinavia, and on November 6 he opened his eyes to the Soviet people: “One of the reasons for the failure of the Red Army is the absence of a second front in Europe against the Nazi troops ... The situation is now as follows that our country is waging a war of liberation alone, without any military assistance."
Later, in hindsight, our historians will compose “for students and graduate students”: “The victory of the USSR is all the more significant because it was achieved independently, because the proportion of all goods delivered to the USSR by the Allies in World War II was negligible.” And then, according to N.S. Khrushchev, in a narrow circle of associates, the Leader "bluntly said that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won this war: we would not have been able to withstand its onslaught and lost the war."
True, the Fuhrer of the German nation greatly underestimated the resource capabilities of the enemy and the ability of the communist regime to mobilize. Already in August, Berlin began to doubt the possibility of completing the Eastern Campaign before winter. On August 11, General Halder made a noteworthy entry in his diary: “The general situation shows more and more clearly that the colossus of Russia, which deliberately prepared for war with all the unrestraint characteristic of totalitarian regimes, was underestimated by us.” And Hitler soon realized where he had broken into: “This is nothing but a single factory for the production of weapons at the expense of lowering the living standards of people. Arms factory directed against Europe!”
The Soviet Union has always prepared for war with the "capitalist encirclement". The Soviet political leadership, guided by the dogmas of Marxism-Leninism, wanted it, did everything to start it, and diligently threw firewood into the flaring world fire. In order to say the decisive word in this war, a command system of resource distribution was introduced, collectivization and industrialization were carried out, the “victorious proletariat” received a seven-day working week and was attached to the machine from the age of 14, camps and parachute towers were built throughout the country, propaganda ideas of internationalism and Shpanov's books. From the loudspeakers it sounded: "If tomorrow there is a war, if tomorrow we go on a campaign." For the sake of the "great goal", tens of thousands of aircraft and tanks, mountains of weapons and military ammunition were produced. The militarization of economic and social life in the USSR reached a degree that Germany did not know at the peak of its military efforts. The terror unleashed in the country was intended to destroy any potential opposition, eradicate dissent and accustom the people "to order" (even Hitler eventually recognized the "Stalinist truth" and regretted that he did not shoot half of his generals for preventive purposes). And the low standard of living in the country, declared a "military camp" long before the war, allowed the population to endure all hardships. Stalin and his comrades definitely did not expect one thing - that the Patriotic War would have to be waged.
Under the conditions of war, the totalitarian system ensured the stability of the state during the period of the most difficult trials. Military defeats did not lead to revolution, as happened with tsarist Russia in 1917, the Soviet people "did not expel their government", although, Stalin admitted, they had every right to do so. The Soviet leadership made a very strong strategic move by ordering the relocation of industry to the east. On the one hand, this created the preconditions for the restoration of mass military production in places where the Nazis did not even dream of going. On the other hand, the evacuation of plants and factories or their destruction (together with mines and power plants) frustrated German plans for the rapid organization of production on the basis of the occupied regions. Such a grandiose event - the transfer of 1523 industrial enterprises beyond the Urals, huge masses of people who began to produce products right under the open sky and did not have the right to return to their native lands until 1953 - was impossible without the over-centralization of power and the monstrous exploitation of "home front workers", which Hitler could not imagine: he never thought to put German women at the machines or put them behind the levers of the tractor.

Ouwetheran lies in red-brown.
Our people annually celebrate the Day of Memory and Sorrow - the day of the perfidious attack on our country by fascist Germany and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
But this day is constantly being used by certain forces of "democratic" orientation to whip up anti-Soviet, anti-communist hysteria. Haters of the Soviet history of our country - false historians, court political scientists, television paid lackeys, such as Svanidze, Mlechin, Igor Chubais, Pivovarov and the like, instead of an objective study of the tragic period for our country - the beginning of a terrible war, resort to falsification of events and facts in order to discredit the actions of the Soviet leadership during this period. To do this, they build a chain of absolutely false statements, spreading them in the mass media.
Lie first. They claim that Stalin was informed about the exact date of the German attack, but he treated it with distrust and did not take timely measures to repel the aggression.
First, Stalin was presented with more than 150 versions of intelligence about the date of the attack, and more than half of them said that the attack would take place between November 1941 and 1942. It has now become clear that Richard Sorge was right and that he was an outstanding intelligence officer, and then he was one of the many who gave intelligence, which, unfortunately, was contradictory.
Secondly, operational measures were taken by Stalin. On June 18, four days before the start of the war, at his direction, the General Staff prepared and communicated to the troops an order to put the formations stationed near the border and the fleets on alert. On June 21, the directive of this content was confirmed. The only one who did not put the troops on alert was the commander of the Western Special District, General of the Army Pavlov. Therefore, the planes were destroyed at the airfields, the tanks were not refueled and did not have ammunition, the military personnel were not called from vacations, etc. But it was in the direction of this district that the Germans dealt the main blow. General Pavlov, whose criminal negligence decisively predetermined the tragic outcome of the initial period of the war, was shot.
Lie second. Introduced by Khrushchev, already repeatedly exposed, but nevertheless repeated from year to year, the slanderous nonsense that Stalin, after the start of the war, allegedly fell into prostration, went offline for two weeks, and therefore, with a radio message about the start of the war before it was not he who spoke as the people, but Molotov.
He did not speak because at that time he was seriously ill with a temperature of over 39 degrees. But nevertheless, in the very first hours of the war, Stalin arrived in the Kremlin, worked daily, almost around the clock, holding meetings and receiving 20-30 visitors daily. This is convincingly evidenced by the entries in the reception log, in which the attendants at the reception meticulously recorded the names of the visitors, the date of the visit and the time of their stay in Stalin's office.
Lie three. They say that Stalin, as a result of repression, destroyed the army command elite, and this was the reason for the failures at the beginning of the war.
In fact, a purge was carried out in the army leadership - painful but necessary, especially after the attempted coup d'état by the military elite in 1937. Otherwise, we could have not one traitor general Vlasov, but much more. E. Davis, who was the US ambassador to the USSR in the pre-war and war periods, wrote: “In Russia in 1941 there were no representatives of the “fifth column” - they were shot. The purge brought order to the country and the army and freed it from treason." In France, Czechoslovakia, Norway, it was the "fifth column" that surrendered their countries without a fight.
Lie four. They say that the Red Army in the first weeks of the war, despite its numerical superiority, did not offer any resistance to the German troops, and in the first two weeks about 4 million of our servicemen were taken prisoner.
In fact, at the beginning of the war, on the entire front from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea, the number of our troops was 2.7 million against 5.5 million among the Germans. So 4 million prisoners and our numerical superiority is wild nonsense.
During the first 3 weeks of the war, the Nazis lost 50% of their tanks, more than 1300 aircraft and more than a million killed, wounded and taken prisoner. And this is called - the Red Army did not resist ???
We have given only 4 variants of "democratic" lies, and there are an infinite number of them walking in the media.
Of course, there were mistakes and serious ones, it needs to be investigated, but you can’t lie so shamelessly! Apparently, anti-Sovietism and anti-communism overshadow the mind and conscience of these "historians" and "political scientists". But nothing can be done, they fulfill the order and feed on it!
Now, in black and white, I lie.
Fifth lie.
The Democrats lie that the Great Patriotic War began on June 22, 1941. This lie has already been exposed many times. In fact, it began on June 22, 1944, however, when the great Stalin summed up the results of the war, he hurried, forgot to write a corner near the number “4” and brought out with his own hand 194I - 1945. Knowing the leader’s wisdom, these dates were replicated in all textbooks history, and all staff maps and orders for the troops were classified. Go to the central archive and check: are they secret or not? Although, a group of professional falsifiers has been working there since 1991 (RotFront knows for sure, he read Owen's "1984"), so, for sure, there is a lie there. Well, think for yourself: how could an advanced society under the leadership of a great leader fight for 4 whole years with some kind of lousy National Socialist Germany? From here:
Lie six
Democrats say there were 4 years of hardest fighting. This has been debunked many times already. If on June 22 there had been an order from Stalin: “Forward,” then by August our troops would have washed their boots in the English Channel. However, everyone knows that Stalin had a very high temperature on the first day of the war - 39 degrees. He came sick to a meeting of the Central Committee and announced: "Mlyaaaaaa ... 39!, But we will win." The secretary heard: “May 9, we will win,” which he wrote down in the minutes of the meeting. No one dared to argue with wisdom, and the war plan was drawn up in such a way as to arrive in Berlin exactly by May 9th. It took our troops almost a year, with halts, exploring the surroundings and sights of Europe, not in a hurry to go to Berlin.
Lie seven.
Democrats claim that the Germans fought on our territory, surrounded Leningrad, approached Moscow, the Volga and the Caucasus. This vile libel does not climb into any gates. Only single-celled people could come up with such a thing. In fact, in all military operations, our troops won and only won! Well, of course, they took millions of captured Germans and sent them to Siberia on their own. It is these prisoners, wandering east across the USSR, that the democrats are trying to present as conquerors.
Lie number eight.
Democrats claim that our troops fought on American equipment: cars, motorcycles, tanks, planes. And they ate Lend-Lease lunch. This has been debunked many times already. What sensible thing can the imperialists do? In fact, all this equipment was produced at our factories by our workers. And they made the technique similar to the American one in order to confuse the enemy. Until the end of the war, the Germans thought they were fighting the Americans, who captured the Soviet Union from Alaska and reached Germany from the east.
Lie nine.
Democrats deduce this lie from the eighth lie, arguing that Stalin, on account of payment for equipment and food, exported to America all the royal gold and the gold that was laundered by the "volunteer Komsomol" in Kolyma during the first five-year plans. This has been debunked many times already. In fact, Stalin sent all our gold to the American communists to organize a revolutionary movement. The Communists pissed away the gold, mastered it and came to Stalin with a confession. A very interesting dialogue took place between them. American communists to Stalin:
No money…
Well, hang in there.
As we know, these are very wise words that are still used by politicians, since their wisdom has been tested by time and these words are relevant forever and ever. Amen.
I propose to evaluate: which of us lies more cheerfully?
