- Allowed the British Army to evacuate at Dunkirk instead of holding them for ransom in exchange for demanding a status quo antebellum peace from the western Allies, thereby allowing him to focus on the east.
- Didn’t purge the generals like he had in all other government departments. They lied to him about progress and disobeyed his orders when he was laid up with typhus, which meant that Stalingrad wasn’t taken in time.
- Didn’t allow the peoples of the freed nations of the USSR to establish their own temporary governments, instead continuing German military occupation (and military governorship). This caused resentment among the tens of millions who’d considered the Germans liberators, and it not only tied up more German military forces, it lost them the manpower of the potential hundreds of thousands of volunteers to push further into the Soviet Union.
- Didn’t actually commit genocide on the jews.
Not to be a dick, but I linked you for counter arguments. Hope that is cool. I know you are tough.
No prob.
Some claim you are not TallestSkil. I know you are. The Dragon always knows.
Cheers mate!
One, he expected Whites to be Whites. He didn't know jews were controlling the machinations behind the scenes.
Two, don't know enough to talk about that.
Three, Staling did an effective propaganda campaign against the German. I think I know what you are talking about, but issues there. Would love to talk to you in person about this.
Four, come on. I guess I am just like Hitler. I don't want to exterminate them. I just want them away.
Fair points from an alternate perspective.
One, he expected Whites to be Whites.
His trusting nature led to his downfall. He was a white’s white.
Staling did an effective propaganda campaign against the German.
Sure did. Even dressed up Russians in German uniforms to burn minority towns within the USSR itself. I’m thinking most of the people in the Baltic states and Ukraine, who cheered the coming of the Germans until they realized there wasn’t going to be an establishment of independent government until after the war.
I don't want to exterminate them. I just want them away.
They ALWAYS come back. There’s no other option.
Even dressed up Russians in German uniforms to burn minority towns within the USSR itself.
A dickhead Ukrainian friend still thinks the German came and purged. Sigh. Makes me sad. Stalin's order is right there for forensic evidence and the jew propaganda still wins.
Grrrrrrr.
... until they realized there wasn’t going to be an establishment of independent government until after the war.
Well, that's kinda speculation. But whatever.
