  • The personalities and spectres of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin loom large in the events of the twentieth Century. They were similar in some respects and yet very different in others.
    The first in a series that examines the interaction of the leading protagonists of WW2, this program looks in some depth at the nature of the relationship and interaction of these two ‘warlords’. The use of primary materials and memoirs as sources gives the psycho-historical analysis some substance.

      It looks like a bunch of propaganda or lies written down to sell books. There is no author on the cover (or elsewhere). I've read a lot of ww2 history and I've never heard of it. There's a one minute video on UA-cam to sell the book but the comments are turned off (suspicious). We don't know if it's a reputable source because there is no source named. I'll pass...

      It was, but he expected to win in the east very quickly and not have to fight on two major fronts as it turned out from mid 1944 onwards. Prior to launching the invasion in the east in 1941 he was quoted (I believe) as saying 'we only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down' in regards to how easy he thought it would be to finish off the Soviet Union.

He started his anti-Jewish purge from the moment he took the power in 1929, by effectively marginalized the powerful jews such as Zinoviev and Kamenev and forced Trotsky into exile ! In private meetings with his NKVD henchmen he stated later one that too many "Yids" are in position of power in the Soviet Union ( not Russia ) .

      THE FORGOTTEN GENOCIDE OF AFRICA:
      Cecil Rhode and Leopold II combined KILLED millions of Africans and PILLAGE Africa for exploitation of land, labor, and mineral resources through cruel and brutal enslavement of Africans, colonialism and evil form of capitalism. The actrocities of these two devils in human form made Hitler's actrocities look like child's play. Leopold KILL almost half of the population of Congo to enrich himself, family members, close friends, and Belgium. Just like Leopold, Cecil Rhode was a European imperialistic capitalist who committed the same actrocities. Belgium, Britain, Portugal, United States, France, Germany and Spain never paid for the ACTROCITIES they committed in Africa against Africans. Every African country SHOULD demand reparation for the crimes they committed and STOP trading with them and trade good and services within the walls of the African continent that they established. Every African country MUST build a very strong alliance with their neighboring countries and other in the far south, west, east od north of it's border and build strong strategic trading deals to benefit Africans. All African countries should negotiate deals with countries in other continents as a BLOCK consisting of representatives from each country to negotiate the best deal for Africa and Africans.
      Any country that wants our resources MUST establish themselves in Africa and build industries and manufacturing plants in the countries they are extracting these minerals from. Given what our great grand parents went through as slaves and what we are going through now, we reject the current constitutional order imposed on us to allow for these imperialist countries to continue to exploit our resources without benefiting and improving the livelihoods of Africans. We need leaders of African countries to take a firm stance that there is a new day and it's not going to be business as usual as Africans are fed up with their standards of living while countries exploiting us are prospering from our resources.

      Most stupidity comes from dogma. In this instance, it was racist dogma. In other cases, it can be political, religious, whatever. Whenever we refuse to subject an area of our lives to scrutiny, we, too, can become idiots. Of course, no one's perfect, but it's something to strive toward.
      Unfortunately, most people don't even try to live the examined life. In a lot of cases, they're simply too busy trying to survive. Examining one's beliefs is scary and exhausting. If a person changes his or her mind on an important topic, there's a good chance he or she will be ostracized from the community, so it's much easier and safer to rely on old dogmatic beliefs. This makes the world a dangerous place. If people _could_ let go of dogma, the world would be a better place. If that happened, they wouldn't _need_ dogma in order to function in the world. I hate catch-22's.

      The footage and pictures should never ever be lost so we may be reminded again and again. Without recorded visual history, humankind makes the same mistakes, over....and over...and over again.

No way, no how could Russia get to Berlin today with our air force bombing all their supply lines from the Urals. In fact, the only reason the USSR drove the Germans out in WW2 was because we supplied them, and we had all the Luftwaffe in Germany protecting the homeland from the UK, Canada and the USA bombing. Likewise, that is too large a country to occupy for us and there is really nothing of value to us there.

      THE FORGOTTEN GENOCIDE OF AFRICA:
      Cecil Rhode and Leopold II combined KILLED millions of Africans and PILLAGE Africa for exploitation of land, labor, and mineral resources through cruel and brutal enslavement of Africans, colonialism and evil form of capitalism. The actrocities of these two devils in human form made Hitler's actrocities look like child's play. Leopold KILL almost half of the population of Congo to enrich himself, family members, close friends, and Belgium. Just like Leopold, Cecil Rhode was a European imperialistic capitalist who committed the same actrocities. Belgium, Britain, Portugal, United States, France, Germany and Spain never paid for the ACTROCITIES they committed in Africa against Africans. Every African country SHOULD demand reparation for the crimes they committed and STOP trading with them and trade good and services within the walls of the African continent that they established. Every African country MUST build a very strong alliance with their neighboring countries and other in the far south, west, east od north of it's border and build strong strategic trading deals to benefit Africans. All African countries should negotiate deals with countries in other continents as a BLOCK consisting of representatives from each country to negotiate the best deal for Africa and Africans.
      Any country that wants our resources MUST establish themselves in Africa and build industries and manufacturing plants in the countries they are extracting these minerals from. Given what our great grand parents went through as slaves and what we are going through now, we reject the current constitutional order imposed on us to allow for these imperialist countries to continue to exploit our resources without benefiting and improving the livelihoods of Africans. We need leaders of African countries to take a firm stance that there is a new day and it's not going to be business as usual as Africans are fed up with their standards of living while countries exploiting us are prospering from our resources.

    Mistake one was invading Poland. He already had nearly all of Central Europe by force of threats. Mistake two was not invading Britain immediately after France fell. There was no complete plan to invade Britain simply because the French defeat occurred too rapidly. Mistake three was invading the USSR while Britain was still in the fight, and the next mistake was waiting too late in the year to invade Russia. Finally, declaring war on the U.S. while he was already fighting a two-front war on the Continent.

      No, he did try to invade Britain. But before any boats could be launched, the Germans needed air superiority over the channel. The Luftwaffe failed to achieve air superiority and was instead defeated by the RAF in the Battle of Britain. I would argue his mistake was attempting to attack Britain at all. The attack resulted in heavy losses for the Luftwaffe, both in planes and in trained pilots, which meant they were much weaker when they attacked the USSR.
      Invasion of USSR might have went better if they had a full strength Luftwaffe. Plus the invasion might have worked if they would have captured Moscow when they had the chance and not try to capture Stalingrad which wasn't a primary target.

      You're absolutely right, a peaceful planet is unimaginable. I tell you why! A peaceful planet is a planet without life. Please, let me explain!
      This world as it is mirrors us exactly. There's nothing in man's world that doesn't belong there. From a scientific point of view, violence is a good thing. Every species on planet Earth has its place in the food chain. We have evolved from social predators. Step by step through millenniums , evolution sharpened the senses of those who became us. Because where does evolution take the fastest way from A to B and project intelligence, if not through the hunt. Language, strategies, the ability to outsmart the prey! I don't say that evolution aims at intelligence. No, it's just the sum of how it goes. It's the natural selection. And evolution is a universal law. Wherever there's life in the Universe, there's also evolution. Species feed on each other, it can't be another way. A planet with peaceful herbivores would lack the evolutionary drive and could never come into existence. Nature is not a pretty place, but we had the potential of the extreme violence that saved us and made us capable to rise above the food chain. The truth is that without that violence, we would not be around. We would have been extinct, just like we exterminated entire species and keep on doing so. We are wired that way. We can dream and fantasize, but reality will always call us back. These endless wars are who we are and the violence is the measure of our success. But like I said, evolution has no particular plan or destination. It's just genes passed on from generation to generation. We carry most likely our downfall as a species with us. It's in our dna, sort of. Man's success is a Pyrrhus victory. It will cost us everything, because in the evolutionary way, success means to destroy everything around. We have a chance only if we learn to control the violence we are capable of. The odds are however stacked against us. Mankind can unite only if it has a common enemy. If we were attacked from space, the violence within could be directed away from ourselves. I don't say that I believe that intelligent lifeforms are visiting us, but I do understand why our armed forces are interested in these phenomena and wary of their eventual existence. The only drive that would make intelligent life cover the distances is the evolutionary one and we know what that means. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but we can for sure kiss the dream of a peaceful E.T goodbye!

Occasionally, (but only during an "all-clear") he'd (valiantly) emerge to demand that the Allies liberate his country more rapidly so that he could (gallantly) get on with fulfilling his political ambitions.
