    5:37: Imagine all the commanders receiving their sealed orders with "TOP SECRET" in big red letters on them, and they are told not to open them until the attack. So the time comes, they all open their orders, and they just say "Go this way" with an arrow pointing towards the top

      @@hjalteariahjaltalin1568 Fair enough. Stalin was more of an asshole than Hitler tbh. Hitler was likely mentally ill (doesn't excuse his actions but it's something to think about), but Stalin actually believed this shit was the right thing.
      Then again, Churchill also had his own problems, as did FDR and Truman, but as far as everything else goes, FDR and Truman were probably among the cleanest allied leaders at the time. Well, except for the bombs, but I'm not factoring in Truman's Big Michael Bay because that's a discussion on all of its own.
      As far as communism goes, how many people out of around 100 million actually starved? I've always kinda wondered that. Of course there were people who died in Gulags (which were basically concentration camps that killed through work instead of pumping large amounts of pesticide into a sealed room) and then those whose last sight was a black Volga parking in front of their house and a man in a government suit stepping out.
