even
if you are paranoid, this doesn't mean that you are NOT being
followed.
Hitler's
attack on Russia was a pre-emptive strike. Josef Stalin had planned
an attack in the West, as a first step for spreading communism in
Europe, with military means.
His
armies were ready. Thousands of tanks an warplanes have been build
and secretly moved to Western-Russia.
At
that moment the development of the European war as an upstart for
World War 2, was unclear. Russia had invaded the Eastern Polish
provinces after the Nazis defeating Poland. France and England
declared war on Nazi-Germany, as protectors of Polish peace and
soverenity. In fact, they should have declared war on the
Soviet-Union, but they did not.
Stalins
attack on Hitler would even make them allies. Nazi-Germany was the
only military force, blocking the way of the Red Army.
Hitler
had warned for a situation like this, in which Germany would have to
fight a war on two seperate fronts. Like the situation in World War
One.
The
only chance Hitler had was to attack Russia by surprise.
The
success of the German forces was due to the fact, that the Red Army
was ready to attack. The Nazi-tanks simply broke through
defense-lines and encircled whole Soviet armies. They took millions
of prisoners of war.
On
the other hand, organising Operation Barbarossa is an immense
undertaking. The attack took the preparation of millions of soldiers,
more than 3000 tanks and as many warplanes. The divisions had to be
supplied with spare-parts, transport (horses or cars), food,
munition, clothing and of course reserves, to fill up the ranks. The
plan most have been worked on for years. Allied forces, like Italy,
Bulgaria and Romenia, took part in the Operation Barbarossa. A
desperate Nazi-attack, that almost succeeded.
