Hitler was a genocidal monster who led Germany to its worst military defeat in a War it should have won. His amateurish meddling on the Russian Front cost Germany World War II. Had Hitler listened to his generals in the battles of Moscow & Stalingrad, Germany would have defeated the USSR in World War II.
Germany had Stalin and the USSR on the ropes. They were ready to capitulate but Hitler made some key tactical mistakes & errors.
Hitler is arguably History's Greatest Failure.
Sorry Hitler fans. Have to tell it like it is.
Thanks for that CNN report, Joe.
Can we expect some more anti-Russia hysteria later?
Stalin was no better if that makes you feel better
@Aryan.
And the Allies (Britain/France) were at least partly responsible for WWII as well. The way the history of that time is written seems a bit too cute in order to fit a neat package for the victors.
You're right. I am no fan of Vladimir Putin. His War in the Ukraine is reminiscent of the USSR's invasion of the Baltic countries, Poland & Finland in 1939 for which they were never held accountable. The allies demanded that Germany be punished for its transgressions but not the USSR/Russia. Subsequently they let the delinquent child in the room get away with murder & today they are deploying their Old tricks in the Ukraine. Russia hasn't changed. They are the same rape apes as their grandfathers were in WWII.
For that reason Historians should take away their historical 'good guy' status in World War II. That history should be revised & rewritten. It's time to revoke Russia's free pass in that conflict.
