Serious question, why did Hitler invade the Soviet Union even

Serious question, why did Icarus flew so close to the sun even though Daedelus told him that sun will melt the wax on his wings? What was his motivation if not escaping with his life?

>>2196109
Because Hitler wasn't the formidable genius that certain people on 4chan believe he was.

Think of him as a dogmatic, autistic (but incredibily charismatic) retard who got lucky several times and it all makes sense.

>>2196109
Read Victor Suvorov books, its all there.

>>2196109
I have heard differing views that the Soviet Union was going to invade Germany anyway. Is this true? It seems like a good idea while Germany was focused west.

>>2196527
>Is this true? It seems like a good idea while Germany was focused west.


You'd think then, they'd invade when Germany was actually occupied west in 1940, and had some 85% of the Heer placed in or along the borders of the Low Countries.

>>2196533
Weren't the Soviets going through massive industrialization and they were trying to build up their army? I mean they couldn't really defeat Finland. My assumption was that Stalin was going to do it, but he needed another year or so.

>>2196238
>autistic (but incredibily charismatic) retard
These words don't mean what you think they do.

>>2196109

Preemptive attack.

Stalin was dumbfounded when Hitler invaded. Guy spent like 3 days bawling in his room.

>>2196109
He wanted to kill communism.

>>2196527
Stalin's plan was to let the western "democracies" fight themselves to death in a war of attrition and strike while they were weak. That plan flew to shit when France fell.

>>2196617

The Soviets revealed their strategy in the film about the Teutonic Order invading Russia.

Their slogan was, 'LET THE WEDGE SET IN'

The Soviets' strategy was to have a huge counter attack, they prepared the West by destroying most of it preceding the war.

Hitler's tactics were influenced by this, that is, the Germans tried to feign their momentum toward Moscow, they tried to counter the Russian pincer by attacking the flanks (North and Ukraine).

>>2196109
Art thou jesting?
Conquering the USSR would've made Germany self-sulficient in natural rescources like oil, coal, natural gas and metal. It would've effectively allowed Germany to fight the allies for years.
It would've also realised some of the nazi's greatest ideological goals:
1) The destruction of the only communist power in the world
2) The immense landmass that would've allowed Hitler to enact lebensraum.

>>2196109
Because the whole point of National Socialism was expanding the Aryan domain. The reason for invading the Soviet Union was gaining Lebensraum for a rapidly expanding Aryan population. With the exception of Siberian Russians, slavs were considered untermensch. So their land was to be incorporated into the German Reich.

>>2196548

That wasn't due to industrialisation problems.

>>2196109
The whole war was about preventing the spread of Communism into Germany (and by extent the terrorities around her). Everything, the interment of political prisoners, including the internment of the Jews (85-95℅ of the German communist party was Jewish, there was a clear association). Now you must understand that Communism at the time was a globalist ideology, one that stated their ideology of proletariats conquering their masters, would rule the world. It was all about spreading, and spreading it certainly did, even into Asia and South America.

Even before the war there was a massive red scare throughout Europe, that the Soviets were going to come down, sweep across Europe and occupy it under a Communist regime. During the war, despite the treaty, the Soviets were stacking troops and armor along the border of Europe. Hitler was advised of this and decided on a preemptive strike.

There must have been some legitimacy to the red scare, because what happened during and after the war? The Soviets swept down, conquered and occupied half of Europe under a Communist regime... Only stopped by the allies on the West half of Europe, which is what caused the Cold War (now you may have more speculation as to why the US entered the war in the first place, maybe they knew of the Soviet's plans as well and wanted to stop their spread into the rest of Europe).

The preemptive strike is what made Hitler seem the aggressor, but that was sort of his signature move. He seemed the aggressor against Poland as well even though that was about retaking German lands that were taken from Germany after WW1. His whole thing was strike before being struck and strike damn hard, the blitzkrieg, and it worked bretty gud I suppose until it was tried against the Soviets...

>The whole war was about preventing the spread of Communism into Germany

Oh and due to revisionist history you may not know this. After the war the poor Jews made it seem like it was all about them and muh racism. Hitler actually was a German supremacist so that did play a role, but that's not uncommon. Most nationalities today think that their nation is the best, it's just strange to us in the West because we've been conditioned to hate ourselves. Although nationalism played a role, it wasn't the primary factor. Most of the rhetoric and propaganda for Germans to join the effort was anti-communist propaganda. The anti-jewish anti-degeneracy rhetoric was just icing on the cake, and served to promote a more healthy, strong Germany after the effort was over.

I sound like a sympathizer but trust me I'm not. I'm an American and love America (big surprise, guess I'm a supremacist) and I would have gone to war against Germany even if it meant laying down my life. What was done to the political prisoners in Germany, though I don't believe in holocaust-esque revisionist history, was against human dignity and needed to be stopped. However, I don't see why it's considered the biggest deal ever. It's not the worst thing to happen in human history. It's a very gray area, where I suppose some justification can be found. Whereas with the Mongol expansion campaigns they just genocided entire people because they liked the way a pile of skulls looked... That was done out of pure evil and clear Mongol supremacy, Germany's actions during WW2 were not nearly as bad. There are other examples as well, yet why is no one claiming the Assyrians should pay for what they did? Where are the lesson plans teaching people about the genocides committed by the Ottomans? The genocides committed by the Soviets, and other communist regimes such as the Cambodians? Much higher death tolls but much less attention in the media and in universities...

You're a victim of lack of education. And comparing Mongols or Assyrians with Germans is pretty stupid. We are talking about completely different world. 20th century was a century of democratic countries, international law and Geneva convention. Trying to exterminate an entire ethnicity and enslave or kill millions of people in 20th century was rightfully seen as something incredibly evil.

>Jews
What about Lebensraum and the enslavement of Slavs? You know, Jews weren't the only victims of that war.

>>2196592
There's different types of charisma. An autist isn't gonna be smooth and suave and witty. But he very well can be passionate, forceful, aggressive and strong, all the things that people liked in Hitler's speech.

wew lad

>>2197328
Jews refuse to integrate, they wilfully remain a subculture and try to subvert the main culture of their host nations. They've been expelled from 109 nations since 250 AD for this reason, apparently they do it quite often.

>>2197337
It's true, there are plenty of readings I could cite but in the past revisionism acceptors immediately write them off. But that doesn't justify the fact that they used it as a means of association. Just because nearly the entire Communist party is Jewish doesn't mean every Jew is Communist.

It makes sense however that they supported Communism. It goes along with the idea explained in the Talmud of Jewish supremacy over other races. They enter a nation, take over banking establishments, then attempt to dominate through that. Communism streamlines that effort, they simply set themselves as the heads of the party initially, round up some useful idiots with propaganda literature, use them to seize the means of production and put the party in control of everything, then bam you're in control of everything. You know why they say "real communism/Marxism has never been tried?" It wasn't meant to succeed as written, it's so far only been used for power seeking groups, like the Jews, to seize control.

Know your history or you're doomed to repeat it. At this rate we're doomed to let the Jews succeed in their plot once again.

>>2197358
I'm trying to justify ancient morals in modern society actually.

Is there really anything wrong with seizing control of your nation through violent (perhaps unethical by modern standards) means when you have a clear foreign occupation?

>>2196940
>yet why is no one claiming the Assyrians should pay for what they did? Where are the lesson plans teaching people about the genocides committed by the Ottomans? The genocides committed by the Soviets, and other communist regimes such as the Cambodians?

Because we fought a war against Nazi Germany seventy years ago and not against the USSR, the Assyrians, or the Ottomans.

That's it.

>>2197380
I'd love to see one shred of evidence that Lenin, Trotsky, Marx, Luxemburg, Zinoviev, et. al didn't actually believe in Marxism but were just using it as a front to achieve Jewish control of the world, because I still haven't no matter how often I see it claimed. It'd be especially odd considering Judaism was persecuted just like Islam and Christianity under Communist regimes.

>>2197396
We didn't fight the Cambodians?

I think it has more to do with rhe occupation that affected them, now affecting us. There are a concerning amount of Jews in high places throughout universities and media outlets. If there were an attempt to create a propaganda machine, those would be the first places to seize.

>>2197404
>Judaism was persecuted just like Islam and Christianity under Communist regimes
Toward the end, Communism fell shortly after Jews began being persecuted.

And they were persecuted because the people wised up. For example in Ukraine they were harassed for having been found responsible for the Holodomor genocide of Ukrainians.

>>2197380

>>2197394

Depends on how violently and what are you going to do with the nation.

>We didn't fight the Communists?

The Cold War had more lasting and recent effects than WW2, yet there are far less movies about the perils caused by the spread of Communism which spanned multiple decades, compared to the speed of Nazism which lasted 5 years. The death toll is also significantly higher. Why are communists not demonized to the extent that nazis are?

>>2196109
Germany needed oil, metal and many other resources to keep on fighting. The Caucasus region had all that. Besides Hitler believed that war with the USSR was inevitable anyways so why not attack them by surprise and take the region they needed to survive.

>>2197189
You're retarted

>>2197429
Germans are much easier to demonize, since they did their shit in Europe and their ideology is inherently against both Christian and modern European morals therefore evil.

Communists did not commited atrocities against people of western Europe neither there was such an interesting war against them.

You are forgetting that by the Barbarossa, Nazis controlled pretty much whole Europe. No way was Russia going to outproduce that.

Not the mention Russians suck on the offensive.

>>2197462
Exactly, the Soviets just used the war as a means to spread their borders. An attack on Europe was imminent.

>>2197459
It's getting ridiculous at this point. How can they not see the obvious?

What's more realistic, that I'm getting my information from a secret cabal of Nazis still surviving in Antarctica or that they're getting their information from Jews that actually exist in high places in media, lobbying groups, and the university system. I don't see any Nazis occupying those positions but I sure do see a lot of Jews, spreading a lot of influence to the point where you can't speculate on an Inuit igloo carving imageboard without tons of shabbos goyim jumping on you as if they were getting paid .75 cents per post to do it.

This isn't about racism or defending the actions of the Nazis, something fucky is going on and has been going on for centuries.

And as soon as you compare hitler to Pol pot or Mao they shift the goalpost to what Germany did to a 70,000 political prisoners compared to Mao who killed so many of his own people they literally lost count the Chinese government was heavily occupied by Jews at the time as well.

>>2197541
Before war
>Guys the Soviets are coming to conquer and enslave half of Europe!!!
After war
>The Soviets conquered and enslaved half of Europe.

I see where you can claim they had no immediate plans for expansion, because we're not sure how much of a role the war played in their decision, but there's no denying Communism was a globalist ideology (they explicitly wanted to spread it to the entire world) and I think that gives great legitimately to the red scare.

>>2197568
Fuck off leaf

>>2197571
It had little to do with Communism, it was German teritorial expansion and ethnic cleansing of Slavs. Even Stalin replaced his propaganda with patriotic imagery.

He states clearly that Soviet tank squadrons were stacking along the border of Europe preparing for an invasion.

https://youtu.be/pbUz2RemarI

Now can you fuck off, you're clearly revisionists. What the fuck shill university did you get your facts from? Looking forward to seeing how you try to counter clear video evidence.

The Jews are said to be "the tribe that runs the West". But if you are going to go that far, why stop there? Why not say that they also run the East? At which point they might as well run the North and the South too, while they are at it, or the entire solar system and galaxy, as they'd certainly be said to do if those making the accusations had ever heard of astronomy and astrophysics. And if you get that far it's only a short step further to say the Jews run the universe itself, which would be tantamount to regarding Jews as gods, as a race of divine beings! But the funniest thing of all in this absurd business, is that the central assumption in the conspiracy theorists' "accusations" is that claiming someone is powerful is an insult. That's how you realize the kind of resentful, vindictive scum you are dealing with, when you hear of such absurd bleatings.

Why do subhumans believe that claiming that someone is powerful is an insult? Because hatred of power — which is to say reaction to it — is the very essence of the existence of subhumans. The finger-pointing followed by the damning cry of "Power!" is their call to arms: the rallying cry that gathers together all the subhumans, like the cry of "Brains!" does to zombies in zombie apocalypse movies, and sets them loose on the destruction of whatever strong, healthy and proud human or group of humans has lately enraged them and provoked their fury. In our times, this may be the rich (the "capitalists"), the beautiful, the intelligent, the Americans or the Jews: any human group whatever that has turned out well, that has managed to distinguish itself and achieve something. And that is how, through their near-automatic, almost-instinctive opposition, the subhumans make it harder for those successful groups of people to become even more successful. Subhumans, in other words, as far as our planet is concerned, are the sentient component of ressentiment/reaction/reversibility.

Therefore Soviet tanks were stacked preparing for invasion? Nice thinking.

>U fukin racist brah? You can replace every "Jew" with de white man argument blacks make.
Try to think clearly. If you substituted "White" for "Jew" in my post you would be stating the obvious/mainstream consensus, that Whites run the West.

>So it's OK for Jews to do what they do because they're the strongest, then it must've been OK for the Nazis to do what they did as well. A system where the strongest lead, rather than the most popular ideology, is called fascism.
Again think with clarity instead of retardation: "popular ideology", i.e. democracy, is the exact same thing, except where "the strongest" are those with the greatest numbers.

What does it say about the sheer inadequacy of Nazi philosophy that they were able to be steam-rolled by less "fascist" ideologies? So fuck your notions of Holocaust 2, globalism won't allow it. Globalism tolerates such fantasies, it keeps the retards content, but it won't allow them to become reality.

It's part of the richness and greatness of Western civilization that it can tolerate the existence of so many millions of losers and retards, while still forging full steam ahead with its goal without skipping a single beat. The degenerates call this steamroller effect of our culture — the marginalization of all groups not contributing to our culture's goal, and their reduction to clown- and freak-show status by our media — "social alienation", "materialism", "globalization", "desensitization", or any number of other nasty names; while between us it is known as simply "power".)

Pretty much well, everything. I'd recommend reading Wages of Destruction, freely available online. If you are really interested in what resources I can quote passages from the book for you.

>>2197541
The claim made was
"Exactly, the Soviets just used the war as a means to spread their borders. An attack on Europe was imminent."
An attack on Europe was not imminent, as the Soviets, outside of some neo-nazi fan fiction and propaganda, did not have plans for an attack into Europe in the immediate future of 1941, and this is what I have attempted to counter. Like any ideology, the Soviets were interested in spreading their own; this did not involve plans for an attack into Europe that was then pre-empted by a German counter-attack as Nazi propaganda sometimes likes to claim.

>>2197571

You can't look at things rationally. Hitler didn't have a rational goal. If he did, he never would have started WW2 in the first place. His advisors and economists were against it, with many correctly pointing out that that Germany was set to become a continental hegemon if they stayed on the peaceful path. Fuck, that's close to happening today despite this Germany being reduced to rubble and then partitioned for 45 years.

Jesus Christ people. Stalin signed a pact with Hitler because he had approached the British and been turned down cold turkey. He considered Hitler a great ally because he was terrified of the West invading Russia to destroy Communism.
He didn't like Fascism, but he was downright scared of Democracy.

The Germans invaded Russia not because they were afraid Russia would invade them, but rather because analysts said 1941 was the last year Germany would have a chance to actually defeat Russia as Stalin was ramping up industrialization and modernization. Hitler's whole end game was destroying Bolshevism and securing Lebensraum. Hitler never wanted war with the West, he thought they were bluffing when they said they'd declare war if he invaded Poland.

He wrote a fucking book about how the Bolsheviks need to be destroyed and how he wanted to be the one to do it, and yet Naziboos still want to say Hitler was a gud boy only acting in self defense.

You would figure if they were going to invade, it would be in 1940, when the USSR had more tanks than everyone else on Earth combined and the Germans had 80% of their forces fighting France+Britain.

his military advisers were absolutely stoked for an invasion of russia

the logisticians were less excited but they got ignored because every german military mind knew russia would collapse quickly, making the logistical concerns irrelevant

>the ussr wasn't destroyed
is this the greatest mistake of the 20th century?

>Jews refuse to integrate, they wilfully remain a subculture and try to subvert the main culture of their host nations.
100,000 German Jews fought for Germany in World War I making them the largest ethnic minority group to fight on behalf of their country.
12,000 of these soldiers died for Germany and 18,000 German-Jewish soldiers received the Iron Cross during the war.

Report goes to Stalin from his Military Intelligence telling that Germany is going to invade and that we should prepare. To which Stalin scribbles on the report "You can tell your source to go fuck his mother, he is not a source but a disinformant"

Yes, they are all a hivemind, able to communicate telepathically with each other.

Nazis were almost as spooked as Islamic fundamentalists

The upper leadership was oftentimes incapable of pursuing rational strategy if it contradicted their Aryan ideals

>>2196109
Because Stalin had already lined up the largest army in the history of the world. Without Barbarossa, Stalin would have conquered anything from Moscow to Madrid. We owe Hitler for this one.

>>2196109
Because Stalin would have attacked them anyway. Realistically his only choice was to wait for the attack or strike first.

>>2196217
Because he was an adgy rebel teenager.

Historic evidence exists that Stalin was planning an offensive campaign against Germany.
>Historians have debated whether Stalin was planning an invasion of German territory in the summer of 1941. The debate began in the late 1980s when Viktor Suvorov published a journal article and later the book Icebreaker in which he stated that Stalin had seen the outbreak of war in western Europe as an opportunity to spread communist revolutions throughout the continent, and that the Soviet military was being deployed for an imminent attack at the time of the German invasion.[135]

Yet evidence to the contrary is overwhelming.

Again, Rezun's thesis is pure cherypicking. Even author himself acknowledges that.

stalin seems pretty based desu

>"ablobloblo im not nazi but hitler did nothing wrong think about mongols, assyrians and lizard alien jews"
The whole fucking point is that while there might be thousand times worse crimes in someones head, is that whole morality and motive goes directly against 2500 years of our philosophical evolution.
You cant compare caveman butchering and eating dog with modern western human doing it.

Unssucesful attempt not to sound like a neonazi.

would the full power of the german army not have been able to fend off a soviet invasion if barbarosa didn't happen?

Wasn't the Soviet Union going to invade them anyway?

>>2201019
Nope, definitly not more that they were going to invade west Germany during CW.

In 1941 the Soviet Union wasn't seen as the super power it became later in the war. Hitler believed the Soviet Union had a weak and incompetent military based on the out come of the winter war. Germany also had extremely limited knowledge on the strength of the Soviet unions military. Itwas believed by the Germans that the USSR could only muster 80ish infantry divisions while by the end of the war the ussr mustered 300ish. It was also believed that the Soviet Union was very politically unstable and an invasion will cause the government to collapse. Hitler said in regard to the invasion of the ussr "you only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down". Even Churchill believed that the ussr would only last a few weeks. After Germany defeated one of the strongest countries in Europe (France) in just six weeks the Soviet Union seemed like small potatoes.The general consensus in Europe was that the Soviet Union was a weak backwards country that didn't stand a chance to the German war machine.

>>2201058
Now for Hitler's motivations for invading the ussr. First, Hitler really didn't like communism. He thought it threatened Germany and eventually the Soviet Union would invade(I personally don't believe Stalin ever wanted a war with Germany but that topic is still up for debate). Hitler also wanted Russian land for "living space" for German people. Russia also had a lot of recourses that the Germans needed to end the war with the British.
