Hitler needed oil and other raw materials badly for the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe's war effort and Stalin needed a market to sell these things at a good price, which Germany was willing to pay. And yes, Stalin shipped war materials to Hitler literally until June of 1941 when Hitler attacked him in a total surprise attack that caught the Soviets completely off guard. <br /><br />There are literally tons of sources on this, but two well known ones I can think of offhand are Churchill's six volume history of World War II and William L. Shirer's 'Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich.' <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi%E2%80%93Soviet_economic_relations_(1934%E2%80%9341)#1939_economic_and_political_deals<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Soviet_Commercial_Agreement_(1940)<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Soviet_Commercial_Agreement_(1940)<br /><br />I find any conflating of Stalin and Putin to be very difficult to justify.<br /><br /> Stalin was a mass murderer who actually killed more people than Hitler did, although some of the U.S. press did a nice job of covering that up.The NY Times still has the Pulitzer prize their reporter Walter Duranty got for his laudatory reporting on the Soviet Union that never mentioned the purge, the show trials, the Terror or the Holodomor, the Ukrainian genocide of 1932-33. <br /><br />Putin, on the other hand, has never done anything remotely like that and is one of the few world leaders actually fighting jihad. The current difficulties with Russia can pretty much be laid at the feet of the Obama Regime.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-53882365742033587832016-08-25T16:08:03.859-07:002016-08-25T16:08:03.859-07:00This is very interesting.

The standard history on this that we are taught states that Russia and Germany had a "non aggression pact" or something like this which Hitler and Nazi Germany violated thus earning Nazi Germany the utter contempt it so richly deserved.<br /><br />A non aggression agreement is a far different matter than actively assisting someone. If I'm understanding you correctly, this means that the Soviet Union was actively assisting Nazi Germany in it's invasion of western European nations like Great Britain before it was invaded then it switched sides. Can you provide the documentation for this?<br /><br />This is important because the US is routinely vilified for its assistance for Nazi Germany prior to WWII usually by those who make common cause with Russia and Vladimir Putin and any US assistance to Nazi Germany was never official policy of the United States government but mostly business personnel trying to make money dealing with Hitler. Of course such is contemptible but pales in comparison to active assistance that is official government policy. It would appear that Russia has never had to answer for any of this. Again, documentation on this would be very interesting if you are willing to provide it. B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
