The USSR Didn’t Save the World from Hitler, It Allied w/Hitler
The left-wing historical revisionism of WW2 needs to go away
Ishaan Tharoor is an embarrassment to the Washington Post and he continues his proud tradition of spewing nonsense with some historical WW2 revisionism.
For once it’s not about how the Nazis were the good guys, it’s about how their allies, the Communists, were the good guys.
“Don’t forget how the Soviet Union saved the world from Hitler,” Ishaan bleats.
Perhaps we instead shouldn’t forget that the USSR gave the world Hitler by allying with the Nazis to carve up Europe (especially Poland for the fourth time! Admin.). Stalin only fought back once Hitler had invaded the USSR. Stalin was so committed to his alliance with the Nazis that he refused to believe his own intelligence people when they told him that an attack had been planned.
The left-wing historical revisionism of WW2 is familiar. It lists how many Russians died in the war. It fails to address the fact that they died because
1. Their government allied with the Nazis
2. Their government was controlled by radical leftists who purged the military leadership preventing a viable response
3. Their government’s idea of ‘fighting’ was marching hundreds of thousands of men, some unarmed, directly at the enemy while Communist thugs carrying better weapons marched behind them and shot anyone who tried to flee.
Those thugs also had bad habits, such as carrying out massacres of their own soldiers for assorted political reasons. That and burying alive officers who didn’t perform up to the insane expectations of a war being run by a murderous moron in Moscow who, according to Khrushchev, planned out battles using a globe. We’re talking about Uncle Joe Stalin, the favorite figure of the left at the time.
The Red Army was “the main engine of Nazism’s destruction,” writes British historian and journalist Max Hastings in “Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945.” The Soviet Union paid the harshest price: though the numbers are not exact, an estimated 26 million Soviet citizens died during World War II, including as many as 11 million soldiers. At the same time, the Germans suffered three-quarters of their wartime losses fighting the Red Army.
“It was the Western Allies’ extreme good fortune that the Russians, and not themselves, paid almost the entire ‘butcher’s bill’ for [defeating Nazi Germany], accepting 95 per cent of the military casualties of the three major powers of the Grand Alliance,” writes Hastings.
It wasn’t “good fortune”.
If the USSR had not tried to carve up Eastern Europe, if its brilliant leader hadn’t decided that any competent general threatened him, and if his idea of military strategy or building a highway didn’t involve senselessly killing huge numbers of people, those casualties would not have existed. These casualties don’t prove that the USSR was noble or self-sacrificing. No more than Pol Pot’s murders.
There was no need for these casualties to be taken and they did nothing to help the overall war effort. The butcher’s bill here was Stalin’s.
The war was not won by throwing unarmed men at Nazi forces. Only historical revisionists will claim that.
“The Holocaust overshadows German plans that envisioned even more killing. Hitler wanted not only to eradicate the Jews; he wanted also to destroy Poland and the Soviet Union as states, exterminate their ruling classes, and kill tens of millions of Slavs,” writes historian Timothy Snyder in “Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin.”
True. Of course the USSR had similar plans. Stalin planned to wipe out the Jews and other peoples and populations that interfered with his plans.
The USSR announced with its conquest of Poland that it had ceased to exist. Both sides, the USSR and Nazi Germany, were brutal genocidal states.
By 1943, the Soviet Union had already lost some 5 million soldiers and two-thirds of its industrial capacity to the Nazi advance. That it was yet able to turn back the German invasion is testament to the courage of the Soviet war effort.
It’s not courage. Slaves driven to do something at gunpoint, starving and brutalized are not courageous.
Does Ishaan view North Korea as courageous?
The USSR under Stalin was no better.
