      Question from my son (7), why did the Nazis invade the USSR? I made some noises about Baku oilfields and Liebensraum but is it really just "cause Hitler wanted to"?

      Stalin found it very puzzling too. After all, he was giving the Nazis all the raw materials including oil they could possibly want much cheaper then it would’ve cost him to conquer and take them. So why invade?

      Isn't the correct answer that Hitler really believed his own shit about Judeo-Bolshevikism?

          The word “Slav” appears repeatedly, if I recall.

          This is the correct answer. For whatever reason people don't believe that man's own statements - he was very clear from the beginning of his political career what he wanted to do, even if it was horrible and insane.

          Stalin: The material conditions at the base will shape the superstructure of ideology, and there's no material reason for Hitler to invade . . . Hitler: lol wrong here's some tanks

          Well, yes. But to a Leninist like Stalin, Hitler was just a mask for the bourgeoisie, which just wanted lots of cheap raw materials, which he was giving. All þe "we need to replace slavs wiþ Aryans just as þe US 'replaced' Amerindians with white Americans was beyond his imagining

          & where did the T34-C come from, anyway? Clearly I need to procrastinate by spending today reading Glantz's _Barbarossa_...
