No one seriously thought Stalin would surrender. The thought was that he would be pushed far to the west into a purely defensive mode and not be able to have an impact with an offensive campaign on Germany's increasing military might and alliances with the eastern European forces that were joining to make an unstoppable axis of military power. The rush to support the Soviet forces was to hinder those alliances from growing in strength and bog down German forces in the east. It gave the British time to defend herself and prepare, along with the allies, to conquer Germany from the west. The Soviet forces in the east and the allied forces in the west gave mutual assistance to each other by dividing Germany's forces. The Soviets did not have the means needed to build an offensive army to take on the Germans. Without lend lease and all that aid from the US they would have been stuck fighting one Stalingrad after another with their main strengths being January and February and the western forest.And yet only eastern Europe, mostly the countries that sided with the NAZI's were colonized temporarily by the communist at great expense and sacrifice by the USSR. The stronger nations of western Europe stayed democratic and prospered as they became economic and military allies with America. The end result has been that even today, Russia is fighting at keeping little scraps of Europe like a few areas if Ujraube under it's influence, while even the eastern Euro countries have kicked them to the curb.7. "Europe suffers, with respect to its American cousin, from the debtor’s complex. It is clearly understood, at least in Western Europe, that without American help in 1917, and especially in 1944, it would have been purely and simply wiped off the map or permanently colonized by Soviet troops."
Pascal Bruckner in his bookThe Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism.
Did you get that?
"...permanently colonized by Soviet troops..."
Sound like Russia was about to surrender to Hitler, or be defeated by same?
And "...permanently colonized by Soviet troops..."
was exactly the plan that Stalin's ally, Roosevelt, had in mind:
Evidence can be seen in a document which Roosevelt's live-in Soviet spy, Harry Hopkins took with him to the Quebec conference in August, 1943, entitled "Russia's Position," quoted as follows in Robert Sherwood's book, "Roosevelt and Hopkins: An Intimate History,":
"Russia's post-war position in Europe will be a dominant one. With Germany crushed, there is no power in Europe to oppose her tremendous military forces."
Again: "...no power in Europe to oppose her tremendous military forces."
More proof that no one believed that Stalin would be defeated by Hitler: so much for 'Roosevelt's Alibi.'
Actually....what that means is that, with Germany crushed, communism could not be resisted.
Well, hot-air-boy.....look what I've reduced you to.
Obviously my thesis is undeniable: there was no danger of Stalin surrendering to Hitler.
You've served your purpose....
...you're dismissed.
I told you that you were dismissed.
Now you've simply dug a deeper hole for yourself.
Regularly, you Roosevelt apologists have claimed that Roosevelt had to give unlimited supplies, Lend Lease, etc., materials that should have gone to our own troops, to Stalin so that he would continue to battle Hitler.
Of course, it was a bogus alibi.....
...and your retreat was superfluous.
The last thing I ever need is your support for my thesis.
Be gone.
