  Germany, famously not part of Europe.

  Germany increased arms spending… well.

  Well what? The specter of Russia was a huge part of how Germany justified it’s fascism.

  Just like now.

    False.

    Germany built up it’s army in preparation for attacking the rest of Europe. Adults usually know this. Sorry if I have misjudged your age.

    Germany and Soviet Russia were allies and cooperated in the attack on Poland. This only fell apart when Hitler betrayed Stalin by invading the Soviet Union.

    It is said that in all his life, Stalin only ever trusted one person: Adolf Hitler. When German communists conscripted into the Wehrmacht defected in the night before the attack, to bring warning to the Soviet Union, Stalin had them shot. The last supply train carrying grain for Nazi Germany crossed the border less than 2 hours before the launch.

      That’s a dog’s breakfast of anti-communist slander you’ve gobbled up, Mr. Adultman. This is the garbage they teach in Germany? I guess that’s one of the consequences of Stalin stopping at Berlin.

        West Germany

        Oh wow. Looks like you fell into a time warp, comrade. No spoilers but it’ll all get better in 1953. But stay away from Moscow in March.

      It must be so easy being a right winger: you can just make up any old bullshit off the top of your head and apparently people will believe you.
