Of course books have been written, but they weren’t available ; may-be leaders of communists parties in western countries knew about what was going on, but they didn’t tell to their members ; it’s evident for the french communists, only when Soljenitsyne managed to edit his book, that the people awaked, first the intellectuals, and the stars (Simone Signoret & Yves Montant, Picasso…)

and you’re lucky if you manage to know before them !

2nd point, did I say something else ?

3rd point , explain

4th, am I ?

5th, give me one advanced western industriallised coutry name that hadn’t done that ?

Yes. And the biggest injustice of all is that Bubba Adolf hasn’t gotten the Nobel Peace Prize yet.

First of all, Thpose who really cared had at least some idea of the magnitude of communist crimes (they began with Lenin, you know) through some books written by refugees and of the opressive nature of the regime through people who had vsited Moscow and despite Inturist’s best efforts had managed to perceive a glimpse of the reality. Of course western communist parties, fellow travelers and useful idiots had often managed to silence ththose voices telling the truh

Second of all: if Britan hadn’t been at war with Germany it is not sure that Churchill would have been so eager to help Soviet Union.

Third of all: In case you haven’t noticed in 1941, the United States wasn’t selling but “lending” weapons to the countries fighting Nazism and the in 1940 it had been selling weaponry through the Cash and Carry Act, who effectively banned the side havuing teh weakest Navy from buying American weapons.

Fourth of all: What you are faulting America and Truman for, was exactly what France has done after 1958: telling there was no less bad guy and selling anything (its sould included) to the hifghest bidder. That was the basis of gaullist policy.

Stalin described the situation in the 6 November 1942. The Battle of Stalingrad is in full swing. “How to explain that this year the Germans were still able to maintain its leadership of military operations and reap serious tactical success on our forehead? The Germans and their allies were able to gather all their reserves available for hire on the Eastern front. This was possible because there was no second front in Europe. In September, the 256 German divisions, at least 179 were taken on our front. Include Romanian divisions 22, 14 Finland, 10 Italy, 13 Hungarian, Slovak and 1 Spanish 1 and you get a total of 240 divisions which are currently fighting on our front. By against, on the Libyan front, for the moment, only 4 and 11 German divisions in Italy fighting the British. “

The Germans up to 1942 were victorious, thus the American help to Stalin (ie Truman’s sentence) and I don’t think Stalin was considered as the good guy but an opportunity to make businesses with him. Only Churchill was aware of the stakes (De Gaulle probably too, but he hadn’t the opportunity to express it).

For Churchill it was evident that the Soviets were helping in the fight of the Nazis that still bombed UK. A defeat of Russia was the worst scenario for him, this is why he “harrassed” Roosvelt to get involved on this side of the pond too. In june 1942 churchill finally got a positive response from Roosvelt. the Storm operation was decided for november 1942

Also, when the soviets started to win battles, a counter western occupation of the land was an obligation too. A communist Europe wasn’t better seen than the nazi europe in his eyes. So he used the soviets, but without America he wouldn’t have been able to contain them.

It’s only at the Casablanca conference in january 1943 that Dday was decided for 194a

One can say that Europe was already partaged between, first by Stalin and Hitler, then between by Stalin and Roosvelt.

And someone said that the “germans only regret that they didn’t won the war”. Talking to them (some germans), I drew the conclusion that they’re as happy as you are for the defeat of the nazi regime. Who said that above probably doesn’t know that Hitler (an Austrian) damaged not only the people of the conquered countries, but also his beloved fellow germans. Only one race was supreme for him, the Aryan one (he, himself was not one). But, in his sick mind, all that was “imperfect” for the German image had to be clensed. Therefore he ordered the death of thousands of GERMAN jews, gipsies, mute, deaf, handicaped, etc…or their forced sterilization (so that the “imperfect” germans couldn’t breed), torture, sent to the concentration camps, made experiments upon..etc.. In the end, for Hitler’s madness, Germany suffered too.

Read again my comment above, #120 and understand that you can never state that, in this case, your country’s army was guilty of no crimes, because, by saying that, you probably believe that it’s soldiers are more than humans and you must be as mad as Hitler. Admit your guilt alongside with the others.

I await a response.

Sorry, I was referring to your post #90.
