re: #222 Bulworth

If I was Stalin* I’d have been pretty damn pissed about the failure of the Allies to establish a wide-scale second front before D-Day during which Russia bore the brunt of the Nazi offensive. Says a lot about the Nazi military build up during the ‘30’s and it’s abilities that it could more or less hold the West at bay for three years while also launching a full-scale invasion of Russia.

*Not that I feel sorry for Stalin exactly…he signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and was a butcher in his own right, etc. But the Russian people suffered greatly (a huge understatement).

Russia was supposed to be the pearl in Hitler’s Third Reich oyster. If he had conquered Russia, imagine what the rest of the war might have been like—and the future.
