I have added a link to the Voice of Reason radio broadcast in the websites section. The Voice of Reason (VOR) offers perspectives on history and contemporary politics from a revisionist and racially aware point of view. Its programs are informative and interesting.In this VOR broadcast, Mark Weber discusses the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
From August 1939, when Germany was compelled to conclude a Non-Aggression Treaty with the Soviet Union in part to avert a war with Britain by deterring her, until June 1941, when the German campaign in the Soviet Union began, the Soviet Union doubled its number of troops, divisions, guns and mortars, and tripled its number of aircraft.(1)
Russian former intelligence analyst Viktor Suvorov has proposed that the Soviets did this as a prelude to a strike against Europe. This is his "Icebreaker thesis", that the Soviets sought to weaken Europe by encouraging war among its nations, in order to till the soil for a future Soviet invasion and effect Communist domination of most of Europe.
When Germany began its campaign against the Soviet Union, called Operation Barbarossa, the Soviets were caught completely by surprise. If the Soviet military buildup was strictly for defensive purposes, this should not have been the case.
Therefore, if the Soviet Union's buildup was not intended for defense, then it was intended for offensive military operations. This is precisely Suvorov's argument. And if valid, then Weber rightly suggests that our understanding of the causes and conduct of World War II deserves to be reconsidered. The caricature of Hitler as as a reckless adventurist bent on domination of the world by force should be abandoned.(2)
