Its true and I have a quote where he says "Russia will be our India", - meaning what India was to the British Empire , Russia will be for us..

I have a question to you since you are in Russia and may know things better....-
Do you believe that the attack on the Soviet Union - Barbarossa was a pre-emptive strike? Was Stalin and the Red Army prepared for war and about to invade Germany? And if so - would they have any chance to defeat Germany plus her allies on the European mainland?

I have my own theories,
but I find it hard to believe that the Soviet soldier of 1939-1940 who could not even beat Finland could defeat a Powerful Germany that ruled the whole continent.

I think the only thing that could destroy the III Reich was a war with Russia in Russia.

He went to the East expecting a quick victory, with no winter clothing no nothing.. He ended up loosing 80% of his Soldiers.
(8 out of 10 Wehrmacht soldiers were killed in Russia or in fighting Russian soldiers) and then loosing the war.

Sweden, France and now Germany have destroyed themselves as world power by invading Russia.
