Why did Hitler attack our country 80 years ago?

Did Adolf Shiklgruber himself understand what war is? The question seems strange: he also participated in the First World War. But what did he learn in the war?

When Adolf Hitler committed suicide in the 45th, a badge for the wound and iron cross of the 1st degree flashed on his military-sample tunic. He was proud of awards. In a political testament he wrote that since 1914 he was a “volunteer” and made a “contribution to the First World War imposed by the German Reich”.

In reality, for many years he evaded military service.

Excellentist

Adolf Hitler was born and raised in Austria. And in May 1913 he suddenly moved to Bavaria - only to avoid drafting into the army. He was afraid that he would be imprisoned. And the Austrian police searched for him to be prosecuted. In the end, I found - in Munich.

On January 18, 1914, Hitler was arrested for evasion of military service. He asked him to free him from service due to poor health. In February, the frail young man was recognized as worthless for the drill and auxiliary service in peacetime. But Hitler still had to put on a form when he was already 25 years old. The war broke out, universal mobilization began, there was nowhere to run. He was credited to the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment.

Adolf Hitler - in contrast to what he himself said and what the regular propagandists claimed - did not serve on the front line. He spent four years of the war outside the defeat of the enemy artillery and machine -gun fire. I never got into a bloody meat grinder. He served as a messenger at the headquarters of the regiment. In the eyes of those who fought at the front line and who had death every day - an enviable existence.

It was then that the Nazi party tirelessly created the myth of the Hero-Frontovik. On behalf of his fellow soldiers, memories called "with Adolf Hitler in the 16th Bavarian regiment" were published. In books for children, Hitler was extolled "as one of the most brave soldiers, distinguished in all battles."

Those who objected to falsification of history were sent to a concentration camp. Lieutenant Hugo Gutman was arrested by the Gestapo in 1937 for the Fyurer False. The former staff officer just recalled that not one Hitler, but in general, all the messenger of the 16th regiment at the end of the war were marked by an iron cross of the 1st degree.

When the battalion was thoroughly battered, old -timers, including Hitler, were made in corporals.

It is strange that Hitler, who passed the whole war, was no longer a promotion: corporals quickly became sergeant.

The former chief of staff of the regiment explained after the war that he intended to make Hitler to non-commissioned officers, but refused this thought, because "he did not find command qualities in him." Corporal Hitler willingly obeyed and followed orders. It never occurred to the front-line comrades that he was able to command someone.

Symptoms of poisoning

On the morning of October 15, 1918, corporal Adolf Hitler and several more soldiers gathered around the field kitchen in the hope of eating. As soon as they started breakfast, an artillery shelling began. The British shell seasoned with gas, with a characteristic hiss, exploded right in front of the kitchen. The soldiers did not have time to pull the gas masks. They shouted in pain - it seemed to them that the hot needles pierced their eyes, the throat and the lungs refused to serve, they suffocated.

One of the soldiers, who suffered less than others, led the blinded medical center blinded. Everyone held on to the overcoat in front of the walking, so as not to get lost. Doctors washed their eyes and took over the overcoat infected with gas.

Hitler said that he was poisoned by an Ipat. But this is a very strong combat remedy. If he had been exposed to Iprit, he would soon come to his senses. He needed only a month for a full cure.

Does this mean that Hitler was influenced not by Iprit, but by a weaker chlorine? Symptoms of chlorine poisoning took place in just a few days.

Despite Hitler's red eyes and his words that he sees nothing, the doctors were sure that his blindness was caused not by gas, but by hysteria. And he was handed over to psychiatrists. In the infirmary, the psychiatrist found that Hitler could not stand his nerves. He treated the corporal of Hitler with hypnosis. Helped.

The uniform for the chancellor

In his character, manners, behavior was too much feminine. The military uniform hid it. I gave Hitler a sense of masculinity. Therefore, in the role of the head of state, he wore a military -style whales and a cap.

Corporal Hitler, according to colleagues, behaved dutifully in relation to officers. “Follow the authorities, do not contradict anyone, to blindly obey,” he told about his military service. He never complained about poor handling of soldiers and thereby differed from his comrades.

In the Second World War, he recouped at the Wehrmacht generals, appointing himself to be the supreme commander in chief.

The former corporal did not know how to talk with birth officers, and created a system of control over the army. During the war, a new column “Worldview” was introduced into the characteristics of officers, reflecting the degree of commitment to National Socialism. Officers on education appeared in military units. They were responsible for maintaining close contacts with the apparatus of the Nazi party and the Main Directorate of the Imperial Security.

Hitler treated his generals with great hostility, suspecting that at heart they despise the former corporal and did not put his instructions in a penny.

The imperial Minister of Education and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels wrote in the diary the impression of a conversation with the Fuhrer: “The lack of leading minds in the Wehrmacht is truly frightening. The Generalty Fuhrer gives a unambiguous negative assessment. They inflate it wherever they can. In addition, they are uneducated and do not even know their military crafts that there is little to expect them. He is a priori does not believe any general. All of them deceive him, come to him with the numbers that the child can refute. The Fuhrer will not allow to rub his glasses! "

The creator of the German tank troops, Colonel General Hinz Guderian, took the post of chief of the General Staff of the Ground Forces. When he expressed disagreement with some proposal to Hitler, he exploded.

“With his face burning with anger, with his fists raised, he stood in front of me, trembling with his whole body,” Guderian recalled. - He completely lost his composure. After each fierce tirade, he took a few steps back and forth, then came up to me again and threw me another charge. He literally went in a cry, it seemed that his eyes would jump out of the orbits. "

Propaganda harms

All Hitler's policy was a continuous adventure! His evil nature did not allow him to live in peace and harmony with others. His crazy looks pushed him to conquest. But Hitler was incredibly lucky! He sought success again and again! He received what he wanted.

Victory in the summer of 1940 was given to the Wehrmacht wonderfully easily. With one blow, the Wehrmacht led France, Belgium and the Netherlands from the game. Britain was supplanted from the continent. The successful campaign was the result of a not well -thought -out plan, and an improvisation, which for a number of reasons was successful. But the Germans themselves believed in the myth of the blitzkrieg.

Hitler imagined himself omnipotent and omnipotent. He himself believed in his greatness and infallibility. His speeches acquired a messianic character.

The low worship of the army of officials, the sweet flattery of propaganda only strengthened the confidence of the Fuhrer that the fate of Germany in his hands and he alone is able to achieve victory.

Russia was originally an enemy

In 1925, Adolf Hitler, whom few still took seriously, wrote: “As a national -thinking person who appreciates humanity from racial positions, I have no right to at least due to the racial inferiority of these peoples to connect the fate of their own people with them. Modern Russia, devoid of its German upper layer, cannot be an ally of the German nation. ”

On January 30, 1933, Hitler, already appointed by the Chancellor, uttered a long monologue that he had a mission not only to save Germany, but also to lead the struggle of the White Man for dominance in the world. The Negro and Mongols, under the leadership of the Bolsheviks and World Jewry, are trying to seize power over the world, its duty is to stop them, to make the greatest racial revolution in history.

He considered Bolshevik Russia a source of world evil.

“About Soviet Russia,” recalled the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs Joachim von Ribbentrop, “the Fuhrer always spoke with the most acute hostility. With such internal excitement, his eyes were dark, his face became tough and inexorable. Hitler was filled with fanatical determination to eliminate communism. ”

Hitler dismissively remarked that "the Russian people, apparently, consisted of the Mongols for seventy to eighty percent." He promised to his associates: "I will trample this East Asian spawn."

The Führer claimed that he started a war against Soviet Russia as a war against world communism. In reality, he did not care who controlled Russia. Russia was an opponent of Germany on the continent. Therefore, it was subject to destruction, and its land - colonization.

Hitler wanted: firstly, to defeat the Soviet Union as a dangerous geopolitical opponent, to destroy as a state and remove Russia from the political map of the world. Secondly, to drive the local population with fertile lands, which, together with oil fields and deposits of minerals, intended to include in the Reich. Thirdly, to doom the Russians and other peoples of the Soviet Union to vegetate so that they never pose a danger to Germany.

Attacked on the USSR on June 22, 1941, Adolf Hitler confidently promised his soldiers that they would return home at the end of August. The Wehrmacht command proceeded from the fact that in 1942 the oil wealth of the Caucasus would be at his disposal. This was a prerequisite for the struggle for the division of the British Empire and for a new war against the United States.

“Now that we are managing Europe,” Hitler proudly said, “we are able to rule over the whole world.” Together with other peoples of New Europe, we can easily resist the Americans ...

The war of destruction

In June, the 41st Hitler did not doubt the victory over the Red Army. And the whole world believed that the Wehrmacht has complete superiority in forces, that huge reserves of weapons, fuel and raw materials were accumulated. It was a fiction. For Germany, entry into the war was an incredible adventure. Hitler improvised, suppressing the will of other politicians with his self -confidence. They simply could not believe that he was able to risk his country.

The extensive territory, economic potential and human resources of the Soviet Union were not comparable with the German. Why did Hitler decide to attack the Soviet Union?

Hitler, a dreamer and madman, built air castles. No matter how much ridicule, his appearance, obvious theatricality of performances, causes his appearance, people listened to the Fuhrer, opening their mouths. His plans for the conquest of power and world domination became a reality. And Hitler himself believed that he was able to overcome any obstacles. He was sure that he was able to deliver a lightning punch and defeat the Soviet Union in a few months.

In Berlin, a bad impression of the combat effectiveness of the Red Army had. Military intelligence (Abwehr) and external (6th Office of the Main Directorate of Imperial Security) reported that many years of Stalin's repressions destroyed team cadres and demoralized a soldier's mass that did not believe his officers and generals. An unsuccessful winter war with little Finland, wore Berlin, indicates a low level of preparation of command staff and weak combat capabilities of the Red Army. And in Berlin they came to the conclusion that the Soviet armed forces no longer pose a danger.

The Wehrmacht generals believed that the Soviet Union could overcome in a few months. They relied on speed, on engines, on the concentration of forces in the main directions, to the first battle, which will decide the outcome of the war.

On March 30, 1941, at the imperial office in Berlin, Hitler made a secret speech to the upper command of the Wehrmacht. He talked about a future war:

- Our tasks regarding Russia: to defeat the armed forces, the state to eliminate ... This is the struggle of two worldviews, because communism is a monstrous danger to the future. We should not adhere to the laws of the soldier's partnership. The communist was not a comrade and will not be. We are talking about the struggle to destroy. This war will differ sharply from the war in the West. In the east, cruelty is a good for the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to destroy the "biological substance of the eastern peoples" in order to take advantage of their living space. This huge pie, said the Fuhrer, you need to skillfully cut it.

One of Hitler's biographers wrote: “When he began to talk about conquering living space for the German people, his speech became frighteningly sharp, he made the impression of a psychopath flushing into a trance. Blood rushed to his face, the body was tensing, he stretched his arms forward, as if he wanted to hit or grab the enemy. ”

For the Fuhrer, Russia was like a bubonous plague capable of infecting and destroying the whole Western world:

Adolf Hitler: “What will happen to the Russians is completely not interested in ... If ten thousand Russian women die from exhaustion, digging anti -tank moat, then this interests me only in the sense of whether this moat is completed, the desired Germany, or not?”

When the war had already begun, on October 17, 1941, Hitler explained to the imperial Minister of Arms Fritz Todt and Gaulitera Fritz Zaucel, who brought labor to Germany from all over Europe, which was waiting for the occupied territories of the East: the Slavs should be treated as the “red Indians”. Useful, that is, peasants, to preserve that they feed Germany. And let the urban population die of hunger ...

***

Having believed in his greatness, Hitler attacked the Soviet Union 80 years ago. But the 41st year will lead to the complete defeat of the German army and surrender of Nazi Germany. “A circle over Berlin,” recalled May 45th one German anti-fascist who returned to his homeland after the collapse of the Third Reich. - Street behind the street, the district behind the district - everything is completely destroyed, nothing but empty boxes. The city center does not exist anymore ... In vain we looked out for at least one relatively surviving building. Everything, literally everything is destroyed, hopelessly destroyed. Dead Berlin. "
