>>10432095>believing in Geobbels 80 year old propaganda.No Hitler only invaded because the needed to get to the Caucasus oil fields before his Military ran out of fuel.
Their allies the Romanians weren't pumping out enough oil, which was becoming to be a huge problem for the German war effort. While their temporary allies (the Soviets) weren't giving them enough resources in Hitlers eyes.
Both oil and the desire to expand the Germanic peoples to the East were Hitler's true motives for starting the Eastern front.
Stalin was not getting ready to invade Germany and if he was he was he was years away from doing it. We know this by how unprepared the Soviets were in 1941-42.
The Soviets didn't really start getting their shit together until Stalingrad.
