During World War II, hitler, the fuehrer of Nazi Germany, ordered the massacre of Jews, and what was Stalin doing in the Soviet Union, not far from Germany? Is there a chance to stop the rise of Hitler's Third Reich?
Stalin was busy at work while Hitler was massacring Jews
Let us first look at the time and process of persecution and massacre of Jews by the German Nazi Party, the Time of the German Nazi Party came to power in 1933, and the time of large-scale persecution of Jews also began at this time, when the Soviet Fuehrer Stalin, still busy consolidating the foundation of the state and personal position that was not yet stable, did not have much energy to pay attention to foreign affairs.
Why did the Nazi Party have a hard time with the Jews? It is mainly due to both ideology and conflict of interest.
Hitler and the Nazi Party were ideologically at odds with the Jews
Nazi Party ideology held that the Germans were a noble and excellent race,
But the Jews considered themselves God's chosen people, above the "Gentiles" (including the Germans), and thus created an ideological conflict! The Nazis intensified their propaganda of patriotism and solidarity and sharing to win the support of the people, and the Jews had almost no concept of the state, possessed a great deal of wealth and influence, but had no interest in Nazi Party propaganda, and even refuted it in the meeting place, thus creating a conflict of interest.
Initially, it was limited to verbal and propaganda exclusion of Jews, with synagogues destroyed and Jews sentenced to collective fines. This gradually developed into looting and mass murder of Jews. When World War II broke out in 1939, Nazi Germany began mass destruction of Jews in order to prevent information leakage and further plunder of Jewish wealth! In addition to Germany, Nazi Germany also had a crush on Belgium, Poland, the Netherlands, and others who were successfully invaded. And so on, the Jews in many places, carried out brutal ethnic cleansing!
From ideological differences to ethnic cleansing massacres
As a result of Tsarist Russia and the nascent Soviet Union, the economic base suffered severe damage,
At this time, Stalin, the head of the Soviet Union, was busy with economic development plans, and the phenomenon of a cult of personality for Stalin began to rise! Nor did it pay enough attention to Nazi Germany, always pinning its hopes on the Soviet-German peace treaty to protect peace.
The Soviet Union under Stalin was busy with internal affairs and economic construction
At 3:00 a.m. on June 22, 1941, the Nazi German army broke into the Soviet Union in three ways, and the war officially began, at which time Stalin woke up like a dream and experienced the dangers of Hitler and Nazi Germany!
Next is the familiar Soviet-German war, because the Soviet Union rushed to meet the war and was not prepared, Nazi Germany had a great advantage! The Soviet Union could only retreat to the east, and then the German front became longer and longer, and it became more and more difficult to adapt to supplies and the environment, and in 1943, the Soviet Union organized an effective counteroffensive, and Germany began to show signs of passivity! Falling into the quagmire of war and having difficult signs of improvement in the short term are becoming more and more obvious.
At the end of the Soviet-German War, Germany began to fall into a quagmire and become passive
In order to encourage all the soldiers and civilians of Nazi Germany and at the same time consolidate the results of the aggression that have been achieved!
Hitler and Nazi Germany decided to change the name of the country, formerly: Deutsches Reich, now to Grodeutsches Reich, which is what they often call Germany's "Third Reich", and set the base camp of Nazi Germany in the southeastern German city, Nuremberg!
Why call it the "Third Reich" and set the base camp in Nuremberg? It turned out that Nazi Germany wanted to stain the light of the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages! Nuremberg can be said to be the unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire! The previous Germans had conquered and annexed the Holy Roman Empire (962–1806 AD), so Germany and the Holy Roman Empire at this time were "justifiably" called the "First Empire"!
Hitler wanted to use the Roman Empire to consolidate his rule and escape its demise
Modern Germany uses the name of the country: German Empire (1871–1918 AD), this period is called: the Second Reich,
The latter Germany has been used, and now in the late days of Hitler's rule, it has been changed to: the Greater German State, that is, the natural "Third Reich". The later ending, as everyone knows, changed the name of the country, or did not save the fate of Nazi Germany, two years later, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union led the coalition army still destroyed them!
At this time, Stalin deeply felt how unbelievable the ideas and propaganda of Hitler and the Nazi Reich were. Do you see it that way?
