At the end of World War 2, German soldiers desperately went to the British, American, and French troops to surrender.
Some people have said that Germany's surrender is so laborious? The Soviets are right next to them, don't you just ask the Soviets to surrender?
However, in comparison, it is more reliable to find countries such as Britain and the United States to surrender. Because if you find those countries to surrender, you can at least live, but if you really find the Soviet Union to surrender, whether you can survive is a problem.
Therefore, this also caused the spectacle of World War II, Germany was desperately defending the Soviet Union, and the main purpose was to let the troops of Britain, the United States and other countries seize the time to come over, and they could surrender like Britain and the United States.
Why is there such a strange situation? The main reasons for this are as follows:
Point 1: The Soviet Union was a man who had been seriously injured
Some time ago, I saw an article written by a student very funny, how funny is it?
He went so far as to say that the people who contributed the most in World War 2 were the United States, not the Soviet Union.
But anyone who has such a tone is demagogueized by the Western media.
This is actually understandable, after all, people go cold tea, the Soviet Union went too early, so there is no right to speak.
Once again, we look back at the European theater of the Second World War, and especially the Second World War, and we do not know how bad it would have been without the Soviet Union.
At that time, the overall state was basically like this, most of the countries in Europe were lying flat, the United States was a second-tier dealer, and there was always a middleman in the middle, britain was beaten so badly that France directly surrendered.
Although France was divided into two in the later period, some people chose to surrender, and some people chose to resist, but the intensity of the resistance was almost negligible.
And the only real force from World War II to the European battlefield was the Soviet Union.
Let us compare the total strength of the Soviet Union and Germany on the second Soviet-German battlefield, the total mobilization of Germany is 14.2 million, the maximum strength is 7.8 million, the total strength mobilized by the Soviet Union is 34.6 million, the maximum strength is 12.8 million, and the maximum strength here is the number of troops thrown into the battlefield.
Tens of millions of people were thrown into the battlefield, and the relationship between the two sides has long been an endless situation.
In the later period, it was not so much the Soviet Union and Germany that controlled the battlefield as it was the hatred of the nation.
The Soviet Union and Germany have reached a state of immortality, either you die or I die, and in any case, only one of us can stay.
So much so that after the end of World War II, there was a folklore that the Soviet Union went to the Battlefield in Germany to burn and plunder without evil.
And the German soldiers at that time said with great horror: Are you still the Soviet Red Army we have seen? Didn't you give preferential treatment to prisoners? Don't you bully the young and the old?
The Red Army, who had killed the red eye at the time, shouted angrily at the German soldier: I know some of the people you are talking about, but they have died on the battlefield of Stalingrad.
In the beginning, Germany conducted a blitzkrieg raid on the Soviet Union through project Barbarossa, and the Soviet Union received intelligence at the very beginning.
According to some information, on May 1, 1941, when International Workers' Day was held in Moscow's Red Square, spies from several countries, including but not limited to Soviet states, reported to Stalin that Germany would attack the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941.
However, at that time, the Soviet Union believed that the war between Germany and Britain and France had not yet been known, and Germany did not dare to fight at both ends, so it took this news as misinformation.
But before the Battle of the Soviet Union and Germany, it was said more than once on the European battlefield that Germany was ready to attack the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union was skeptical and lost one opportunity after another.
Fortunately, the Soviet strategy was more terrifying than Germany had imagined, and the Soviet Union's mobilization capacity was far beyond Germany's control.
After years of continuous war, it was finally in August and November 1943 that the Red Army completely eliminated the German forces in the Caucasus and recovered a large area of lost land.
On other fronts, the Soviet Union also won repeated victories.
By 1944, the Red Army had a force of 6.35 million, surpassing Germany in terms of troop resources.
Beginning in 1944, the Red Army launched 10 Stalin raids, which recovered all of soviet territory and pushed the strategic front beyond the Soviet borders.
By this time, the Allies had also made the Normandy landings, and the Soviets and allies had engaged in two-front combat, wrapping the Germans in dumplings.
The losses of this war to the Soviet Union were very large, and the entire western industrial area of the Soviet Union was almost completely lost.
At the same time, because of this war, it directly or indirectly led to a demographic breakdown among the elite and ordinary people in the Soviet Union.
This is also why in the late period of the Soviet Union, in a special time stage, there was a discontinuation of political talents at this extremely sensitive time stage, which laid the groundwork for the collapse of the Soviet Union to a certain extent.
So it is not difficult for us to find that this war is almost a blood feud between two countries.
Germany also understood this, and it and the Soviet Union were already dead. After all, Germany did evil first, and the Soviet Union counterattacked, and once the counterattack was successful, it would be a disaster for the whole of Germany.
Point 2: Relations between Germany and Europe
This is relatively ambiguous, in the 1st World War, everyone knows that Germany, as the main initiator, did not suffer too much purge and retaliation after the defeat of the war, nor was it over-squeezed by some countries.
The main reason for this is that Europe is not monolithic, and that there is a churning stick in Europe and some country outside of Europe that is constantly cultivating German power in order to counter France.
Therefore, Germany understood that if it voluntarily surrendered to Europe, it would most likely still be good to eat and drink, and although it would suffer war losses, the losses were far less than that.
So after World War 1, which countries took the initiative to support Germany?
The first country is Britain, the reason why Britain cultivated Germany is not to make Germany too weak, if Germany is too weak, the whole of Europe will cause France to be the only one.
Once france is dominant, then the land contact area of the whole of Europe is basically for France, which is not conducive to Britain's re-insertion into Europe, or to hold the right to speak in Europe.
In addition to Britain, the United States was also proactive in promoting the construction of infrastructure in Germany after the war.
The Reason the United States does this is because it does not want Europe to become too peaceful, and as long as Europe becomes too peaceful, it will affect its own tangible interests.
In fact, World War 2 also proved this in the United States, as long as Europe is in chaos, then the old capitalist countries will become relatively weak capitalist countries.
The United States can take the opportunity to formally rise, and the status of the United States as the world's big brother, or the alternation of identity status, was also completed in these two world wars.
Point 3: After weighing it all up, Germany's judgment is correct
Although Germany's behavior is very shameful, although Germany as one of the initiators of the Second World War brought great disasters to Europe, it has to be admitted that Germany's vision is not a problem.
At a time when World War 2 was about to fail, Germany had no problems in terms of strategy and tactics. But I did not think that Germany was right, but the Soviet Union prejudged Germany's prejudgment.
At that time, Germany's main mentality was like this, as long as it resisted the Soviet attack, and then surrendered to the capitalist countries such as Britain and the United States, everyone was a family, and it was easy to say that although the bitterness was deep, it was not so bitter.
But Germany and the Soviet Union are different, Germany and the Soviet Union are sworn enemies, if they really surrender, then some things in the later period of the Soviet Union can not be controlled.
And the Soviet Union also realized this, joking, hard work for so long, died so many people, now you want to fight, want to surrender to Britain and the United States, these two countries, there is no door.
So the Soviets seized the time to attack until later the Soviets planted their own flag on the German edifice.
After this, there is not much to say, if you are interested, you can check the information, the Soviet Union did not cheap Germany.
Some of the German captives eventually disappeared inexplicably, and the important supplies of the whole of Germany were basically looted.
And once the looting of important German supplies began, Britain, the United States, and even France were not willing to show weakness.
Please, it's time to share the fruits of victory, and whoever wants to run backwards at this time is running forward.
So these countries have successively moved everything that Germany can move away.
The Soviet Union mainly moved some infrastructure equipment, while the United States mainly grabbed elite talents. But the Soviet Union did not only steal the basic equipment, but also the elite talents.
So you don't have to be misled by some street news, please, everyone knows that talent is good.
What's more, at that time, the United States and the Soviet Union made rapid technological progress after the end of World War 2, and then transformed into the world's two superpowers, which also had a certain relationship with the war plunder.
But it is still necessary to say realistically that if you want to say who has the most strength in the European battlefield of World War 2, it must be the Soviet Union.
As for the efforts and efforts that the United States has been bragging about in the European theater of World War 2, it is basically negligible.
