The Real Story of the Soviets and the Nazis

 Military training continued, and German officers and engineers gained valuable experience working with the Soviet Union.

The Nazis were receiving millions of tons of Soviet aid as Hitler conquered France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Greece.

Further, the Soviets were in a non-aggression pact with Imperial Japan for most of World War II. After the battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939, the Soviets contributed almost nothing to Allied victory in Asia.

After the Soviets were backstabbed by Hitler, they were still unable to produce many vital war supplies that had to be supplied by the Western Allies: in particular, high quality radios and high-octane aviation fuel were items that the Soviet industry was simply unable to produce.

The Nazis won their greatest military victories while their tanks were running on oil from the Soviet Union and being led by generals who had trained in the Soviet Union, with pilots whose instructors had attended flight school in the Soviet Union.

While the sacrifice of the millions of Red Army soldiers should be respected, it should come with the understanding that the Soviets helped the Nazis rise as much as they participated in their downfall.

Had the Soviets not allowed German officers to train in Russia, had Stalin not made an agreement with Germany and had the Communists not provided the Nazis with vital war supplies such as oil and rare metals, Hitler may not have been able to conquer seven countries from Sept 1939 to June 1941.
