of course they don't. the only thing they do is continuously draw parallels between nazies and soviets - those, who actually destroyed nazies and who's ideology was completely opposite of that of nazies. but other than that - yeah, completely objective.

Fixed.

American anti-semiticism continued well into the fifties, with Greek and Italian peasants being given preferential immigration treatment over educated jews.

Germany didn't want the jews, Europe didn't want the jews, Britain didn't want the jews, America didn't want the jews, Palestine didn't want the jews, Madagascar didn't want the jews.

Why do you emphasize America when everything regarding the Jews was happening in Europe? Way to deflect ownership of the problem.

Had Europe not been intent on purging the Jews from Europe, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Nor would we be having multiple derails about Israel and Palestine.

^This.

Parallels are drawn between Hitler and Stalin. And Mao and Hitler. And Mao and Stalin. And Pol Pot and Hitler, etc. All dictators who oppressed their people and killed millions of them for various reasons. That's not the same as comparing Nazis to Soviets...except for the ideologies of the various individuals being compared.

Nice that you throw in that bit about "those who actually destroyed the Nazis" again, though.

orly? over those 30 years you haven't heard hitler compared to stalin? you haven't heard soviet regime compared to nazies? you haven't picked up on all the subtle little things - cultural and societal - being compared between soviets and nazies in light of western - and thus, completely incompatible with either ideology - values? then for 30 years now you've been reading literature about ww2 and understanding nothing. i can't help you.

@FEOS: oh, i get it. comparing stalin to hitler is not comparing soviets to nazies now? wow. somebody should go refresh his memory on what "authoritarian regime" means.

of course they are. yet they are being constantly compared. not directly of course, that would be nigh impossible, but by looking at the events of ww2. nazies attacked ussr - zomg, but ussr was about to attack nazies! nazies killed millions of people - zomg, but soviets killed a lot of people too. nazies used slave labor - zomg, soviets sent people to gulags! the katyn incident re-visited recently and it's outrageous "resolution". none of that would stand for a second under any sort of critical research, but who the hell bothers with that? history is like a septic tank - the biggest turds always raise to the top and that's what all the shifties and war mans get - the "zomg, soviets were like nazies" crap.

there is a whole trend aimed, no doubt, at re-wising the outcome of ww2 and shifting the blame for starting it in the first place. it's exceedingly apparent imo, but if people insist on keeping their heads in the sand, who am i to tell them otherwise?

What Shahter doesn't understand is the strength of the pacifist/isolationist movement in the US during the interwar years. Roosevelt was doing everything he could to help the European powers short of committing forces, which he couldn't do because of said movement. In fact, that movement was pushing to hold Roosevelt accountable for the aid we were providing, which led to Lend Lease (as opposed to just "giving it away"). It was a tightrope Roosevelt was walking (irony, I know), and until Japan attacked, he was perilously close to Congress revolting against him because of it. He worked much of it "backchannel" through the War Department so that Congress and the public wouldn't notice.

Try not to have a Brain Hemorrhage.
Human Smoke touches on much of the same material, as it focuses on the pacifist movement and how that led the US to turn a blind eye to much of what was going on in Europe pre-Pearl Harbor.
I haven't read that one. I was unable to take the author and this book's proposition serious after hearing Phil Hendrie school him on his show.

You make the most hilarious assumptions.

I have come across Hitler being compared to Stalin yes but not as an own subject and not as to prove a point as to how cruel Stalin was in comparison, I have never come across in any books that historians tried to badmouth Russia's contributions in WW2.

With that said I have read the biography about Stalin written by a western historian, it was a very good but a tedious read ... Stalin did some good things for Russia but very few good things for the Russians and even fewer good things if any at all for the rest of the Soviet populace.

Like most other leaders of Russia/Soviet since 1917 he enforced a communist system enriching a few on behalf of the many ... Stalin was without a doubt on top of the list of committing crimes against humanity over a long period of time. As was Hitler in his reign over Europe.

I see no point in comparing dictators up against each other and very few historians have done just that, they analyse each man and judge him based on his actions ... they did that with Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Petain etc etc etc

If anyone is trying to make a comparison here it is you in an attempt to sugar cote Stalin ... if anyone reeks of propaganda it is you, if anyone have a hard time understanding this subject it is you.

Okay ... so now you are saying they are not directly compared but rather snuck into the text without the reader noticing it?

Shahter wrote:

I have yet to read anything that states Soviet was about to attack the Nazis, the Nazis and Hitler in particular was afraid of Soviet and Bolshevism was besides the Jews their number one fear and concern.

Shahter wrote:

Yes Stalin was in charge and responsible for killing millions, that doesn't take away the fact or diminish that Hitler and the Nazis killed millions, it doesn't exclude the fact that they both killed millions ...

Shahter wrote:

nazies used slave labor - zomg, soviets sent people to gulags!
Yes ... both did that, and no books I've read used the one to excuse the other ...

The Nazis were intent on purging the jews from Europe, they weren't purged from anywhere which wasn't under direct Nazi control were they?

Were European countries purging the jews before or after the Nazis came and went?

No?

You're talking rubbish.

The fact is the Germans wanted them out and no other country one earth, including America and many others, wanted them.

German jews weren't Spain's problem, French jews weren't Switerland's problem, Polish jews weren't Ireland's problem any more than European jews were America's problem to deal with.

'Europe' didn't really exist as any kind of entity back then any more than North and South America share liability for each others problems now.

gorbachev and his crew ordered people working in the archives to forge the evidence. fortunately, those people were a good bunch - or maybe simply incompetent - and left a lot of undeniable traces of forgery. is there a point in bringing that to everybody's attention? i dunno. i'll let you answer that question for yourself.
