Description
If Adolf Hitler could think rationally, he wouldn’t have dared to start a war against the Soviet Union—a war that Nazi Germany could not win under any circumstances.
But Hitler imagined himself all-powerful and omnipotent. He believed in his own greatness and infallibility. And from the very threshold, he rejected any doubts and objections. His speeches took on a messianic tone.
The army officials’ servile devotion and the sweet flattery of propaganda only strengthened the Führer’s confidence that Germany’s fate was in his hands and that only he could achieve victory.
He considered himself appointed Providence to lead the country and the world. And he also dreamed of destroying Russia and the Russians he hated and feared. That’s why attempts by German diplomats, who understood the strength of the USSR, to avoid war—“the plot of the ambassadors”—were unsuccessful.
This is what L. Mlechin’s book “Hitler vs. Stalin” is about.
