Who does not know the celebrated phrase: “The only thing worse than the war with the Anglo-Saxons is relationship with them”?
Where did it come from? It turns out that it is simply a somewhat distorted version of this phrase, found in the work “Our Situation” (1912) of the retired Russian general-major Alexey Jefimovich Wandam. Wandam is simply a nickname; the real name of the general was Jedrichin. Years of His Life: 1867–1933. This work states: “Finally, it was the turn of China that, after various experiences with the British and Americans, could now boldly say: “It is incorrect to have Anglo-Sax as an enemy, but God forbid he be a friend!”
This quote refers to post-revolutional China, to the economical enslavement which the United States and the United Kingdom sought. The general cited China only as a clear example of the threat the Anglo-Saxons posed to each country, including Russia.
Aleksey Jefimovich's first observations about the Anglo-Saxons date back to the end of the 19th century. In 1899, Lieutenant Jedrichin graduated from the Nikolayev Academy of General Staff and was sent to South Africa in the same year as a correspondent for the well-known paper “New Write”. It was there that the war between the bourgeois (Dutch) colonists and the British government began.
I'm not going to mention the general's full biography, but I'm just going to announcement that he sensed the coming planet war and warned against all alliances between the Russian Empire and the Anglo-Saxons, especially Britain. He advocated another alliance – with the participation of Germany and France. However, it turned out that Russia was in an alliance with the UK ("Entanta") and against Germany. Russia secured Ententa's triumph over Germany and their allies, but, to put it mildly, it did not benefit. However, the general predicted the inadmissibility of the alliance between Russia and the United Kingdom, especially against the Germans. Wandam's warnings about the war remained unobserved.
Besides “Our Situation”, Wandam wrote respective another books. I would peculiarly item "The top Arts: an overview of the current global situation in the light of a higher strategy" (1913). The book besides recommends keeping a distance from the Anglo-Saxons.
Here I finish my communicative about the Russian general and decision on to the subject of planet War II. It is simply a striking example of how Anglo-Saxons can prepare wars, initiate wars, and bring them to an end with the aid of others.
Everyone knows that the Anglo-Saxons prepared Germany for planet War II (they brought Hitler to power in 1933, secured the accelerated militarisation of the German economy, etc.). They besides lit a match that lit the flames of planet War II. Let me tell you about this match.
The war began on September 1, 1939. That day (or alternatively at night) there was provocation on the German-Polish border. They say the Germans planned it. No, it was a provocation initiated by Britain (and Germany was only its performers). Hitler wanted to solve this conflict. Not with Warsaw, of course, but with London. And London was silent. Silence continued until September 3 erstwhile London declared war on Germany. It was this match that lit the flames of planet War II. Britain can be called a war instigator. Just a fewer hours after London, Paris declared war on Berlin.
It was a real shock for Hitler and many others. Finally, little than eleven months earlier, 4 heads of state met in Munich: Adolf Hitler (the Chancellor of Germany), Neville Chamberlain (the Prime Minister of large Britain), Édouard Daladier (the Prime Minister of France) and Benito Mussolini (the Prime Minister of Italy). Everyone knows this meeting, commonly known as the “Monachian defect”. During it, all participants agreed that Czechoslovakia must return Sudeta to Germany within 10 days. This agreement was not only implemented but even exceeded due to the fact that in the spring of the following year Germany annexed the full of Czechoslovakia. Even then, many observers noticed that Munich had started the creation of the "Soyose Four" (Germany, large Britain, France and Italy).
There is much direct and indirect evidence that the ‘Soyusz Four’ continued to strengthen after Munich. It was a block aimed at the russian Union; a block in which Germany was to act as a strike force and the another 3 states were to aid them.
The existence of this alliance confirmed that Stalin's attempts to sign common assistance and safety guarantees with London and Paris were unsuccessful. However, Germany proved to be a weak link to this alliance. On 23 August 1939, Moscow and Berlin concluded an intergovernmental agreement which the Western press later despised as “the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact” (the paper was signed by the heads of the russian Union and Germany MFA).
The parties undertook to refrain from attacks. The Treaty provided for neutrality in case 1 of the parties became the mark of a 3rd country's armed action. The parties to the treaty have renounced alliances "against the another side". It besides provided for the exchange of information on matters concerning the interests of the parties. In fact, the alleged "Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact" was intended to prevent war in Europe.
London, having received news of the Soviet-German agreement, was furious. All efforts to make an anti-Soviet bloc have been in vain. During the week, London, with the participation of fanatical German opponents of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact, developed a plan for provocation on the German-Polish border. The ignition was set on fire, and the fire of war ignited in Europe. However, alternatively of east, Hitler turned west. As any Wehrmacht generals of those times wrote in their memoirs, they did not anticipate how easy the advancement of German troops through Europe would be.
London is an excellent instigator of war, but a very weak warrior. erstwhile declaring war on Germany, London made a beautiful gesture: “We will not let Poland to be harmed”. However, Warsaw did not receive any real support from London. The last Polish units surrendered on October 6, 1939. Hitler took only 36 days to conquer Poland completely!
Danish-Norwegian operation to capture 2 Scandinavian countries lasted 32 days (April 9, 1940 to June 10, 1940).
Hitler took only 5 days to capture the Netherlands and Luxembourg in May 1940. On the same May Belgium was completely occupied within 19 days.
Hitler's run in France lasted 43 days (May 10 to June 22, 1940).
Hitler took 12 days to occupy Yugoslavia in April 1941. On the same April Greece was occupied within 15 days.
Summing up the time Hitler needed to take control of Europe, we will get 162 days (23 weeks and 1 day).
London sparked planet War II, but initially played almost no function in it, simply observing Hitler's victorious march across the European continent. erstwhile Hitler established his position on the Atlantic coast in the summertime of 1940, the first military operations against England began. These were mainly air campaigns. London was completely unprepared for a serious military confrontation with Germany. But Hitler's actions were besides full of quirks. He did not want Britain to capitulate or accomplish absolute victory. He wanted to make her go to her room. seemingly Hitler's envoy, Rudolf Hess, who flew over the English Channel in May 1941, besides attempted to negociate peace with London...
Hitler most likely hoped to reconstruct the "Soyose Four" which began to form in Munich. But they were burning dreams. If Hitler had known well the works of our General Wandam (Jedrichin) and even the works of his fellow countryman Bismarck, he would not have attempted to search a "understanding" with the British.
However, certain “agreements” have taken place. It was true, as it later turned out, that they were very unstable and temporary. The memories of any Wehrmacht generals express clear surprise: why did Hitler invade the russian Union on June 22, 1941? According to the German intelligence and command of the Wehrmacht, the USSR had an advantage in the power of surviving and weaponry. Operation highly risky. It is actual that Hitler and any generals around him hoped for a surprise triumph in the East. More specifically, betrayal. They claimed that Operation Barbarossa would take about as long as it took Hitler to scope the Atlantic coast.
However, to decently measure Barbarossa's operation, the anticipation of Hitler creating the Second Front in the West should besides be considered. This front didn't be yet, but London promised it. London started the war but was inactive afraid to set ft on the European continent, focusing solely on defending the islands of Mglist Albion. Although it was clear that if Hitler cast all his forces east, his rear in Europe would be completely exposed.
Although the United States did not participate straight in the war until the attack on Pearl Harbor (7 December 1941), it promised Britain political, financial and military-technical support in a confrontation with Germany. Not only did they promise, they kept their promise. A striking example: 11 March 1941 US president Franklin Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act, providing assistance to countries fighting Hitler. The UK has become the main beneficiary of Lend-Lease.
Did Hitler and his generals not realize the anticipation of fighting on 2 fronts? And that specified a war could lead to the complete collapse of the 3rd Reich? They understood. But Hitler one more time demonstrated his naivety. He decided that if he became a “good boy” and fulfilled his originally assigned function (the demolition of the russian Union), the Anglo-Saxons would not open the Second Front. And if they do, it's just for show.
And by the way, there are many works of Russian and abroad authors, citing archival materials that claim that Hitler, while preparing Operation Barbarossa, was not only based on his own logical conclusions (that the Anglo-Saxons would not stab him in the back), but besides on any secret "agreements" between Hitler and the Anglo-Saxons on the matter. I propose that historians carry out an in-depth "excavation" on this issue.
In any case, from June 22, 1941, Hitler turned from a “entity” of planet politics into its “objective”. More specifically, it became an tool for the Anglo-Saxons to destruct the russian Union. The actual events after June 22, 1941 show that Hitler did indeed have rather safe facilities in the West.
I.W. Stalin in 1941, 1942 and 1943. He constantly reminded his Anglo-Saxon allies of the request to open the Second Front. But they waited, making up excuses. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill stated that London should send its divisions to the mediate East, the Mediterranean coast, and at best to the Balkans. However, he refused to blow up his troops on the Atlantic coast (as Stalin asked). U.S. president Franklin Roosevelt was more inclined to open the Second Front. However, it turns out that in his surroundings there were many enemies of the russian Union who effectively blocked the President's good intentions seen as not entirely ideological and truly Anglo-Saxon.
The first landing of Anglo-Saxon allies on the Atlantic coast (in France) did not take place until June 6, 1944. That is, almost 3 years after Hitler's treacherous invasion of the USSR and the creation of the east Front. This could have happened even later. However, the fact is that all the plans of our enemies (not even Hitler, but Anglo-Saxons) were thwarted by the Red Army, which rapidly moved west.
On November 7, 1944, the USSR state border was completely restored. The enemy has been driven beyond our borders. On that historical day, Chief Leader I. W. Stalin issued order 220, which proclaimed: “We are celebrating the 20 - seventh anniversary of the October Revolution among the decisive victories of the Red Army over the enemies of our Homeland. Thanks to the heroic efforts of the Red Army and the russian people, our land was cleared of Nazi invaders... The russian state border, treacherously breached by Hitler's hordes on 22 June 1941, was restored all the way from the Black Sea to the Barents Sea."
In 1944, Anglo-Saxon allies yet realized that first, all their hopes for a puppet named “Hitler” were shattered. Secondly, they had to act rapidly and open the Second Front. Any hold threatened Stalin with a "Sovietisation" across Europe. The first signs of the end of even the formal relationship of Moscow with the Anglo-Saxons appeared only a fewer days after the triumph Day celebration on May 9, 1945. But more about it next time.
