D-Day: How the US Supported Hitler's Rise to Power

[@ezellccful]

D-day would have never happened if not for the Soviet victory in Stalingrad, FACT

[@lynnwood7205]

Most would not understand. The Soviet Union had to demonstrate to American money that it had the grit to defeat the Nazi war machine. The Soviets also had to pledge their gold bullion reserve held in the vaults of the New York Federal Reserve Bank international gold repository with additional deposits of bullion throughout the war as collateral for lend lease. The British Empire had to relocate all securities, bonds, gold bullion, treasures of state, to a location in Canada one day's march from the American border as a collateral guarantee for lend lease.

While all of this was happening the soviet's red army already had 100 days of furious battles along the eastern border with most of the best german batallions.

[@alexb8560]

Anthony Sutton wrote about this topic in vivid detail. It's quite frightening

[@commie12akk44]

The turning point of WWII was the Battle of Stalingrad. The American Empire did not stop Hitler and facilitated Nazis' rise to power mostly because their bourgeoisie wanted to eradicate the threat to the existing global order i. e socialism/communism. Fascism be it Italian, German or Spanish, was a feature of capitalism in decay to defend the profits of the few at the time when the working class/proletariat started to gain democratic victories. The notion that the US got themselves involved on wrong sides in the Cold War is a classic example of liberal analysis. Why are right-wing autocrats, military juntas, monarchies or apartheid states so attractive to US leaders? The answer is simple: Such states open up their markets for foreign capital penetration, giving place to transnational monopolies, offer their natural resources and restrict workers rights. History is not a mystery if one realizes actual class differences.

Excellent, rich interview/discussion and it's clear enough that to complete it will definitely require additional parts. Regarding the Canadian disembarkment at the beach front in Normany I read plenty of years ago, maybe 15, perhaps more, that the Cdn soldiers weren't supposed to disembark and hit the beach UNTIL the Cdn air back-up had arrived but the soldiers did because of not having received this warning themselves; that some higher-ups, say, hadn't communicated this info. to the soldiers. As a consequence thousands of them were SLAUGHTERED after or when disembarking and hitting the beach. Iow, they were like "set up" for slaughter due to gross negligence by higher-ups. If not mistaken in terms of what I read about this, this damn gross negligence started with higher ranks in Ottawa. Well, this all I read about that history in terms of the disembarkment at Normandy. I didn't read anything of the like with regards to US and British soldiers, but I'm also not a historian; only having bits, parts, and surely not thoroughly in terms of those parts. I look forward to the additional parts for this interview.

Hitler was the only right-winger in Germany in the 1920ies who advocated an attack on the Soviet Union which was, of course, in the interest of the US and Britain. His racist doctrine was also adopted from British and US writers and his doctrine of eugenics followed US eugenics which differed from the German one. German eugenicists held that lower races can be lifted by interbreeding while US ones taught that it would harm the higher race.

[@julesg7430]

Just a small fact check: The Soviet Union wasn´t the only country to support the Spanish Republic. Mexico was the only other country to do it as well: politically, diplomatically, economically, and militarily. Sure, the amount of aid dwarfs what Mexico could send, but it still wasn't insignificant. Mexico sent several thousand volunteers on the Republican side (they're mostly not counted because they fought in the Republican regular forces, not in the International Brigade as they were culturally close enough and spoke the language). It also sent much humanitarian aid, weapons, and ammunition. Diplomatically, it even covertly bought heavier stuff like warplanes under its name (to get around the British and French embargo and naval blockade) and smuggled it to the Republicans. In fact, the British seized some of that war material. After the war, it took the most exiles and refugees of any country. Stalin only took in around 5,000, while Mexico took in around 50,000 Republican refugees. It also broke relations with Spain after the Nationalists' victory and didn't establish diplomatic relations with Spain until after Franco's death (in the mid-70s). I recommend reading: "Mexico and the Spanish Civil War: Political Repercussions for the Republican Cause, " by Mario Ojeda Revah

[@MuonRay]

Its interesting how the West lauds D-day as the "decisive turning point" when, if you look at the history over many years of fighting the US actually came to the war in Europe very late in the game. The Battle of Stalingrad was almost certainly the turning point in world war 2, without any doubt it was the longest battle and not surprisingly the most brutal point of the ground war, moreover looking at the background the Soviets had been defeated months prior to the beginning of the battle at the Siege of Sevastopol, in which the Soviets were defeated by the Nazis in a desperate drive to control the only port in the region that was ice-free year round, so to win a major defensive battle at Stalingrad after that in a little over a year from such a major defeat at Sevastopol was a huge shift and one that signified that the Nazis made a critical error in declaring war on the Soviets. Now of course, no red-scared American would have been taught that at school or at the Hollywood movies so, as Gore Vidal once said, the United States could be a nation of amnesiacs regarding the greatest war in world history and thus initiate the cold war without scruples against the ally that really defeated the Nazis on the ground, which were the undoubtedly the Soviets.

Trump almost said "liberal" when "liberation" came up 😂 My great grandfather who'd fought in WWI (underage) rejoined the US Army after retiring with the expressed purpose of fighting fascism (Especially Mousseline since he was Sicilian) and it ruined him. He was never the same after he got back. He was in Sicily and the beaches of Normandy as well as a few other places so I we can only imagine what he and his comrades saw. It all could've been avoided. But capitalist self-interest made sure it never was. The fact that we're kept from our history so we may be shaped into better, more indoctrinated, uncritical and obedient cogs for the the same capitalist machine that ensured Hitler's rise and Fascism to spread. Even after the US got involved it wasn't for any good reason other than blatant self-interest.

Antony C Sutton: Wall Street and the rise of Hitler & communism Antony Sutton, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution from 1968 to 1973. During his time at the Hoover Institute he wrote the major study Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development (in three volumes), arguing that the West played a major role in developing the Soviet Union from its very beginnings up until the present time (1970). Sutton argued that the Soviet Union's technological and manufacturing base-which was then engaged in supplying the Viet Cong -- was built by United States corporations and largely funded by US taxpayers. Steel and iron plants, the GAZ automobile factory - a Ford subsidiary, located in eastern Russia - and many other Soviet industrial enterprises were, according to Sutton, built with the help or technical assistance of the United States or U.S. corporations. He argued further that the Soviet Union's acquisition of MIRV technology was made possible by receiving (from U.S. sources) machining equipment for the manufacture of precision ball bearings, necessary to mass-produce MIRV-enabled missiles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZLLkIuknpKaqsk
