LIES AND FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT VICTORY
For the 70th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War
LIE:
Stalin wanted to attack Germany first, Hitler was forced to beat him to it.
TRUTH:
There are no documents to prove this myth. In declassified documents from the Genshtab dating to the spring of 1941, it is said that Soviet forces were generally not ready for war.
LIE:
Stalin and Hitler ignited the war together by signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
TRUTH:
The 1939 pact was a response to a similar agreement made between Hitler, Britain, and France. It was realist diplomacy for the time.
LIE:
If the Germans won, we would be drinking Bavarian beer right now.
TRUTH:
The Nazis planned to leave 14 million people in the European part of Russia to serve 4.5 million Germans. They planned to kill or deport 100 million people. Moscow and St. Petersburg were to be destroyed.
LIE:
Western countries secured victory against Hitler.
TRUTH:
Germany deployed 60 divisions on the Western front, vs 200 against the USSR. The US and Britain killed 8 times less Hitlerites than the USSR.
LIE:
The USSR overwhelmed Germany with bodies, with losses of 10 to 1.
TRUTH:
The number of soldiers that did not return in the armies of the USSR and Germany are 11.5 and 8.6 million, respectively, thus the true ratio is 1.3 to 1. During the Second Front, the US and UK lost 2.3 million soldiers over 338 days, during which time the USSR only lost 1.8 million.
LIE:
Millions of Soviet citizens fought for Hitler against the USSR.
TRUTH:
ROA - 50k solders, RONA - 20k, Eastern battalions - 80k, Politsai - 60-70k, Cossacks - 70k, for a total of 300k. There were more than a million Soviet partisans.
LIE:
Soviet soldiers went into battle under threat of death by barrier troops and SMERSH.
TRUTH:
Even the Germans praised the heroism of Soviet troops. Barrier troops did not appear in the Red Army until 1942. Out of 657000 deserters, only 0.5% were shot under the verdict of a tribunal.
LIE:
OUN-UPA did not collaborate with Hitlerists and fought against them just like it fought against the USSR.
TRUTH:
The OUN battalion "Nachtigall" was part of the Abwehr, division "Galichina" in the SS. After a break in the war part of the Banderists came out against Germany, but not one battle was confirmed.
LIE:
The USSR abandoned its POWs to the whims of the Hitlerists, for Stalin never signed the Geneva Conventions.
TRUTH:
Germany signed the Geneva Conventions, and they state that a signatory nation should follow them, even if they are at war with a nation that did not sign.
