And if Hitler didn't break it first (which he wasn't about to let that happen), then Stalin most assuredly would have. Both countries had invasion plans drawn against the other when Ribbentrop and Molotov made the agreement.



Hitler did listen to his generals. He just didn't always listen to the right ones, and in particular, at the right times. Most of Hitlers' time was spent meeting with commanders and reviewing situations and and their plans.

Case in point: Rommel. Rommel was one of Hitler's favorites. And he was a good 'tactical' leader. But Rommel was not good at strategic level thinking. He should have never been a corp or army level commander. He was pretty much universally disliked by his superiors and peers in the German High Command for his strategic incompetence.

Stallin was killing his generals and the Russian army wasn't much of anything, he wasn't well-equipped and his army had outdated equipment/weapons, and Russia had no allies, among other reasons.

Hitler would have been better off if the Russians tried to invade.

Typical Fred.

Anything that's not his original thought isn't valuable or worth reading.
