Fascinating story right from the mouth of a calculating killer.

Did Finland secretly record EVERYTHING he said while there? Yes. Why? Because Mannerheim had utter disdain for him.

Very interesting post. At first I thought I was gonna get Rick Roll'd.

Man in the High Castle scenario if he didn't invade Russia. Very scary thought

What's the story on why this recording exists?
RoloTonyBrown
The meeting was in a train car. It was secretly recorded by a Finnish officer. Hitler/the Germans didn't know at the time.
Shloobs
Huh. Neat.
DocEZ
It's crazy how he mentions that a two front war would break Germany... he must of really lost his mind at the end
IAmBoredAtWork
Yep, that is what i thought when i heard that part
Feralkyn
It sounded to me like he was saying a two-war front would break germany but they had to do it anyway, and was explaining why they were
Feralkyn
gonna lose, and why they had to do it?
Myotherusernameistaken
There's a recording of hitler flirting with a camera girl...
implodingrat
wasnt it actually Eva Braun recording him? And he says something to the effect of "why are you filming a tired old man? i should film you."
Myotherusernameistaken
That might be true I haven't seen the video in a while

There is a document called "Göringin sauva", from this meeting, some finnish should add CC text. Source https://youtu.be/qT6vstBDa-0

It's always unsettling hearing hitler talk like a person and not a frothing lunatic; a harsh reminder that anyone can commit atrocities.
JewishMonk
If you've never seen Triumph of the Will, you should. It's an old Nazi propaganda film and it's absolutely fascinating.
BallsToYouSirAndOrMadam
It sounds familiar, I'll have to look into it; I'm fascinated by propoganda and social engineering.
Trojkan
I mean, propaganda aside, that film was way ahead of it's time when it came to filming techniques.

If Hitler never underestimated Stalin's military, and broke the NAP between them, the world may be a much different place today.

In Edvard Radzinsky's biography of Stalin, he makes a compelling case that Stalin was about to attack. Anyway, NAP was inherently unstable.

If he just left Russia alone and focused on Europe, he might have held out. He almost literally poked the bear, and created two superpowers.
Yoloswagforjesus
Russia was going to attack Germany anyway.
AtroposM
Fighting a defensive war might have been winnable for Germany as they had better armaments than Russia. Hitler lost to a logistical mishap.
WhellerNG
Not really. The Soviet-German NAP was the two buying time. The two were ideologically opposed. They both fully expected to break it. (1/2)
WhellerNG
Germany just got there first. (2/2)
lobosrul
Which is why the Red Army's complete lack of preparedness for war is so baffling.
Muffinman41
Exactly, Stalin was trying to buy time to get ready for the inevitable invasion. His military was weak from WWI, civil war and purges.

Part of the argument is that if Germany had let the Soviet Union build up anymore, there would have been more communist states by the end.

But imagine if he and Japan both invaded Russia together, and let the US stay isolationist for even longer.

Japan was deathly afraid of the USSR after the battle of Khalkhin Gol. Wasn't gonna happen. In fact Japan had no foreknowledge of Barbarossa

Still feels like two average sized dogs going after a bear. Could work, probably wouldn't.
SilentJoe0o
Considering it was a sick and weakened bear with poor decision making, they probably would. Source: history classes in Russian school.
JohnnyTitelips
Part of that was that Italy was incompetent and got the fuck kicked out of it by Greece, forcing Hitler to help, delaying his invasion (1/2)

so that it lasted into the winter. Which, if there's one thing you don't wanna do, it's invade Russia during the winter.

A heroic story about the Finnish alliance: Finnish president Ryti made the deal with Nazis to stop the Soviets. He made it so that he was(+)
eroso
(+)personally responsible of it, not the country. This alliance was enough to hold the Soviets away from FInland, so they marched to Berlin+
eroso
(+) instead. After the war Ryti was sentenced to 10 years in a torture room. His sacrifice made him one the greatest Finnish national heroes
Jyrs
Let me clear this up, the "torture room" isn't exactly torturing, its just a somewhat harsher version of the usual prison sentence.(+)
Jyrs
Risto Ryti is not a Finnish national hero, rather he is blamed for joining the Continuation War, that was the reason Finland lost more land.
Jyrs
Oh and Ryti didn't serve his whole sentence, he was pardoned by Paasikivi.
