Why did Hitler attack USSR?

16079479? ago

Lot to unpack here.

Hitler as he discussed in detail in Mein Kampf wanted to create a German superstate capable of rivaling the United States in terms of its economy and population. To do this, he proposed something we call "lebensraum".

Germany was too small population wise to ever be a global power. So, the idea was that Germany would conquer Eastern Europe (which was filled with Slavic peoples that Hitler considered to be "subhuman"), kill/deport most of the adult native population, have ethnic Germans settle the area, and eventually through breeding "aryans" enough, have an ethnostate controlling all of central and eastern europe.

So a conflict where Germany attacks Russia is inevitable. But why attack the Soviet Union when they did? The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact heavily favored the Soviets in the long run, and both sides knew this. The most lopsided part was how trade was conducted. Germany NEEDED oil, and they pretty much could only get it from the Soviets. That meant the Soviets could change the cost or cut the supply altogether whenever they wanted which is pretty dangerous for the Germans. Both sides knew that the agreement would only last a few years. The Germans, after realizing that the British weren't going to surrender, decided to attack the Soviets in late spring 1941. This was pretty much the best time they could attack. Before then, the Soviets wouldn't have begun the massive rearmnament and reorganization of the Red Army. And after then, the Red Army would be completely reformed and the Germans wouldn't stand a chance.

Got off topic but does that answer your question?

Reminder that codemonkey is personally responsible for allowing posts which say that Hitler thought Slavs were subhuman, and not Marx, Trotsky, and the kikes who were the ones who said ALL SLAVS MUST BE EXTERMINATED.

If you actually read that book instead of only using the cover image you would see it's not about slavs, but jews and other subhumen

"

These photographs reflect the situation of children in the “Soviet State”!

All this is the result of the Jewish politics regarding families. The sea of bitter children tears, which cannot be dried even through hundreds of years."

90% of the book is comparing how they act, what their art is like to aryans. these things can be changed and improved, as long as they aren't jewish they can rise up from being undermen, just like men can rise up to become overmen

In fact, the reich used that term frequently for the criminal element in german society.
