Good point Kai i once again agree... to a point.

It is now being said ( at least in Russia and the europe ) that Stalins big plan was to stand and watch as germany would fight and wear out in europe eventually bringing the U.S. into the conflict and after the 2 went at it. Stalin would go in and take both........ Dont know how credible the source is but its not news that Stalin wanted to go to war with Hitler. Hitler just beat him to the punch.
