People should be lucky that Hitler tried himself as General. Well, he failed. He should have let the real generals do their Job. In that case the world would look different today.
@god4488 Luckily for us, The allied including Stalin had planning to kill Hitler but decided at the end to keep him alive in order to defeat him and his Nazis followers - If they kills him then like much stronger and clever man would have taken over leadership, thus prolonging the war.
As long as Hitler stay alive and in power, Germany would struggle against the powerful Allies and the Russians and that's why they shortened the war.
What some of the insensitive comments below reminded me of was the fact that almost noone from the Axis nations today regrets their aggression against Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Greece, etc etc etc.
Except for the fact they lost, that is.
It's this reality which should predominate the commemoration services in Russia today, and not the ideological apologies for Russophobia among Europe's "fraternal working classes" as was seen in the Soviet era.
Its sad how people these days have no respect for anything. Everyone's grandfather was in that war and you people act like its a shit joke. If you got nothing nice to say in the comments then just leave your ignorant opinion out.
Guess which extremely large power in the post-WWII era has also engaged in thousands of acts of military aggression without a single declaration of war?
Hitler named it Barbarossa for one reason. Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa crusaded against the slavs and that is why it was named Operation Barbarossa.
May 9th is a celebration of victory. There should also be a time (a different time) to remember all those who lost their lives. Many were civilians who were simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It's very difficult to believe that there were 15 million fascists, capitalists, and traitors in the USSR. I would think the Revolution killed off most of them.

I love how Russia always claims to be the victim in WW2 when everyone knows the USSR (and thus Russia) was even more bloodthirsty than the Nazi's.
You divided up Poland with the Nazi's (first act of agression), you even broke your treaty with the Nazi's and stole more Eastern European land (which is why they attacked you), you invaded Finland and got your ass kicked, on and on we can go. If the Nazi's didn't exist, WW2 would have been the world against the USSR but you caught a break.
the soviets needed poland on their side , so they can win . Finland too , they were posaitioning for the ultumate show down with the Nazis . calling the USSR fashist should be a crime .
ImperialEmpire, are you 16 years old? Your profile gives no information. But you say such phenomenally stupid things that it's easy to believe you are still in short pants, little troll!
WWII started for Russia in 1939, when USSR invaded Poland in pact with Hitler. Later, the two fascist countries (Germany and Soviet Union) fought between each other. The semi-fascist country (Roosevelt's USA) allied with British imperialists and thus with the Soviet Union.
