"War of The Century" 13 of 20

Before invading Poland, Germany signed the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, securing the eastern border of Germany. Limited trade, mostly on the part of the Russians, was part of the agreement. But everyone involved knew that it was a measure on both sides to buy time. Ideologically, both nations despised the other. Hitler had devoted much of Mein Kampf to his believe in the menace of Communism. Nazism was against everything Communism stood for.

Part of the operational planning of the German high command involved a possible invasion of the Soviet Union. On July 21, a month after the fall of France, Hitler summoned Generalfeldmarshal Walther von Brauchitsch and instructed him to plan for an invasion of the Soviet Union

@JamesMr90 Well it wasn't exactly a good time to be a sympathetic pussy worrying about the feelings of idealists in the distant future. It was brutal total war fought on the ground, face to face. They didn't have the benefit of firing off precision weapons from a dozen miles away or the option of pulling back when things got too hot. It was a war of survival, with so many dead that you become numb to it all, and your only thought is to survive or die yourself.

Watching this makes me wish the Russians had been anihilated. Absolutely no regard for the lives of their own men, and talking about killing fellow Russians without a hint of emotion in their eyes - other than hate.

The Geneva Convention was obviously not considered nor honored on the Eastern Front. It is no wonder why the Germans made every effort to come to terms with the British or American governments or to simply surrender to them.

Having to cap a man, a German or not, 60 times with a submachine gun at point blank at the age of fourteen would one horrible experience to say the least.
