Revision?

The question of revising history of WWII is somewhat misappropriate. Revising suggest that something is being slightly changed or adopted. However, the case of WWII historiography is really far from a simple revision. A historiography which had been written based on completely wrong information, provided by years of Soviet’s intentional propaganda misinformation campaign does not need a simple revision. This historiography must in fact be completely re-written.

The major role which the Soviet Union actually played before the start and during the years of the war was being skillfully diminished to fairytales about fear, desire for peace, and lack of preparation for war. These incorrect facts were then reinforced and explained with further incorrect assumptions and fairytales about decapitated Red army, obsolete weapons, incompetent population, poor quality production, etc., on one hand, and on the other by modern, mechanized, skillful, large and powerful German army, innovative German technology, intelligent population, severe Russian winters, large endless spaces, and last but not least the overwhelming Western aid to the Soviet Union.

When analyzing this invented historiography, one cannot stop wondering at the shameless continuation of NAZI propaganda. Today, we are told that the theory of racial superiority was nothing more than NAZI political propaganda tool, however, our very own historiography of WWII is actually based exactly on this same theory: the Russians were stupid and incompetent peasants, while the Germans were smart, skillful and intelligent Arians. Hence, the Russians had obsolete weapons, and those which were modern, they could not really operate because they were incompetent fools. Since the German Arians were smart and intelligent, they built this invincible modern army, invented the Blitzkrieg and almost took over the world, hadn’t been the terrible Russian winter and the will of freedom which let the west into a decisive victorious battle against the evil NAZI forces.

Now, compare the above “historiography” to the real historic facts, which we know today were:

The Soviets built the largest and most modern army in the world;

The Red army possessed overwhelming quantitative and qualitative superiority in every aspect compare to any other army;

The Soviet military theoreticians developed the concept of swift offensive operations and the Red army successfully used it in Khalkhin Gol in August 1939 against the Japanese;

The Soviets built the largest and most modern military industry of the time;

The Soviets invented, built and armed with some of the finest weapons, unmatched by others;

Despite the worst case scenario beginning of the German-Soviet war, the Red army occupied Berlin and half of Europe;

The Soviet communist philosophy openly aims for world domination;

The Germans, despite their Arian intelligence and superiority, were apparently unaware of the sever Russian climate and the size of the Soviet territories, so they failed to prepare for them;

The world renowned German industry and engineering, failed to invent and produce modern weaponry;

Despite the clear Versailles treaty revision set as the main agenda for Germany, it was later claimed as being “world domination aim”, and the Germans were decades behind from being prepared for the successful execution of either of them;

Despite understanding the impossibility of war on two fronts, Hitler opened a second front, with the attack on Soviet Union;

As you can clearly see, the historical facts and events fail to match the orthodox historiography, and the reason is because this historiography was not written based on these facts and events, but was invented with post-war political aims in mind.

That is why, a simple revision will not be sufficient. Rather, a real history needs to be written, this time based on the real historic facts and events. Only then would the people of this planet begin to understand what really went on back then.
