If there's a WW3, the only things to survive will be cockroaches and Chris Grayling.

Not forgetting Jeremy Corbyn and Dianne Abbott. How they've survived so far, G0d only knows... and he's scratching his head |

God must also be scratching his head how he's survived so long himself.

In 1939 the Soviets invaded Finland,they 'won' but sustained huge casualties, some experts
think their poor showing during this campaign convinced Adolf that invading Russia would be easy. |

In many ways it was the same story when Germany invaded Russia. Both sides were taking massive casualties but in the end the Germans were running out of men whereas the Russians could replace theirs.

You are right Sica Dan….Russia looked bad against Finland
One reason was the German secret service had managed to convince Stalin that his senior Army Officers were plotting against him, Stalin had them all shot, Stalin was always very paranoiac Lucky he did not shoot Zhukov, a top class commander, not far off Manstein, they clashed in Russia General Winter helped Russia out a bit, Hitler did not learn from Napoleon, just as well for us. |

Stalin strategy - I have more men than the enemy have bullets.
If he was here on BF - would be one of those claiming he could make it pay if only he had a bigger bank! |
|
By:
Well Stalin did win in the end..
I am not sure I would say the same for those on here that think a bigger bank is the answer |

Don't forget the T34 tank...that gave the Germans a shock, they thought they had the last words in tanks.

i could easily have put the nutcase, or the rest of the Cabinet in fact with Chamberlain as all idiots; but as Graylings face annoys me more than anyone at the moment; i used him. Apologies to all who now misguidedly think i adore the nutcase

I think the only time Stalin really had what you could call a strategy was in 1939-41, when he and his Nazi allies were divvying up the former Austro-Hungarian empire between them.

This is an interesting sound recording of Hitler`s meeting with Mannerheim in Finland in June 1942.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8WHyeyItm8 Well worth a listen for anybody interested in WWII who hasn`t heard it before. |

Apparently when Stalin's buddy and comrade in carving up eastern Europe, Hitler, turned on him and invaded Russia, despite the fact he'd had warnings this was going to happen from Britain (who knew it was coming) and even his own intelligence services who had many pointers to it, he was so shocked he went into a sort of catatonic vodka filled mental breakdown for a few days. Communist Russia. A great bunch of guys.

Stalin was ruling his empire from the dining room of a house in ****evo at the time. He hardly left the room anyway, even sleeping on the sofa. When Zhukov rang him at 3.40 am on 22nd June 1941 to tell him of the German invasion, all he got in reply was heavy breathing. Stalin didn't actually emerge from the room until 3rd July, eleven days later.
