Rules

Vote brigading is prohibited. Don't link to comment chains that you've heavily participated in, don't invite people to downvote any linked comments, and do not comment in linked threads. It's not our goal to fight for justice in WW2 historiography on reddit but merely to entertain ourselves.

In line with rule #1, links must contain the np prefix for non-participation (np.reddit.com). Those that do not will be removed automatically by the AutoModerator and you will have to resubmit your thread or have your reply reapproved by a moderator.

No "low hanging fruit." This means white rights and neo-Nazi subreddits or websites, including /r/European and /r/conspiracy, and also submissions where YouTube comments are the main focus. Posts consisting of nothing but holocaust denial are also prohibited. All the material prohibited by this rule can be submitted in the weekly Low Hanging Fruit sticky.

No pro-atrocity counter-jerking. That is no praise of, or excuses for: Stalin, the USSR as a system, genuine war crimes committed by the allies (mass rapes, Japanese internment, Soviet invasion/occupation of Poland and the Baltic states, etc.), as well as no mocking of the victims of any of the aforementioned, or expressing any satisfaction at all with civilians, in Axis countries or otherwise, being unfairly victimized, under any circumstance.

What's a Wehraboo?

For the sub's purposes a Wehraboo is defined as someone with an exaggerated or sanitized view of Nazi Germany's accomplishments or conduct before and during WW2. This could be:

An overly generous take on Nazi Germany's military, such as "10 Shermans to 1 Panther," "astonishing Nazi scientists advanced human civilization by a century," vaguely homoerotic obsession with dashing German soldiers in their Hugo Boss™ uniforms, and downplaying of major faults with the German military's tactics, strategy, and technology or offering excuses for its failures ("if only Hitler listened to his generals").

Whitewashing or downplaying the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Wehrmacht and SS in the field, as well as tu quoque arguments to establish false moral equivalency between allied war crimes and the holocaust ("Babi Yar was bad, but the allies bombed Dresden, so everyone's guilty!")

Exaggerating the accomplishments of the Nazis and Hitler as government administrators, i.e. Hitler miraculously fixed the economy, the Nazis discouraged smoking, the Nazis believed in animal rights, Nazis eliminated crime, etc.

Wehraboo testimonials

"Holy shit, that sub is hilarious. All the self-righteousness and hatred of SRS, but focused on an even more obscure and less real thing to bitch about."

"That sub is fucking disgusting. They are mocking the deaths of innocent Germans."

"Jesus, so acknowledging that Nazi Germany had some advanced technology and was a super power now qualifies for that sub? It's a known fact that a lot of German technology was far superior than the rest of the world"

"Humanization of combatants? Brace yourself for /r/ShitWehraboosSay you evil nazi!"

Why was Vaterland defending in Motherland. (self.ShitWehraboosSay)

Because they invaded would be the straight forward answer.

Im trying to confirm/debunk the notion that Germany invaded the USSR on some preemptive basis. But alas my knowledge of things German is lacking.

Yes I fully understand Suvurov is wrong, it is evidently clear that the USSR was in no shape to go on the offensive in 1941. Yes there is serious political/ideological difficulties with trying to shoehorn Stalin as some arbiter of "the Global Revolution".

As such I raise no questions on the reality of things.

What I am interested in trying to find it is what did the German political leadership and High-Command think of the possibility of a successful Soviet invasion and how likely this would have been? Did the German high command believe they would soon face a Soviet invasion?

I find it hard to listen to, on the one hand people saying the Germans feared a Soviet invasion, and the other hand read how in 1941 the Germans thought they could quickly knock the Red Army and how the Germans seriously underestimated their foes.

I mean they can't fear them and think them just a "rotten structure" at the same time can they? They had seen the Winter War and the performance of the RKKA there, did they really fear an invasion that they thought they could not defend against it and their best bet would be a preemptive strike?

I'm not taking the Nazis speaking in more general terms about the inherent threat of the Asiatic hordes led by Judeo-Bolshevism, but rather for specific military planning.

If anyone has knowledge or know some books where I could find it I'll sacrifice some Bier on the altar of St: Rommel for you.
