Generalfeldmarshall Fedor von Bock could have attacked primarily f...

And smashed into Russia, Even as Ribbentrop was negotiating with Molotov concerning the non-aggression pact! None of the Western allies cared about Russia, America hates communism, England flatly refused Stalin's treaty advances, That is the only reason a German-Russian pact came to exist anyway. Ta...

I enjoyed your bio immensely sir! As a student of history,You piqued my curiosity. I wonder what the approximate number of German vets that later served in the U.S. Army was? Thank you for submitting your life, it was truly honorable!
