Stalin blocked two attempts to kill Hitler, Russian general says

Stalin blocked two attempts to kill Hitler, Russian general says
Josef Stalin blocked two attempts to kill Adolf Hiter during the Second World War, fearing that his replacement as Nazi leader would make peace with the Western Allies, a top Russian general said.


A plan to attack Hitler's bunker in 1943 and a 1944 plot involving an assassin who had gained the trust of the Nazi leadership were both cancelled on Stalin's orders, General Anatoly Kulikov told a historical conference in Moscow on Tuesday.

"A plan to assassinate Hitler in his bunker was developed, but Stalin suddenly cancelled it in 1943 over fears that after Hitler's death his associates would conclude a separate peace treaty with Britain and the United States," Russia's RIA news agency quoted Gen Kulikov as saying.

In 1944, the Soviets again plotted to kill Hitler after a potential assassin managed to gain the trust of the Nazi leadership. "A detailed assassination plan was prepared, but Stalin cancelled it again," Gen Kulikov was quoted as saying.

Hitler killed himself on April 30, 1945, as Soviet forces closed on Berlin, effectively ending the war in Europe and setting the stage for the Cold War stand-off between Russia and the West.

An estimated 27 million Soviet citizens died in the 1941-1945 war with Nazi Germany.

Gen Kulikov was Russia's interior minister from 1995 to 1998 under President Boris Yeltsin. He said that the Club of Military Leaders, which he heads, would include details of the assassination attempts in a forthcoming book on the Second World War.

You should change your screen name to something Russian.

How about Ivan Jaginov?

His fear was well grounded. The German army at the time was very well equipped, trained, and led. Why replace the buffoon at the helm when he's doing more damage to his side than yours?

That's why Churchill also opposed attempts to assassinate Hitler. Because he thought that his replacement could do far more damage.

It's probably true. Himmler would have been much worse, and made the holocaust look like a fucking ice cream social.

Plus, Hitler's successor might have actually been competent. That said, all the stuff said about the Russian contribution to the war must seriously be questioned in a new light after this.

To be fair, without Russian contribution we probably couldn't have one, and the possible assassinations wouldn't have been possible had they not been in the war anyway.

Completely eliminating any trace of Nazism during the occupation and the cancer of nationalism in Germany was probably worth it (too bad we couldn't eliminate nationalism in our country as well, which makes us vulnerable to a similar demagogic takeover by conservatives who will destroy America, if they don't destroy humanity and all that is good in the world first in their incredible and boundless evil).
