More Propaganda from another Hollywood Director
Stone is attempting to rewrite history by making it seem that Stalin was somehow better than Hitler. nothing could be further from the truth.
As bad as Hitler was he was nowhere near the son of a bitch that Stalin was. To suggest otherwise is laughable. Just taking into account sheer numbers, Stalin killed at least five or six times the number as Hitler. The Soviet troops were true barbarians. They were known for mutilating the enemy, even going so far as to desecrate people's genitals as well as engaging in cannibalism. What can you say about a guy who used the NKVD to shoot his own troops if any of them retreated.
Hitler knew about the rising threat of Bolshevik communism. It was only a matter of time before the Soviets moved west and that's why Hitler engaged in a preemptive strike. Just Google operation thunder to read about Stalin's planned invasion of Europe.
I love how stone then tries to play the part of the apologist by claiming the Allies had no choice but to get into bed with Stalin in order to defeat the evil Germany. Even general Patton said that we had defeated the wrong enemy and wanted to go back and take out Stalin, which would have eliminated communism. Unfortunately, he died from injuries sustained in a car accident before he got the chance. Coincidence?
Isn't it funny how today a person can buy a T-shirt with Chairman Mao's face, a coffee mug with the face of Stalin, a soda pop called Leninade, a T-shirt of Che Guevara, but not one item of any kind or sort can ever be found depicting the likeness of Hitler. Why? Is it because he made the mistake of killing Jews and will forever be demonized as the most evil man that ever lived? Don't ever let anyone tell you that the complicated events of World War II are as simple as Nazi bad, Jews and allies good.
