Topic: In this episode I look into the relationship of Hitler and Stalin; did they admire each other? Or were they diametrically opposed?; the evidence is overwhelming that Stalin and Hitler admired each other; Hitler privately praised the communist butcher as “brilliant” and “the greatest living statesmen”; he was impressed with Stalin’s brutality and “revolutionary consistency”; Stalin liked Hitler too; he was so enamored with Hitler that he ignored clear intelligence warnings of an impending invasion believing his friend Hitler would not do it; Hitler eventually came to support and copy the Soviet planned economic model to achieve his own military and imperial goals of Lebensraum and autarky; Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin all shared a common hatred of capitalism, money and wealth.
