Today, 6 July 1941, Stalin’s European conquest offensive operation “GROM” was due to begin.
We are publishing a post from Valdo Praust on 6 July 1941 with the aim of maintaining this post and its message to the widest possible audience. We will bring the post without reference to the original, because as a result of the spread of this post message, Valdo Praust’s post may be attacked and may be removed as a result.
We also recommend reading our article on Stalin’s speech of 5 May 1941, where he first time said the Red Army must prepare for the European conquering offensive.
It must be made clear that the legislation signed by Putin on 1 July 2021, which leads to criminal proceedings for all those who publicly equate the participation of the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany in the start of the Second World War, coincides perfectly with the anniversary of 6 July 1941. The Soviet Union also had the flags of the future European Socialist Republics designed early.
Valdo Praust:
Today, 80 years ago, on 6 July 1941, according to the original plans, the Soviet Union planned to attack Germany with all its forces after two decades of preparation to launch the third attempt at the world revolution (read – conquer a large part of Europe). These plans had no chance of realizing – Germany foresaw them a year prior and opted for a tactical pre-emptive offensive against the Soviet Union to defeat them, which was realized on 22 June 1941. Germany’s pre-emptive attack was so powerful that nothing of the original plans of offensive by the Soviet Union came to pass and later it was forgotten in their official history descriptions. By restructuring of the Red Army and the Soviet Union economy alone (what army units were on way to borders, what strategic changes in leadership were made) can it be assumed that the possible day of attack was 6 July, when all preparations seemed to have been completed. But, as usual with such things, everything was left to the last minute with the perspective to change the date and time. Knowing the tactics of the Soviet Union, it was probably planned to stage an attack on the Red Army by the “Germans” (Soviet subversion units), which would then have been brought to a big propaganda campaign, followed by a massive Red Army (counter) attack, along with rhetoric about “human scum fascists”, “Saviour of Europe” and so on. Or in short everything that the Soviet Union let loose in 1944 when the Red Army got creeping towards Europe. I would very much like to hope that, someday, people will come to power in Russia who will bring out some of the documents proving the attack on 6 July from the depths of the archives. I don’t really want to believe they didn’t exist, i.e. that the “big plan” was only in Stalin’s head. In a situation where Germany carried out a pre-emptive attack two weeks earlier, today, 80 years ago, on 6 July 1941, the situation on the front looked quite different, of course – the German troops had occupied Lithuania, most of Latvia (including Riga), forced Dnepr and prepared to invade Estonia and take Smolensk and Pihkva away (Pihkva, capital of whole Seto. Remark: Valdef.org). At the same time, in the war that began with the German attack, a certain amount of rhetoric could be taken over from the previously prepared ” non-existent” war, which was supposed to start with the Soviet Union attack. For the Soviet Union offensive campaign was prepared the signature song “Holy War” (“Священная война”), the famous poster “Mother-homeland calls” (” Родина-мать зовeт”) pre-printed (see the picture) , which were good enough to be employed in the changed concept war without any amendments. However, it is clear that if the war had started 80 years ago today with the Soviet Union massive offensive on Germany, it would not have been called the “Great Patriotic War”, but something else. In any case, the name “Great Patriotic War” was clearly invented by the Bolshevik after the German invasion, and it was first used in Stalin’s seminal radio speech on 3 July 1941. What would have been different in the world if the Soviet-German war had not begun with a proactive German offensive, but with a giant Red Army offensive today 80 years ago? It could be assumed that Stalin would have received a much larger piece of Europe in the war than he got in 1944-45. Under favourable conditions for him (lend-lease and the skilful exploitation of the mindset of the world), it could have happened that the Soviet rule (including the Bolshevik terror) would have been established even in the vast majority of continental Europe up to the Spain – Dolores Ibarruri was already prepared by Stalin to become the leader of the Spanish Soviet Union. In Italy and Greece, the communist guerrillas had already been prepared for the ‘world revolution’. Let us remember, for example, the arrest and hanging upside down of Mussolini by one such group of communists in the spring of 1945 and the deadly and bloody civil war in Greece between the Westerners and the Communists in 1945-48. Menacingly in the event of Stalin’s first offensive in these countries, too, Soviet rule with communist terror would be established. Of course, there would also have been the possibility that the communist empire, which has spread across the continent of Europe, would have collapsed because of some unexpected external influence or internal conflict, but it would only have been an opportunity. In any case, it seems to me that Europe would have become a much worse place today on the case of the Stalin’s striking first would have took place 80 years ago than it did in fact. It is very possible that most of continental Europe could have experienced such a long Bolshevik occupation as we experienced here in Estonia for more than four decades.
