This expression never gets old. It was also true in the 30s of the 20th century. And why now no one asks the question - where did the poor, devastated Germany get the money to raise industry, re-equip the army? But everything lies on the surface. They were financed by two "exceptional" nations, you guessed it right - the US and the UK. What for? Everything is simple. The Soviet Union abandoned Trotsky's theory of exporting revolution, focusing on its development. At the same time, growth rates exceeded those of the capitalist countries. The West understood that sooner or later, the Soviet Union, with its vast territory, enormous resources and great human potential, would become the leader. At the same time, the Soviet Union in many ways looked attractive to the population of Western countries, especially against the backdrop of the economic crisis. Also, certain circles in the West were not happy with the unsuccessful attempt to bring the resources of Russia under their control with the help of the February Revolution and their puppets from the White movement. They were also very worried about the possibility of an alliance between Germany and the USSR, and there was such an opportunity, one should not forget about the strong communist party in Germany. And the union of Russia and Germany has always been a nightmare for the Anglo-Saxons. And so a counterbalance to the USSR was needed. A ram that will crush him, well, or weaken him as much as possible. Certain circles in the United States also had their own interest in solving their economic problems with the help of war. So what? The United States is overseas, you can safely trade with all parties to the conflict, while the war in Europe will crush competitors.

And a candidate for the role of a battering ram was found. Hitler at the head of the NDSAP. In 1922, in Munich, Hitler met with the US military attaché in Germany, Captain Truman Smith, who drew up a detailed report about it to the Washington authorities, in which he spoke highly of Hitler.
January 30, 1933: Adolf Hitler is appointed Reich Chancellor of the Weimar Republic. And he begins to pursue an anti-communist policy. Competitors must be eliminated.
Starting in the 1920s, American business began to actively invest in Germany. Large loans, for which the Germans paid off with shares of enterprises. The total amount of foreign investments in German industry for 1924-1929 amounted to almost 63 billion gold marks. 70% of financial receipts are provided by US bankers. As early as 1929, German industry was largely in the hands of the leading American financial and industrial groups.

In 1930, Hjalmar Schacht visited the United States. He met with American businessmen and discussed the approval of Adolf Hitler as head of Germany. American financial tycoons liked the idea of a change of government and the fight against Bolshevism. After this visit, American businessmen began to invest more actively in the German economy.
In 1931, due to the termination of lending by American banks, a crisis begins in Germany. But at the same time, a golden rain is shed on the NSDAP, which is why this party gets the second place in the Reichstag. In addition, Hitler's party receives large infusions from abroad through Swiss banks. In 1932, the English financier Norman met with Hitler, the Dulles brothers were also present at the meeting (what a familiar surname, isn't it?), Where an agreement was reached on financing the NSDAP. In May 1933, the head of the Reichsbank J. Shakht meets with the President of the United States and the largest bankers on Wall Street. As a result, America gave Germany loans totaling $ 1 billion. And in June, during a trip to London, Schacht is seeking an English loan of $ 2 billion and the termination of payments on old loans. In 1934 g. American "Standard Oil" has built large oil refineries in Germany. At the same time, the most modern equipment for aircraft factories was secretly supplied to Germany from the USA. Germany receives a large number of military patents from the firms Pratt & Whitney, Bendix Aviation, Douglas. By 1941, American investments in the German economy amounted to $ 475 million. The Coca-Cola Company was the general sponsor of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin and actively built factories in Germany. In 1938, car industrialist Henry Ford received the Grand Cross of the German Eagle for his services to the Third Reich. Henry Ford produced military products commissioned by the Nazis and actively used concentration camp prisoners in European factories. James Mooney, Executive Director of DM, was awarded the Medal for Service to the Reich.

At the same time, all Western countries diligently turned a blind eye to Germany's violation of the provisions of the Versailles Peace. But that is not all. A series of treaties is signed that free Hitler's hands.
On July 15, 1933, a "pact of four" is signed in Rome, consisting of Italy, Great Britain, Germany and France. The treaty provided for political cooperation between the four powers in the League of Nations in order to eliminate the threat of war in Europe. It was assumed that the main efforts of the "Pact of Four" would be aimed at revising some of the provisions of the Versailles Peace Treaties.
On January 26, 1934, the Non-Aggression Pact was signed between Germany and Poland, the Pilsudski-Hitler Pact, also known as the "Declaration on the Non-Use of Force between Germany and Poland."

In June 1935, the Anglo-German Maritime Agreement of 1935 was signed - an agreement on the balance of naval forces between Great Britain and Nazi Germany. “It was by the agreement on the ratio of the fleets (the Anglo-German Naval Treaty in June 1935) that England actually legalized the rearmament of Germany in violation of the fundamental treaties.” The official comments of the British government emphasized that the implementation of the treaty limits would allow Germany to establish maritime dominance in the Baltic Sea, that is, it hinted at the anti-Soviet orientation of the treaty.

In November 1937, the British minister Halifax, during negotiations with Hitler, gave consent on behalf of his government to the "acquisition" of Austria by Germany. A little later, on February 22, 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared in Parliament that Austria could not count on the protection of the League of Nations: “We must not deceive, let alone hope, small weak states, promising them protection from the League of Nations and appropriate steps on our part, because we know that nothing like this can be done."
On September 29, 1938, the Munich Agreement (Munich Agreement) is signed. Agreement between Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy. The agreement stipulated that Czechoslovakia would liberate and cede the Sudetenland to Germany within 10 days. On October 1, 1938, without waiting, the German Wehrmacht invaded Czechoslovakia and occupied the Sudetenland. On the same day, Czechoslovakia was forced to withdraw its troops from the Cieszyn region, which on October 2 was occupied by Poland. (Pay attention Poland happily chopped off a piece of territory from Czechoslovakia).

On September 30, 1938, the Anglo-German Declaration is signed - a joint declaration by Chamberlain and Hitler. The declaration stated that the Munich Agreement, signed by them the day before, as well as the Anglo-German naval agreement “symbolize the will of both peoples never to fight each other again”, and will also “discuss and consult on issues of vital importance for Great Britain and Germany, to settle all differences and thus contribute to the preservation of European peace …"

On December 6, 1938, in Paris, the French and German Foreign Ministers J. Bonnet and I. Ribbentrop signed the Franco-German Declaration (the Bonnet-Ribbentrop Declaration, the Bonnet-Ribbentrop Pact). According to the declaration, both governments pledged to make every effort to develop peaceful and good-neighborly relations between their countries. It was pointed out that there were no territorial disputes between France and Germany and that the existing border between them was final. It was decided "to maintain contact with each other on all issues concerning their countries, and to consult among themselves if these issues in their further development could lead to international complications." The French politician Paul Reynaud later wrote that after negotiations with Ribbentrop, Bonnet “had the impression thatthat from now on, German policy will be aimed at combating Bolshevism. The Reich made it clear that he had a desire for expansion in the eastern direction …”.
See how diligently he was raised and fed?
By the way, Hitler found a common language with Poland.
In February 1937, during negotiations between Hermann Goering and the commander-in-chief of Poland, Marshal Rydz - Smigl, Goering said that not only Bolshevism, but also Russia as such, posed a threat to Poland and Germany, regardless of whether there was a monarchical, liberal or any other build. On August 31, 1937, the Polish General Staff repeated this idea in Directive No. 2304/2/37, stressing that the ultimate goal of Polish policy is "the destruction of all Russia."
And everything could have worked out for them. And another Reich ally, Poland, would go on a campaign to the East. Yes, only the Poles then ruined everything by their eternal ambition.
Germany attacks Poland and according to the guarantees given to Poland by Britain and France, they must help with all their might to repel the aggression. And … What are they doing?
September 1, 1939
September 3, 1939 Great Britain and France declare war on Germany. But the war is very strange (it will be called “strange” war).
* Strange * war.
French and British troops sat along the border, and the biggest problem for the command was the drunkenness of the soldiers.
* Strange * war.
It was forbidden even to shoot towards the Germans. And the Anglo-French aviation "bombed" Germany with leaflets! The most interesting thing is the balance of forces on this front. All combat-ready units of the Germans were in Poland, and in the West there were "second order" troops, drawn from reservists. On the western frontier, Berlin had only 23 divisions against about 110 French and British divisions. The German troops on the western border had no tanks or air support at all! All tanks and aircraft were in the East. The Anglo-French, if they wanted, could easily cross the Rhine and strike at the Ruhr, the main industrial center of Germany, and bring Berlin to its knees. The world war would have ended there. But this was not part of the plans of the western elite.
British Field Marshal Montgomery.
French correspondent Roland Dorjeles, The most interesting thing is that the German generals objected to Hitler before the attack on Poland. They understood perfectly well that in this situation, everything could lead to disaster. But Hitler brushed it off. It seems that he KNEW that there will be no strike from the West. As a result, Hitler manages to capture Poland, Denmark, Norway. And only then does he strike at France. And by the way, on his personal order, they did not finish off the British evacuees from Dunkirk. German troops approached Dunkirk two days earlier than the British. But on Hitler's order, they stopped, and calmly waited until the British came up and occupied the only port from where they could evacuate. The question is, what did the British promise him?
France is occupied, Hitler's hands are completely untied. You know what happened next, June 22, 1941. Then the war between Japan and the United States. Germany declares war on the States. And what do you think the contacts between the enemies have stopped? Of course they continued. As they say - "business, nothing personal." Even after the United States entered World War II, American corporations continued to actively fulfill orders from firms of enemy countries, supporting the activities of their branches in Germany, Italy, and even Japan. On December 13, 1941, the President of the United States even issued a special decree that allowed doing business with companies of enemy states, unless there was a corresponding ban on the part of the US Treasury Department. But in the Ministry of Finance there were understanding people and therefore no one paid attention to the contacts of American corporations with Germany. During the Second World War, not a single Standard Oil tanker was sunk by German submarines. Still, friend and benefactor Rockefeller. In the Canary Islands, a refueling base for German submarines was generally arranged. Even neutral Sweden and Switzerland supplied Germany with iron ore for steel production and precision instruments. The American company IBM supplied calculating machines and special paper for … concentration camps. How do you like it? Like?supplied calculating machines and special paper for … concentration camps.

To the left of Hitler is the head of IBM.
1945 Germany is defeated. The USSR suffered enormous losses, both human and economic. It seems the goal has been achieved. But the USSR, neither politically nor economically, fell under their control. And then it sounds:
Churchill's Fulton speech.
And they did not care about the freedom of Eastern Europe, they were satisfied that the USSR received Eastern Europe and was forced to invest in these countries, ripping off funds from its economy. They needed the USSR. Its territories and resources. The Cold War begins.
