Hitler and Stalin Hitler in his book, Mem Kampf, dealing with the Soviet, says: Thus the fact of the conclusion of a treaty with Russia embodies the declaration of the next war. Its outcome would be the end of Germany. In addition, there is the following: The present rulers of Russia do not at all think of entering an alliance sincerely or keeping one. We must never forget that the regents of present day Russia are common bloodthirsty criminals; that here is the scum of humanity, which, favored by conditions in a tragic hour, over ran a great state, butchered and rooted out millions of its leading intellects with savage blood thirstiness, and for nearly 10 years has exercised the most frightful regime of tyranny of all time. Nor must we forget that these rulers belong to a nation which combines a rare mixture of bestial horror with an inconceivable gift for lying, and today more than ever before believes itself called upon to impose its bloody oppression on the whole world. . . .One does not conclude treaties with parties to whom no treaty would be sacred, since they inhabit this world, not as the advocates of honor and truthfulness, but as the advocates of lying, deceit, theft, rapine and plundering. What a contradiction is presented in the foregoing! Hitler proves himself to be not unlike Stalin as he describes the Russian leader. Hitler enters into a pact with Russia and thus Stalin and Hitler go down the same path, perhaps to the destruction of civilization. Hitler had his purge of blood. So did Stalin. What is chargeable to the one is equally to be applied to the other.
