IDEOLOGY AND SYMBOLISM

The German Army, and the General Command, had forgotten some things, when they attacked Russia, (the treatment of the Russian prisoners, the lack of winter-clothing for the German soldiers or the Siberian troops, which stopped the Nazis, who were 8 kilometers from the Kremlin.), but other things they had planned far in advance. There is also an occult connection. Many people forget, that Nazism had occult and mythical roots. The superiority of the race has its foundations not in Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy, but in the German believe, that they were the heirs of the Aryan Race, former rulers of Atlantis. Demi-gods, who possessed super-powers, they called “Vril”. Their claim of superiority was supported by "eugenics", the science of the human race. The Nazis believed that the battlefield, was the optimal place for transformation. Dying in this holy war was very good karma, so to say. And die, they did. From the start of the operation (22 June 1941) until Christmas 1941, 500.000 soldiers died or got wounded. (being 1/6 of Hitler's “Heeresgruppen” (totalling 3 million).

Hitler's battle plan was ready around Christmas 1940. The German soldiers were optimistic and felt superior. Especially to the Russian forces. The “Generalstab” thought, that the "Wehrmacht" needed 17 to 22 weeks to bring Stalin to its knees (and did not expect to fight in fierce winter situations). The German tactics of “connecting forces” (Luftwaffe, Panzer, infantery, SS, Navy) had nothing to fear of the Russian,(old-fashioned, tactical backwards and outdated equipment), Red Army.

Why did Hitler choose this date and why was it called “der Fall Barbarossa”. Redbeard (Barbarossa) was the name of a German Emperor during the Middle Ages, when Germany ruled many parts of Eastern Europe. There were many legends about this German superman. One of them told, like the stories about King Arthur, that the emperor would return. He was asleep, with his army, in the mountains. He would return, when Germany needed him most and join the crusade to the East. The attack on Russia had that purpose. Once and for all a hated ideology would be destroyed and a Satanic state, led by the evil Stalin. Hitler c.s. believed, that they fought a historical battle and that they would be joined by a hero and army from the past. An invisible army of the dead.

But why 22st. of June. Hitler combined three options using this date. First it was a Sunday, and the enemy could be taken of guard, which they were. Secondly, on the 22st. of June 1940 there came an end to the war in the West. France capitulated. On the same date, about 230 years ago, Napoleon Bonaparte started his, fatal, Russian campaign.
