Beschreibung

<p>For generations, Operation Barbarossa has been understood as a unilateral act of German aggression: a surprise invasion driven by ideology, unleashed against an unprepared Soviet Union. But this narrative leaves critical questions unanswered-and ignores a growing body of evidence pointing in another direction.</p><p>Building upon the controversial thesis first advanced by Viktor Suvorov in <em>Icebreaker </em>in 1989, <em>Germany in Stalin's Crosshairs</em> takes the argument even further. Drawing on thousands of Soviet military documents, operational plans, and archival sources, the book presents a stark and unsettling conclusion: Since 1940 at the latest, Stalin was not preparing for defense, but for a massive offensive aimed at Germany and Western Europe.</p><p>Through a systematic examination of Red Army mobilization, forward deployment, war production, and strategic planning, the author - General Bernd Schwipper, a former East German career officer, who is fluent in Russian - reveals a pattern that challenges decades of historical consensus. What emerges is not a passive Soviet Union caught off guard, but a state poised for war, and on the verge of striking first.</p><p>Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Bernd Schwipper's groundbreaking book, <em>Germany in Stalin's Crosshairs, </em> for the first time in English. Bold, meticulously documented, and impossible to ignore, this book is a direct challenge to the foundations of mainstream World War II historiography.</p>
