There are sources saying that Stalin would have attacked on his own two weeks later. If you are looking up figures of Russian production, you will see that tank ( aggressive weapon ) output was rather high and the tanks were completely inoperable on russian terrain because they were designed to use at least dirt roads. Many of them shreded tracks and were overrun by the germans in the first year.
As Russian and Asian terrain had little to offer concerning roads or flat countrysides, the logical conclusion would be middle europe as a prime target.
If Russia had attacked with it's massive tank power able to fight on proper ( non-russian ) terrain, it could have been a lot worse for Germany.
>>>>>i dont know where you got this from at all......
everthing ive read is totally to the contrary.....
Stalin was totally shocked when hitler broke their peace agreement and apparently went into deep depression for several days after before getting himself together........there were no plans for attacking Germany
( This is open to debate, I read it. It isn't neccessarily the truth, I haven't checked this )
