THE STRANGE CASE OF RUDOLF HESS 43the territorial expanse behind it for withdrawal? Did it have the inexhaustiblehuman resources, and the time, to restore its army after the firstSoviet surprise attack?”Perhaps the best support for Suvorov’s claims came from Hitler himself.“Already in 1940 it became increasingly clear from month to monththat the plans of the men in the Kremlin were aimed at the domination,and thus the destruction, of all of Europe. I have already told the nation ofthe build-up of Soviet Rus sian military power in the East during a periodwhen Germany had only a few divisions in the provinces bordering SovietRus sia. Only a blind person could fail to see that a military build-up ofunique world-historical dimensions was being carried out. And this wasnot in order to protect something that was being threatened, but ratheronly to attack that which seemed incapable of defense. . . . I may say thistoday: if the wave of more than twenty thousand tanks, hundreds of divisions,tens of thousands of artillery pieces, along with more than ten thousandairplanes, had not been kept from being set into motion against theReich, Europe would have been lost,” the fuehrer stated in his speech onDecember 11, 1941, when he declared war against the United States.Of course, the victors always write history, so whether Hitler’s attackon the Soviet Union was sheer aggression or a necessary preemptive strikewill probably be argued for many years.

It would certainlygo far in explaining Hitler’s otherwise inexplicable actions in startinga two-front war, the very situation he had warned against in MeinKampf. It also would help explain why Franklin Roo sevelt, at the biddingof the globalists, was arming the Soviet Union in blatant violation of theNeutrality Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937. By the end of 1940, with all Europeunder German control and Britain threatened, they may have determinedto stop Hitler.Hitler clearly indicated what he saw as the machinations undertaken toprevent any negotiated end to hostilities in 1941. In a speech to the Reichstagless than a week before Hess’s arrival in Scotland, he declared, “All myendeavors to come to an understanding with Britain were wrecked by thedetermination of a small clique, which, whether from motives of hate or
