This is a bit of a spinoff from the Hitler-topic above, especially Kraxis comment. It poses the question if Stalin planned an attack on the western front, which is a hotly debated one, especially since the book "Icebreaker" came out. Very understandable as many fear this could somehow justify the german attack of the Sovietunion or even allow the Nazis to be somehow remembered as the ones who save Europe from the red wave.
IMHO Hitler long planned to attack Stalin, so nor an agressive nor a peaceful Sovietunion would have changed much, but anyway what our your opinions relative this delicate topic?
