What is the legendary Soviet "Thunderstorm Plan" and what is its significance?

As we all know, there was a very important period in World War II? 1941June 22, the day when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the famous? Plan Barbarossa? Start it!

In the early days of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet response was quite ineffective. The Soviet Union became one of the countries with the greatest casualties and losses in World War II, largely because of its improper early response. Three million Germans attacked the Soviet Union. At the beginning of the war, 66 airports in the western Soviet Union were heavily bombed. The Soviet Union lost 1200 aircraft in half a day, of which 800 were destroyed at the airport before taking off. Before 18 days of the war, the Soviet Union lost 2,000 arms, 3,000 cannons, 2,000 planes and 1500 tanks, and 300,000 Soviet troops were captured by the Germans?

194 1 year, the Soviet union lost 70% of its industrial production capacity, and the output of basic industries was only 33% of that of Germany and German-occupied areas. 1942, the Soviet union produced 25% of Germany's steel, 20% of Germany's copper and aluminum, and 0/7% of Germany's coal. Only oil production has surpassed that of Germany.

Of course, the chaotic performance in the early Soviet Union was largely due to the last-minute command problem, but the hasty preparation was certainly to blame. Then you may think: with Stalin's ability, didn't he realize Germany's ambition?

That's impossible. There are many reasons for the improper performance of the Soviet Union in the early stage. For example, is the Soviet Union just passing by? Cleaning? The domestic political order has not been fully restored; The Soviet side underestimated the degree of German adventure; The Soviet Union didn't trust Britain enough. However, the Soviet Union was by no means completely wary of Germany. In fact, the Soviet Union is not only highly vigilant against Germany, but there is even a saying that the Soviet Union is likely to have peace? Operation Barbarossa? Rival action plan, thunderstorm plan? !

200 1 published secret files of World War II (Russian scholar Boris? Dimovic? Sokolov, Russian version 200 1 published, Chinese version published in 2005). The book thinks that the Soviet Union has already attacked Germany? Thunderstorm plan? !

Hitler was a war maniac, but Stalin was not a vegetarian. What did Britain and France do at that time? Appeasement policy? I wanted to lead the disaster to the Soviet Union, and then watched the two families take advantage of each other after losing, and ended up playing with themselves. Hitler fought hard in the western front (at that time, only Britain resisted tenaciously in the whole western Europe by virtue of the strait), so would Stalin have the same idea and want Hitler and western Europe to fight each other, and then? ?

Based on this strategy, in March of 194 1, the Soviet high command formulated? Western expansion strategic plan? , is to attack Germany (1939 "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Agreement" makes the Soviet Union and Germany directly border)! The original plan was to attack on June 12, which was postponed because of insufficient preparation?

However, Stalin and other senior Soviet officials had no idea of Hitler's madness: he brazenly invaded the East before he made his mark on the western front, which made the Soviet Union at a loss?

This is what is said in the secret files of World War II. However, whether this matter is true or not has not been confirmed so far, but the basic judgment is unlikely, because there is no conclusive evidence, and according to the performance of the Soviet Union before the war, it is impossible for the Soviet Union to have such careful preparations.

However, from another angle, let me talk about it first. Does the Soviet Union have a military record of attacking Germany? That must be true. Normal countries will imagine and formulate military strategies with neighboring countries as imaginary enemies (even Canada has it against the United States, and the famous United States? Rainbow War Plan? ), the so-called preparedness. The question is: is this part of the overall military plan or is it really the national strategy of the Soviet Union?

There is a very strange place in it. On the eve of the war, the Soviet Union assembled a large number of troops on the western front (which was also the reason why the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the war). What on earth are so many troops doing? Is it used to attack? Or for defense?

German field marshal von? Manstein's analysis in his book The Lost Victory is: What should the Russian army look like? Can cope with all kinds of situations. Strategic preparation, usually used for defense, but once? The world has changed? Tearing up the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty and moving west, but generally on the defensive, but it is also a great threat to Germany. Of course, this is the German point of view, former Nazi German general Amin? Feng? That's what the lost empire of the dragon said.

In fact, this can also be seen as an excuse. The German said, Are we not that bad? Guilty? It's just that we started earlier than the Russians. If we don't start, will the Soviet Union hit us?

However, even according to this Russian scholar, this plan really exists, and the performance of the Soviet Union is not much better.

Even if the Soviet army really got ahead of the enemy, such as attacking in June 12 as planned, then the losses they suffered would not be comparable? Barbarossa? The losses suffered during the implementation of the plan are even smaller. The secret plan of World War II

What is the reason? The Soviet Union's ability is too poor, and the German army's preparations for fighting against the Soviet Union have already been carried out. Did you get a look at him? Thunderstorm plan? The introduction may be a bit confusing: the Soviet high-level officials are preparing to attack Germany on a large scale and send troops to the west in large numbers. But because the Germans attacked first, the Soviet Union was unprepared, so it was a mess?

How strange it sounds: oh, you are going to attack Germany on a large scale, and as a result, why can't you even fight a battle of your own? Right?

In fact, the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses more because of internal problems. As for whether the Soviet Union launched a military strike against Germany, this is definitely true. However, did the Soviet Union really regard this as a national strategy? At present, the possibility is still relatively low.
