The Soviet Union was going to invade. Conflict with them was inevitable.
"For us, the war plans are ready... In the course of the next two months we can begin the struggle against Germany. It may surprise you that I'm telling you our war plans, but it has to be. We must take this step for our protection and take revenge for Bulgaria and Finland. There is a peace treaty with Germany, but that's just an illusion, a curtain behind which we can work."
- Joseph Stalin, May 5, 1941

I agree wth the guy who posted this video. I am of prussian descent and I know my history. People judge germans of being evil, but that isnt true. the SS was a small force nd they were the ones who went around killing jews and slavs.
Hitler got us into the mess of WWII, its not like the army had a choice, now they had to fight to defend their families.

German army were Reichswehr still in early 1930s but when Hitler gained power in germany the Reichswehr began a secret programme of expansion. The secret programme of expansion became public with the formal announcement of the Wehrmacht in 1935.

The Wehrmacht existed way before Hitler. It's ignorance to say they were all nazis. As soldiers, affiliation to any political party was (and still is) strictly forbidden. On the battlefield soldiers from both sides fight for the same reason: not to conquer, not to liberate a thing, just to stay alive and be able to go back to their families.
