60 years since victory in World War 2

Well, NSDAP had rebuilding of military as its priorities as well. What cannot be said about Russians, which made most of their modern equipment during the war, when they gave free hand to young planners and experimenters in haste. Stalin had good resources and that is all.

You can believe what you will, but with all the inexplorable circumstances and alternate events, you can't possibly produce anything certain to disprove the validity of my praises of Stalin.

If you take validity as a purely subjective aspect of our acts and stances, then I have to agree. However, if you compare it to factors, which led to russian victory in the war, his work was more negative - cleansing of skilled generals, losses in unprepared war against Finns and Poland, oppressive stance against baltic nations, which fought a guerilla war against Soviets during the whole war, etc. Thank God that Konev and Zukov were on Amur during Stalin's cleansings, or he would kill all...
