Who set Hitler against Stalin?. Nikolay Starikov

Chancellor. Actually, when he came to power on October 3, 1918, a new government was established, where not ceremonious Kaiser officiaries but right-wing social-democrats ruled, headed by Ebert and Scheidemann. In the end of September 1918 the situation at front-lines was complicated. The Germany Allies started to hesitate[44]. On September 30 Bulgaria concluded armistice with the Entente countries. Leaders of Austro-Hungary and Turkey also started to consider saving their regimes instead of winning the lasting war. At that time it was most important to reinforce their spirit and confidence of winning.

      It was obviously true for Germany. Its competitors had to solve another problem number one, which was holding separate negotiations with German satellites. The matter was that if allies of Germany seceded from it, it would inevitably loose, though, if they remained, the war could have lingered on. And population of London and Paris was at the edge of exhaustion; they might not have withstood millions of new death notices. Even the USA that had just joined the struggle didn’t wish this struggle to linger on. It was not by chance that Washington had been waiting for almost four years and had declared war on Germany in half a year before it was defeated. The point was to come and get everything made, not filling inaccessible German trenches with dead bodies of American soldiers.

      And some real miracles started in this crucial moment. The German Chancellor Prince Max of Baden caught a cold. It was bad for him, of course, but it wasn’t too disastrous for the country. Though, it wasn’t the Prince’s illness that caused the trouble, but its consequences. What happened? Nothing important, really. Nonsense.

      Prince Max of Baden fell asleep.

      And he was sleeping for some really long time. As long as normal people never sleep, even if they are extremely tired and busy. You will find no information about it in school books, as historians normally miss out the facts they can’t explain. However, this information can be learnt from memoirs of the British Prime-Minister Lloyd George. It wasn’t the matter of uncommonly long sleep of the Reichschancellor, it was that Germany actually lost the war while he was asleep!

      “Excessive dose of dormitive made him unconscious for 36 critical hours, since November 1 till November 3. When he awoke, he discovered that the last German allies, Turkey and Austro-Hungary, had broke off the war. Disturbances enkindled by Bolsheviks agitators were breaking up all over Germany”[45].

      Actually, Vienna and Istanbul made separate peace with the Entente, and the Head of the German Government was fast asleep at that time. When he opened his eyes, his country was at the Death’s door already…

      Do you believe that the Reichschancellor could have spontaneously fallen asleep and slept for 36 hours? Do you believe that no one could have woken him up? Or that no one felt like that despite what was going on? Stalin would never sleep the battle of Moscow away, no matter how tired he would be! Hitler would never sleep the battle of Berlin, no matter how badly his nervous system would be stressed! Even overtired and ill George Bush, as well as any other President, would be woken up, if something as catastrophic as the event on September 11, 2001 would happen in the USA. Their position obliges them to manage their country, to give directions and to react to rapidly changing conditions.

      But Prince Max of Baden was sleeping. There are only two reasonable explanations of him sleeping that calmly on the decisive moment of the German history. Both of them make us feel that the German “revolution” is very similar to a plot or to an operation of an Intelligence Service.

      • It wasn’t by chance that the ill Prince got the horse drench of dormitive and that no one who could have woken him up was allowed to see him.

      • Prince chose that pathetic alibi himself, pretended to be ill and quietly “slept” in his study, not interfering into crushing of his country (as all of it had been agreed before).

      Let inquisitive historians determine what really happened there. In this case more details doesn’t really make more sense. However, we will mention one more interesting point, featuring the German revolution and “the Sleeping Beau”, Prince of Baden. As it is well-known, crush of the Kaiser Empire started from the sailors’ revolt in Kiel. Just as in Russia, sailors were “beauty and pride” of the revolution. Both our and their Naval forces spent most of the war in ports. Dreadnoughts and battleships were too expensive to let them sink during battles in vain. Thanks to idleness and propaganda, sailors became the impulsive force of “changes”…

      The revolt in port Kiel took place, because “the buddies” disaccustomed to military service didn’t wish to take part in the decisive battle with the British fleet. German admirals had a good idea, actually, they wanted to give a fateful battle. And then let the luck hold. Victory could have totally changed the situation, but defeat wouldn’t have made things any worse. Anyway, dying in a battle suits military honor better than capitulation. Though, sailors propagandized by social-democrats failed to support such great idea and started a revolt.

      How shall we call this? A military rebellion. Such fault has always been severely punished in every army. In wartime Court martial of any army would simply sentence the guilty ones to execution. However, the German government, including social-democrats, didn’t use force against rebels. Moreover, Prince Max issued an order, prohibiting to use weapons for suppression of expanding disturbances. When his inaction weakened the regime enough, the Reichschancellor instantly woke up and called to headquarters of Kaiser Wilhelm in the town of Spa, suggesting that Kaiser should abdicate. “Only his long-drawn sleep prevented Prince Max from making certain suggestions to Wilhelm before”[46], the British Prime-Minister Lloyd George wrote in his memoirs. You might not feel so, but the more I studied the miracles of that time, the more I doubted that the valiant German Prince Max was sleeping, indeed…

      This situation looks very alike our February revolution, when the Monarch was made to abdicate. It was this abdication, not “the revolution situation”, which instantly put the country on the Death’s door. Though, whereas Nicolas II yielded to blackmail, Kaiser showed some temper. He was able of doing it, because unlike his Russian cousin he wasn’t under arrest. However, such persistence of the Monarch prevented starting of the further mechanism, intended to quickly liquidate the entire German Empire as the powerful military country. So, it was necessary to tell some bold lies.

      Max of Baden made something absolutely incredible, which Prince and Prime-Minister could never have done. He announced that Kaiser had abducted despite the fact that the latter clearly refused to do so!

      The Head of the German government Prince Max of Baden “fell asleep” in autumn 1918. That time was so crucial for history of Germany that he can be easily convicted of treachery

      In fact, Wilhelm abducted only three weeks after his abduction had been announced![47] And Prince wasn’t just Reichschancellor, he was the cousin of Kaiser. If this was not treachery, what shall treachery be like?

      There are some other “accidental coincidences” assuring us that both our and the German revolution were made with one pattern. February disorders in Petrograd started on February 23, right after the Tsar left for his Headquarters in Mogilev. Eight days later Russia learnt that he had abducted. It was all the same in Germany. On October 28, 1918 Wilhelm left Berlin for his Headquarters in Spa, and twelve days later Germans learnt that they didn’t have a Monarch anymore…

      It is well-known that when the Moor has done his work, the Moor can go. Having appropriated the God’s authority (as the Monarchs were the Lord’s Anointed), Max of Baden instantly announced his retirement and appointment of Ebert, leader of social-democrats, to the Chancellor’s post. At first he ceded his Kaiser, then he ceded his post. In an hour (!) after that the second leader of the social-democratic party Scheidemann extended the revolution even further, having arbitrarily announced Germany a Republic!

      The Government of “the sleeping” Prince Max stayed at power for only a month. And within this period it managed to loose all German allies, and even Germany itself! Later Hitler called these gentlemen proditors and traitors. And it wasn’t only about smooth liquidation of Monarchy.

Not many can give a correct answer, if asked who the Entente and Russia within it were fighting during World War I. Let us remind you that Germany had three allies, which were Austo-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria.
