Joseph Stalin Received Early Warnings of Hitler’s Invasion.

One of the interesting facts about Joseph Stalin is that he received an early warning about Hitler's invasion. Hitler signed a deal with the Soviet Union before to annexing Western and Southern Europe in order to stop Stalin from invading Germany. Hitler started to focus on Russia's vast expanses after capturing several European nations. Stalin started to get several alerts about Hitler's plans as he started to concentrate his soldiers at the Russian border. Stalin was warned by the British, French, and even his own Secret Police, but he ignored the warnings as untrue rumors.

Hitler was widely respected by Stalin, particularly for the way he used the Night of the Long Knives to remove rivals inside the Nazi Party. Stalin, however, understood the danger that fascism posed and worked to improve relations with Western Europe's liberal democracies.A mutual assistance agreement between the Soviet Union, France, and Czechoslovakia was signed in May 1935.

The Soviet government pushed Marxists-Leninists to join forces with other leftists as part of the popular front against fascism at the 7th Congress of the Communist International, which took place in July-August 1935. The Anti-Communist Treaty of 1936 was subsequently ratified by the anti-communist governments of Germany, fascist Italy, and Japan.

Hitler's primary focus in 1942 changed from achieving a decisive victory on the Eastern Front to capturing oil fields in the southern Soviet Union that were essential to a long-term German war effort. Stalin regarded this as a flanking maneuver in a fresh attempt to seize Moscow when the army noticed signs that Hitler would concentrate his efforts in the south.
