    Hitler commands the Germans to invade the Soviet Union in 1941 – this was Hitler’s greatest mistake, but was luck on the Soviets side or was it all just the leader Stalin’s good tactics and leadership? Even though Stalin was a mass murderer and a ruthless leader, he did one thing right. After the Soviets were losing battle after battle Stalin let his commanders fight the war as they knew it, did not interfere with their plan and stuck to his word, unlike Hitler did. Stalin let his commanders be true commanders and did not use them as puppets or for his own use. He was a true leader stuck to his word which is why I think the he was successful at leading his nation to victory. As the war continued the number of errors that Stalin was making got…

    Although Hitler and Stalin both employed a special police force to help control the country under their totalitarian rule, Hitler’s force relied on having secret police everywhere while Stalin relied on having individuals report their friends and coworkers. To control citizens by spying on them and imprisoning them, Hitler employed the use of the Himmler’s SS and the Gestapo political police. The SS initially started off as Hitler’s personal bodyguards, but under Himmler’s command, they evolved into a more powerful force, who were eventually responsible for the Final Solution. The Gestapo, while somewhat similar to the SS, were Hitler’s secret police, who focused on taking down any opposing political opponents, primarily those who went underground after the creation of the one party system in Germany. The Gestapo were responsible for the capture and imprisonment of most opposing political leaders in Nazi Germany. According to the book on Germany, “Denouncers and…

    He worked for only more power and used people to his advantage. Napoleon did not like the idea of Animalism but he liked the idea of him being the most powerful so he created lies that would allow him to be boosted up above the other animals, giving himself the most power. Though Napoleon was not a good public speaker he used animals such as Squealer, a convening speaker who could manipulate words to their advantage. Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin who was a not in agreement to the idea of “communism” but liked the idea of him being in the highest power of authority. He was relentless and murdered anyone who opposed him, though he was a leader he also did not do very well with public speaking nor was he educated well, he only craved power. Stalin also used other speakers but in different ways, through propaganda.…

    This is similar to Animal Farm because only Napoleon had a say on anything on or outside the farm. Like deciding to plow the area where the retired animals were supposed to live after they came of age. Though that area was supposed to be a retirement place Napoleon decided to do what he wanted without letting anyone else state their opinion on this. Then when Napoleon was having some pigs and chickens killed or executed with the nine former puppies that he reeducated they even went after Boxer who has done nothing to oppose or upset Napoleon. This was almost exactly like one of Stalin’s purges. “ An average estimate is that in the Soviet Union as a whole, about 500,000 were executed in 1937-39 and somewhere between 3 and 12 million were sent to labor camps.”(russiapedia) this is just an estimate of the people Stalin had killed or sent to work their life’s away. Some of those people were people of power who could overthrow Stalin however most or the majority were just ordinary people the workers and the peasants. Stalin got rid of all the of churches and religion throughout all of Russia. He did this then used the media to help cover this up and then but statues of himself in the places of former worship. This gave the workers and peasants only one thing to look up to and that was Russia's government and consequently Stalin…

    What is it that brings all dictators together in comparison? Is it their ruthless actions towards others? Could it be their thirst for power? Or maybe it's the fact that all dictators use others to gain for themselves. "He [Napoleon] would only be too happy to let you make your decisions by yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would we be?" (Orwell page 50). These examples prove Napoleon, ruler of Animal Farm, and Pol Pot, ruler of Cambodia, are indeed similar.…

    There were many wars at the time of Stalin’s era. There was a law that any troops that were to retreat were to be shot on target. This is another way Joseph Stalin was a cruel and horrible man. They are in war and if troops were to retreat those troops had no purpose in the first place. Joseph Stalin really is just declaring war on his own troops. Everyone makes mistakes and if those troops made a mistake they have to lose their life. This is another reason why Joseph Stalin should have never been leader. The people still believe that he is a good leader after all these things he has put his own people in.…
