| Topic | Why do the history books try to demonize Stalin? |

I get fed up reading about Hitler's "economic miracle" between 1933-38. Hitler was shrewd enough in his early years of government to leave certain affairs in the hands of the professionals instead of trying to micromanage them himself, yet he unaccountably gets lauded for any of the successes for which the regime took credit as if he was some kind of genius instead of simply a delegator. Germany's wartime record reflects that as soon as the former corporal began to delude himself that he was a strategic commander of godlike wisdom and tinkered compulsively in military matters, things started to go off the rails for the Wehrmacht. Nazi economic performance during the recovery looked spectacular only when compared against the very low baseline of the Depression years. By 1935 German GDP in real terms had recovered to roughly the same level it had stood at in 1928 -- and in terms of the rate of growth, this wasn't as strong as the rebound from the Weimar Republic's first serious recession over the winter of 192627, when the twelve-month growth rate was higher than at any time during the Third Reich. --- Slaughterhouse 5 Cattle 0 ...
