By December 1939, the UK was already at war with Nazi Germany, but not with the US. Furthermore, Hitler had not yet successfully invaded Western Europe. In the years leading up to this time, the UK (and other Western powers) has indulged Hitler and his Nazi regime, giving away territory and entire countries as virtual gifts! Britain’s Winston Churchill was ironically particularly admiring of Hitler, with the British and American governments hinting a ‘clear hand in the East’ should Hitler turn his armies toward the USSR and destroy its Marxist-Leninist regime. At this time the USSR was not ready to confront Hitler and the Soviet Government cleverly turned the tide on the likes of Churchill (and the anti-Soviet French) by generating the conditions for a ‘free hand in the West’ should Hitler decide to attack the Western (capitalist) democracies. This policies bought nearly two extra crucial years for the Red Army to modernise and mobilise. In effect this Soviet policy guaranteed the Allied vistory over Fascism – led as it was by the USSR!
