On June 22nd, 1941, Nazi Germany (an its Catholic allies) launched a devastating ‘scorched earth’ invasion of the Western USSR – determined to wipe-out the Slavic-race and eliminate the Socialist ideology from the planet! Stalin also mentions that the only ally the Soviet union had at the time is the ‘United Kingdom’ – a small island situated just of off Western Europe! Stalin points-out that if such a small island (and its people) can hold-out this long with NO allies (nearly two-years) – then so can the Soviet Union if the people follow this example of collective resistance! Most of the men and women you see here – marched straight to their deaths – and they did this so that you and me could live freely without the fear of fascism!
