What Stalin told his generals of plans to attack Germany — Dec 2002

I HAVE received the videotape from the 2002 Real
History Conference at Cincinnati, which included your own
lecture and Eric Mueller’s. I enjoyed it
thoroughly. It was well worth the cost and the wait.

On a different subject, I have an inquiry concerning your new edition of Hitler’s
War. On pages 381 and 382 are references to two secret speeches given by Josef Stalin

on May 5,
1941, including quotations from those speeches. In your notes on page 880, you indicate that these speeches are reported in the AA [Auswärtiges Amt] files and were known to Ribbentrop, Göring, and Weichs. I am curious to know how secret speeches by Josef Stalin ended up in the German archives and how National
Socialist officials learned of them.
