Joti Brar speaks with Garland Nixon about the true history of World War 2. Who fought whom and why? Who won and how? And what happened afterwards?

In particular, how did the USSR stand up to a war machine that had toppled the allegedly impregnable French defences with barely a shot fired? What was the position of the world's people regarding the war in 1939? In 1941? How did Britain and the USA end up on the side of the Soviet Union and what did the alliance really consist of?

And later, how did so many fascists remain in high positions in western Europe if WW2 was all about defeating fascism? What happened to the Greek revolution? What happened to avert the rising tide of communism that threatened to overturn the entire machinery of finance capital in Italy, France, Holland, Belgium etc?

Why is Stalin's name a dirty word that elicits an emotional response amongst so many people who have never really studied any aspect of his life and works, who have no idea who he really was and what he did? And who have certainly never read a word that he wrote?

Know your history to understand the world you live in and prepare yourself for the battles to come!
