“The Soviet Union had shored up 130 divisions that were preparing for an August Invasion.”
You know why the Soviets were attempting to shore up the border and prepare for a defense against Germany??? BECAUSE HITLER LITERALLY DETAILS HIS PLANS IN MIEN KAMPF. Stalin and the high command discussed this for years leading up to the war.
Also August invasion of what??? Also that is hilariously wrong, that 130 divisions number included border guard units, NKVD security detachments, military police units, and reconnaissance units. Also, the vast majority of the actual combat units stationed near the border were not fully mobilized and were at peacetime strength. Hardly a fighting force able to launch an invasion.
Also if the Soviets were so geared up for an invasion, how come the vast majority of their aircraft were mothballed and being kept in storage? The Germans destroyed thousands of planes on the ground that were completely unprepared. What about anti-aircraft batteries and air defense? Minsk, Brest, Kiev, etc, were devastated by initial German air strikes on the first day and they were nearly completely unopposed. Why were anti aircraft battalions unprepared and not mobilized if the Soviets were preparing for an invasion?
