The book reveals what each soldier went through and why he continued to fight.

Each one of them is an ordinary human being just like us.

However, the environment in which they were raised, the Soviet propaganda, the Nazi invasion, the scene of extreme violence that was so tragic, and the extreme circumstances of war that if they did not do it, they would be killed, motivated them.

A person has the potential to be anything. Depending on the circumstances, people can commit atrocities with impunity. Even if you think you are a good person, you never know what you might do. This book makes you think about that.

This article will present the "abstract" written by the author at the end of this book.

This passage describes the purges by Stalin and the Holocaust by Hitler.

The history of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union is also clearly explained, so you can also learn about the German-Soviet war from the perspective of both sides.

Looking only at the history of one country does not give us a complete picture of the events that took place there.

This is a very important point. The author looks at the individual events of this period from many different angles. Instead of looking at historical events as dots, he looks at them as planes, that is, the complex world situation of the time.

While there are many works that study the Holocaust, few books discuss it from multiple perspectives in the context of the process of the struggle for hegemony with the Soviet Union and international affairs.

No matter how much knowledge you have about a single thing, that alone is not enough to understand history.

This is true not only for the genocide of Stalin and Hitler, but also for history, ideology, culture, religion, and everything else.

I think this point made by the author is a very important one.

In Bloodland: The Truth About Hitler and Stalin's Genocide, we will reveal that the tragedy of the genocide that occurred during the German-Soviet War was made more tragic by the interrelationship between the Nazis and the Soviet Union. Although Nazi atrocities alone tend to be highlighted in world history, they do not provide a complete picture of Nazi actions.

The book is unique in that it looks at the reality of the Holocaust from the larger perspective of the Nazis and the Soviet Union.

The great thing about this book is that it doesn't simply dismiss it as "the Nazis were abnormal, cruel, and bad people," but instead looks at the bigger picture and why humans did what they did.

Why did Stalin starve or shoot his own people to death in large numbers? It was a great mystery to me why he was able to kill people in such a brutal way that he did not consider them human, even though they were the same Soviets.

The book "Bloodland: The Truth about Hitler and Stalin's Genocide" was the best answer to that question.

There are so many shocking things in this book that the translator would like to say that it is hard to read. But that is why I think it is necessary to read this book to learn about history.
