1935: Britain seeks freedom of development for Nazi navy to direct it to USSR
In the process of nurturing Nazi forces in Germany between Britain and the United States had a kind of division of labor. London has largely focused on the political and diplomatic fueling of the Third Reich. Did everything to bring out the leaders of the NSDAP, which in 1928 numbered only 100 thousand members. For comparison: the Communist Party of Germany, not beloved by the authorities, had about 400 thousand people in its ranks in the fall of 1923. An important goal for the Anglo-Saxons was also to provide aggressive political marginals with the right to legitimately increase its military power. Negotiations "on the basis of recognition of equality Germany in Arms "(the Nazi elite did not even expect such freedom) began in 1934, and the USSR was well aware of them from the reports of the Soviet embassy in London. One of the means for this was the conclusion of the Anglo-German naval agreement of 1935, which equalized the Kriegsmarine in tonnage with the French and Italian fleets, that is, for the first time fixed on paper the equality between the victorious powers and the loser of World War I by Germany.
British and American banks financed development the defense industry of Hitler's Germany, and London's diplomacy, with support from France, strongly encouraged Hitler's movement to the east.
1922: Rapallic Treaty between Russia and Germany
The Anglo-Saxon elites set themselves the task of preventing the strengthening of relations between Moscow and Berlin, setting Germany against the USSR Union created at the end of 1922. The USA and Britain, with their plans for world domination, were unprofitable for the rapprochement and cooperation of the Weimar Republic and Soviet Russia. The Treaty of Rapalla of 1922 concluded by Russia and Germany during the Genoa Conference and their subsequent steps towards partnership in the military-technical and industrial fields strengthened the possibility of forming a pact against the Anglo-Saxons.
And in the ruling circles of Berlin at that moment it was enough many supporters of a balanced line in relation to the Soviets. Thus, the commander of the ground forces of the Reichswehr, Colonel-General H. von Sekt, argued in the early 1920s that " Entente is very interested in using Germany against Russia. However, if Germany starts a war against Russia, it will wage a hopeless war. " Such sentiments disturbed and irritated the Anglo-Saxons.
They were also worried about the presence of a powerful Communist Party (KKE) in Germany led by E. Telman, who ran for president twice. The Social Democratic camp clearly lacked its own forces to strangle the Communists. It was necessary to inspire the emergence of such a political wing that could destroy the KKE without any regard for morality, law and public opinion.
