< World War II - The Choice (4) >
May 31, 1941
US East Coast, New York – A building owned by the Workers Party of the United States (WPUS)
At the time when Wilhelm II’s health was worsening.
Leon Trotsky, a titan of communism on par with Stalin, was reading the newspaper, trembling.
“The Soviet Union, collapsing? It can’t be, it can’t be….”
The European war situation was making headlines daily: the Soviet Army, defeated by the French-Finnish Allied Forces in Finland, had suffered another crushing defeat by the German-Polish Allied Forces in Poland, surrendering all occupied territories, and the Allied Forces had begun to push into Belarus and Ukraine.
With a full-scale uprising erupting in Ukraine and the Soviet Army failing to properly respond to the cooperating Allied Forces, so-called military experts in America claimed it was only a matter of time before the Soviet Union collapsed against the Allied Forces.
Trotsky felt a wave of vertigo and slumped into his chair.
