Stalin was tricked by Hitler. How did he deal with Tuhachovski?

Baehrendtz came to Prague under a pseudonym, contacted Czech President Benaiser through German immigrant Mibai, and put forward a "special volume" to betray tukhachevsky rebellion. Benaiser believed it and immediately sent a telegram to Stalin.

Soon, Benaiser's liaison officer made direct contact with the representative of heydrich. Moscow plenipotentiary Ezov also flew to Berlin. In order to make the plot more realistic, Hitler asked the Soviet Union for 3 million rubles. However, the Soviet Union paid not only a huge ruble, but a more sensational and heavy price.

1937 On May 20th, tukhachevsky was dismissed from the post of deputy member of the National Defense People's Committee and appointed as commander of the Volga Military Region. This extremely abnormal demotion not only caused various opinions and speculations from the outside world, but even tukhachevsky himself had a sense of foreboding. People can't imagine how this Red Army marshal, who was still with Stalin on May Day, lost Stalin's trust so quickly.

A few days later, Marshal Tuhachovski and his wife Nina? Yevgeny Yevna came to Kazan Railway Station to bid farewell to his comrades. "Marshal, please take care!" "Everything will pass." The comrades-in-arms and subordinates who came to see him off sincerely held his hand, as if injecting the respected man with the power to overcome everything. "Thank you." Tukhachevsky tried to stay calm, but his spirit was destroyed and his former torch-like eyes were eclipsed. Between gestures, a morbid state of fatigue due to aging.

Tukhachevsky took his wife's arm and limped onto the platform. On June 4th, the Volga coastal military region held a political work conference. Tukhachevsky sat on the podium, frowning, pale and exhausted. At this time, he is making a report on military training tasks and current work, which is the last report in his life. With a burst of thunderous applause, tukhachevsky got up slowly and bowed deeply to the audience.

As soon as the meeting was over, Marshal Tuhakovsky was arrested. Almost at the same time, the enlarged meeting of the Soviet Revolutionary Military Commission was held in Moscow. Stalin publicly exposed the "counter-revolutionary military fascist organization" in the Red Army and called for the thorough crushing of the "counter-revolutionary conspiracy" among the soldiers.

On June 38, 1937, Pravda published the news that tukhachevsky and other eight military generals were arrested and handed over to the Military Commission for trial. Everything happened suddenly and quickly. The next day, tukhachevsky and Yakir, commanders of the Kiev Military Region, Ubao Levich, commander of the Belarusian Military Region, Parry Mankov, deputy commander of the Volga Military Region, Kolk, president of the Red Army Military Academy, Friedman, the cadre minister of the Red Army, and edelman and Putna, two commanders, were all executed for committing "espionage and treason".

Tukhachevsky's comrade-in-arms, Gao mulder Nico, vice chairman of the National Defense People's Committee, shot himself when the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to arrest him. The tragedy directed by Hitler caused great losses to the Soviet Red Army. From 1937 to the second half of 1938, three of the five Soviet marshals were lost, 14 of the six military commanders, 60 of the 67 heads, and10 of the 99 teachers. A total of 35,000 outstanding Red Army officers and men at all levels were suppressed. At this point, the Soviet Red Army was greatly weakened! Hitler laid a certain foundation for attacking the Soviet Union and weakening the other side's command.

Stalin's trust in German fascism not only made him lose a group of outstanding and loyal Red Army commanders, but also provided favorable conditions for Hitler to attack the Soviet Union. Sure enough, it was not long before Hitler tore up the Soviet-German peace agreement and once captured most of the territory of the Soviet Union.
