Re: Any dispute about interpreting the BofB?

Everything you say is correct, Evgeny.

Hitler believed Britain refused to make peace because Churchill expected Russia to save Britain. Therefore destroying Stalin was the key to Lebensraum and peace with Britain.

The problem we have is that we cannot be sure that all of the documents about the British peace party have been published.
This is because the Royal Family were involved.
The Hess documents have been placed in the Royal Archive where they are legally immune from FOI legislation.
It is also possible that Churchill knew Hitler was bluffing about Seeloewe from Enigma decrypts.

If only the Russian archives would be opened to reveal what Stalin was told by the British spies (Blunt, Philby, Rothschild etc) about British knowledge of Hitler's intentions.

Russia was a target for Hitler since his (Hitlers) book "MK".
He decided to invade to USSR before FC ended, and far before BofB started.
