The difference was that Communists were against all the "privilaged elite", while Nazis were against the "jewish elite". This is why anti-semitism was called the "socialism of fools". Of course, history has now shown all socialism is foolish. US aid prevented the Nazi conquest of the Soviet Union. Some highlights from October 1941: feldgrau.com October 1, 1941: Conclusion of a conference at Moscow between Britain, the U.S. and the Soviet Union with promises of enormous amounts of aid to the Soviet war effort, mostly from the United States. October 2, 1941: Heeresgruppe Mitte begins Operation Taifun, the final attack on Moscow. Heeresgruppe Süd sets out to advance against Kursk and Kharkov. Hitler, in a special order of the day, announces,"Today begins the last decisive battle of this year." October 8, 1941: In a letter to Stalin, President Roosevelt promises U.S. military aid to the Soviet Union. October 9, 1941: Hitler announces that the war in the East, for all intents and purposes, has already been decided in favor of the Reich. - President Roosevelt in a message to Congress urges the repeal of Section 6 of the Neutrality Act which would allow the arming of U.S. merchant ships against "the modern pirates of the sea", the U-boats. October 11, 1941: Rumors of an impending capture of Moscow by the German Army cause thousands of civilians to flee the city. October 16, 1941: Rumanian forces capture the Black Sea port of Odessa.
