" Christmas Day is coming to a close . Stalin finishes his thank-you notes and then turns his attention to reading dispatches from the Battle of the Bulge . He suspects that Adolf Hitler is preoccupied with the Western Front , and perhaps thinks that the Soviet army is using the winter weather to regroup and refortify .
If that is the case , Hitler is wrong . Even at this very minute , the Soviets are hitting the Germans hard in Czechoslovakia and Hungry . and once these nations are wrested from Hitler's grasp , Stalin has every intention of pushing north into the heart of Berlin --- planning to get there before the American and British dash , so that he can have all the glory .
If all goes according to plan , Eastern Europe will soon be under the control of the Soviet Union . Stalin's troops are not liberating people from the Nazis , they are enslaving them .
With the Americans and British bogged down in Eastern France , Joseph Stalin orders his armies to step up their attacks in order to expand his global empire .
The race is on . "
