" Many had doubted that Hitler could rout opposition parties in Germany , but had not he done that ? Few thought he could corral dissidents and Jews alike , but had not he done that ? And who could fail to be impressed by his nearly complete control of Europe from the English Channel to the Balkans ? In fact , the more he had considered it , the more reasons he had to invade the Soviet Union now . Britain refused to be beaten , and remained a defiant force . For all his timidity , Roosevelt appeared to be paving the way for an eventual military confrontation and would be in a position , as Hitler himself acknowledged , ' to intervene from 1942 onwards . ' And though the Soviet Union remained a member of the Tripartite Pact , Hitler despised Bolsheviks and believed the Soviet Union was being ruled by ' the International Jew . ' He also was convinced that the Soviet Union was ripe for the picking , and he imagined that its suffering , superstitious people pined for the old days of the czars and were waiting for an opportunity to cast away the iron hand of the Bolsheviks .
