History Channel's 'World Wars' Ad Says WWII Made Stalin a
Tyrant

A television ad seen near Sunset
and Cahuenga in Hollywood
offers this compelling tagline.
"WWI Made Stalin a Man. WWII Made Him a
Tyrant."
The event in question is The History Channel's The World Wars, a
three-day presentation kicking off at 9 p.m. EST May 26. The teleplay covering
both world wars follows "a 30-year global struggle. A fight that will
either save the world—or destroy it," according to the channel's press
materials.
So why use a misleading tagline to
tease the production? Joseph Stalin's
tyrannical ways began before the start of the second World War.
Marion Smith, Executive Director
of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, pins the blame on the
country’s general ignorance regarding communism and its impact.
“What [the public] knows is very
far from the truth,” Smith says.
As for Stalin’s pre-WWII measures,
consider the monstrous Holodomor in the early 1930s as a prime example of a
tyrannical regime. Stalin's Ukrainian policies resulted in massive death tolls.
A country known as a European breadbasket suddenly couldn't feed its citizens.
The Soviets let some food rot while much was sold to the West to fill the
government's coffers. Stalin's collectivist policies, combined with a ruthless
enforcement policy, doomed millions.
Smith adds that some fertile farm land
was sectioned off by barbed wire so famished Ukrainians couldn't reach the food
within. Those somehow able to access the fields were shot, a “policy that came
from the top,” Smith says. Landowners who managed to oversee prosperous farms
despite those conditions were often targeted for death by the government.
Breitbart News reached out to The
History Channel for comment and context on the ad campaign. Through a
spokesperson, the channel sent this explanation:
THE WORLD WARS tells the story of
three devastating decades of war told through the eyes of the powerful men who
held the fate of humankind in their hands. We focus on men like Roosevelt,
Hitler, Churchill and Stalin (among
others) and how these individuals came of age in World War I before ultimately
changing the history of mankind during World
War II. Over the course of three nights, we take an unflinching look at
these world figures and viewers will get a clear picture of Stalin's ruthless
rise to power in the Communist Party
through WWI, and his vicious tyranny which grew even more despotic through WWII.
