Soviet Offensive Plans Controversy
The Soviet offensive plans controversy was a debate among historians in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as to whether Joseph Stalin had planned to launch an attack against Nazi Germany in the summer of 1941. The controversy started with Viktor Suvorov with his 1980s book ''Icebreaker:'' ''Who started the Second World War?'' where he argued, based on his analysis of historical documents and data, that Stalin used Nazi Germany as a proxy to attack Europe. The thesis by Suvorov that Stalin had planned to attack Nazi Germany in 1941 was refuted by a number of historians, such as Antony Beevor, Gabriel Gorodetsky, David Glantz and Dmitri Volkogonov and was partially supported by Valeri Danilov, Joachim Hoffmann, Mikhail Meltyukhov, and Vladimir Nevezhin.
