Reminded of this convo from "The Alliance that never was"

The Soviet press attaché, A. A. Smirnov, was at the German foreign ministry on July 31x and met the deputy head of the press bureau, B. von Stumm. Germany had “no aggressive plans against the Soviet Union,” Stumm said.

“We haven’t forgotten what Hitler wrote in his book [Mein Kampf],” replied Smirnov.

“Ach, that,” exclaimed Stumm, “there’s a big difference between what is said and what is done in practice. The book was written in prison, a long time ago, hastily ... what’s written in that book is out of date, and we shouldn’t take it seriously.”?? But Mein Kampf with its visions of eastern conquest was never far from the Soviet mind.

Fascists get so used to dealing with liberals that they forget communists can actually notice patterns of behaviour.
