It wasn't a lie. In fact the Germans did extensive training in Russia prior to WWII.
So much so that Stalin stopped trusting his generals and killed off most of his good ones prior to the beginning of the war, including Tucachevsky who was the Soviet version of Guderian.
Like I said, you pay far too much attention to wiki.
So why, pray tell, did the Germans invade the Soviet Union? Why did the Nazis eliminate all communist party members and officials first?
Why can't you see it was all a ploy to gain Marxist trust, just to backstab them later in 1941?
You're stuck in your ways, and that's fine. You do you, pal.
