Answer 1

Italy had no border in common with Soviet Russia and no desire to get involved in that mistake. Japan did have a border area, but Russia had nothing they wanted worth the trouble it would take to win it. The Japanese preferred to go for the natural resources in China and southeast Asia. Russia and Japan agreed not to fight in 1941 - so each could concentrate on other enemies. Russia finally declared war on Japan only in the last days of WWII as part of an agreement with the United States, and that was only after Nazi Germany had been destroyed.
I've always like the Luger. I would just do a search for "Luger" or whatever weapon you prefer.

Answer 2

Neutrality p.c... Japan and Russia signed a Neutrality p.c... The Soviets broke the Neutrality p.c.. on 9 August, 1945. Stalin had given america a promise that he could delivery Russian protection stress forces (by ability of the Trans-Siberian railway) to the Pacific conflict to invade Japan, precisely 3 months after Germany had surrendered. This became an extremely necessary ingredient that brought about Japan's determination to end WW2.

Answer 3

The USSR and Japan ended hostilities BEFORE Germany launched it’s war on the USSR. Japan was defeated and could only turn to the Sea from then on.

The USSR had a large contingent of forces of me in the Far East along with the most advanced aircraft at that time to meet Japanese forces.

In order for the USSR to buy enough time to transfer forces to the West against Germany, an ingenious plan would be needed in the West.

The USSR would use what forces it had to create “lines”. When Axis forces would punch through one of these lines, the line would fall back and meet up with the line behind it, making it thicker. This would continue until the the lines accumulated and would be a sheer wall blocking off Moscow and slowing down the Axis forces for reinforcement’s.

The Germany forces on the Eastern front were composed of MANY MANY nations. German, Italian, British, French, Polish and even RUSSIAN!.

Answer 4

Japan was occupied w/ defeating the Americans in the Pacific campaign, although they had troops throughout Southeastern Asia. Russia was more concerned w/Germany and the invasion of Stalingrad as there were more troops and equipment than Italy had. Mussolini was never in the same league as Hitler for being a military dictatorl

Answer 5

The answer to your question is resources. None of the Axis powers had enough men, equipment, and supplies to sustain a prolonged war.

When Germany invaded the Soviet Union they were months behind their original plan. Their original plan was to take advantage for the warm summer months to reduce the amount of food, fuel, and clothing needed to take Moscow. Cold weather makes a soldier eat more. Not to mention you need fuel for transportation and just staying warm. The entire German war economy was based on rationing materials. They just did not have enough materials.

Japan was also at a loss for men and material. Half of the Japanese forces were in China and Korea. This was where Japan was getting most of their raw material such as iron, wood and even rice. The other half was trying to hold the islands of the South Pacific. Japan got oil from Indonesia. They also controlled most of the shipping lanes from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. This was key to their control and keeping safe lines of supplies. But they had a problem. For all the population growth Japan had in the early 20th century, they still did not have enough men to expand beyond what they had taken. They still lacked supplies such as fuel and ammunition for weapons. Japan had no mean to expand beyond what they had taken. Keep in mind most of the iron Japan had they bought as scrap iron from America.

Italy could not invade Russia because they lost many troops. They were poorly trained and their officers made bad decisions. Many Italian were taken prisoner in North Africa where they then sent to the United States as POWs. The other problem was Italy tried to invade the Balkans. They failed at this and asked Germany for help. Germany gave them the help the Italians asked for but it cost them. They were delayed on invading the Soviet Union.

Answer 6

Japan wasn't in the war when Russia was attacked. Japan came into the war later. Italy did attack Russia - or rather, Italian troops were with the German troops when they attacked Russia.
