who does mr frederick represent in animal farm

Mr. Frederick in Animal Farm represents Adolf Hitler and, more broadly, Nazi Germany. He is the ruthless owner of Pinchfield Farm, known for his cruel , calculating nature and for driving very hard bargains, which mirrors Hitler’s aggressive, manipulative politics. Orwell signals the parallel most clearly through the way Napoleon (Stalin/USSR) first denounces Frederick, then suddenly makes a timber deal with him, just as the Soviet Union signed the Nazi–Soviet Pact with Hitler. Frederick then pays for the timber with forged banknotes and launches a violent attack on Animal Farm, destroying the windmill, echoing Hitler’s betrayal of the pact and invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II.
