What did Leon Trotsky believe about the Soviet oligarchy?
Writing in exile, Leon Trotsky believed that the new Soviet government was an oligarchy with Stalin in control of it.

What new class was created under Stalin in the USSR?
The exiled Leon Trotsky never ceased his writings on the new Stalinist Soviet Union. As late as 1939, Trotsky remained a thorn in Stalin's "foot". In fact the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact signed in the Summer of 1939 outraged Trotsky. With that said, Trotsky continued to expose the internal problems of the Soviet Union under Stalin's regime. Trotsky pointed out that a new loyalist Stalinist bureaucratic "class" was a class of exploitation against the Soviet people. Trotsky believed that such a class was never intended to exist after the Bolsheviks consolidated their power in the USSR. He contended that for all practical purposes, the new bureaucracy was an extension of the old Romanov one. The role of the Soviets was to remove this obstacle to socialist progress. Instead, Trotsky wrote, the bureaucracy was now a tool of Stalin to exploit the working peoples of the USSR. This situation impeded all efforts to create a socialist economy within the nation.

How did Leon Trotsky react to the downfall of the German Communist Party?
Leon Trotsky did believe that Karl Marx was correct in assumption that England or Germany were the most likely places for the first communist party. He also believed that the Soviet Union would need the help of another advanced communist nation, such as at least one of the two previously mentioned.When the Nazi Party gained power in Germany, it ended the existence of the German Communist Party. For Trotsky, the defeat of the German "proletariat" ( Trotsky preferred to use this term instead of the word "Party" for political purposes for reasons seen later ) was the most important event since the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. Trotsky did not blame the power of Hitler for this, but instead placed the blame for it on the leadership of the German Communist Party. Trotsky continued to spread blame around for the German problem. He was critical of Pravda for not speaking about it and Pravda saw blame within the Presidium of the Executive Committee of the Communist International. As Trotsky expected, the International took its time to form an opinion. And, decided to place the blame on the Nazi coup d'etat. This of course was not entirely true, as far as Trotsky was concerned. He remain convinced, that the German Party had every chance to destroy fascism but failed, despite all the leverage he believed the Party in Germany had.
