When we think of WWII, spare a moment for our allies too.
1.3 million Chinese soldiers, between 17 and 22 million civilians.
14.5 Soviet Union military casualties, between 20 and 35 million civilians. Soviets lost over a million 2nd lieutenants as they destroyed 80% of the German Army.
Soviet peoples paid a heavy price for Stalin’s deal with Hitler.
