If the Russians hadn’t spent millions of lives, we never would have beaten Hitler.
It doesn’t mean I am a commie for God’s sake.
Sometimes the ignorance around here is staggering.
“If the Russians hadn’t spent millions of lives, we never would have beaten Hitler.”
That’s nonsense. Hitler and NAZI Germany were destined to be defeated by the Western Allies in 1945-1946 with or without the Soviet Union and with or without the atomic bomb. The strategies would had to have been different, but the outcome was certain to be the same with the collapse of Germany’s defenses.

No, of course not, but you have made an uncritical acceptance of the Russian propaganda circulating in the Western media. If you investigate the details you find the oft repeated claim simply doesn’t hold up.
“Sometimes the ignorance around here is staggering.”
That is true, and your uncritical acceptance of the so oft repeated claim of the Soviet participation being indispensable arguably qualifies as such.
“If the Russians hadn’t spent millions of lives, we never would have beaten Hitler...It doesn’t mean I am a commie for God’s sake.”
YEA IT DOES!!!! Do you understand that ANYTHING you say good about the Russians, on this site (such as the government trying to keep the society from going all gay), labels you as a TRAITOR.
Just looking at military production in the last few years of WW2 tells me Hitler was destined to lose, did Russia make beating them easier?
Heck yes. That’s why we sent them millions and millions and millions of tons of war materiel. Germany having to fight on extra fronts made things much better for us. But that happened because Germany invaded Russia, the idiots.
“If the Russians hadn’t spent millions of lives, we never would have beaten Hitler.”
You forget we could have delivered atomic weapons to Europe by the fall of 1945.
