Not really. WW II began when Russia and Germany allied together to carve up Poland. Stalin was an arsonist who was nearly consumed by the fire that he helped set. The Poles suffered worse human and material losses than the Russians or anyone else, and Russia survived only due to massive US aid in weapons, food, and finances.
“So true. The Second World War in Europe was won on the backs of the Russians.”
GIVE ME A BREAK!
It was our insdustrial might, our intelligence groups, brave military and a couple of nukes that won the war.
That is false.
The Second world war STARTED with the Russians being allies of Nazi Germany, and together the Russians and Germans invaded Poland.
The Russianwere allies of Nazi Germany for 2 years supplying Hitler with the oil and gas his war machine needed to invade western Europe.
In 1944, in the east what happened was that one tyrant - Nazi Germany- was defeated by another tyrant, Soviet Russia. For people east of the iron wall, world war two ended onky in 1990 when the Russian yoke was removed
