The rest is history. Imagine if the allies did not kiss Stalin's butt and give half of Germany and Eastern Europe to the maniac? Stalin and the Soviets murdered more people than Hitler and the Nazis. Communism should have been destroyed just as Nazism was. It is hard to comprehend that one reason that we invaded France was for the benefit of Stalin opening another front.
It would have just expedited the Mohammedan takeover of Europe.
We didn’t exactly “give” those places to the USSR.
The USSR did almost all the heavy lifting in the European theater. We get such crappy history education in this country that most people here don’t seem to understand that the USSR is overwhelmingly responsible for the defeat of Nazi Germany. The scale of the war on the “eastern front” is unparalleled in history and is very unlikely to ever be repeated again.
The end of the Nazi regime was determined at Stalingrad and Leningrad (St. Petersburg), not on the beaches of France.
Tell it to Audie Murphy. He invaded France from the south. Some say he was involved in some fighting.
Jackass.
Seems Yalta 1945 was more of a catastrophe for the allies vs Russia..
It is hard to comprehend that one reason that we invaded France was for the benefit of Stalin opening another front. .............................. You can thank FDR and his advisors (cabinet) for allowing Stalin the benefit. Stalin wasn’t liberating anyone, he was conquering.
But the US and UK governments were riddled with communists as were the Big Media; FDR himself was quite the socialist. Communism was "good", National Socialism was "bad" (because it competed with Communism).
McCarthy was right.
Patton being told to shut up shows PC was already in play in 1945. Patton wanted to take on the Russians.
Almost impossible militarily, definitely impossible politically. We just finished a war that cost hundreds of thousands of American lives all over the world and spent God-knows-how-much money and materiel to do it. You really think there was any will left in the US to carry on the war against the fully mobilized USSR forces (that were our allies up to that point) that had spent 20 million lives and were ready/willing to sacrifice far more if needed? Hell no. Fighting the Soviets post-WW2 is a BS fantasy that, thankfully, never happened.
