So the Germans fighting the Soviets were the last to surrender. Big deal! Eisenhower and his noble, fighting Yanks and Brits had already beaten the Germans.

Once again, you cite Wikipedia, an unreliable source.

How about the war in the Pacific? You will likely argue that the Soviet declaration of war on Japan and subsequent invasion of Japanese territory was the decisive action that brought about the Allied victory.

World War II was essentially a Russian victory, something conservatives are reluctant to admit because the Russians were “commies.” But although we make a big deal of our “victories” on D-Day and at the Battle of the Bulge, those are like minor skirmishes compared to Stalingrad. Stalin may have been a “commie,” but he saved the world from Hitler, and for that, we should be grateful.
