I’ll quote Patton on how deaths contribute to winning a war: You don’t win a war by dying for your country. You win a war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Russia made the biggest sacrifice. We made the biggest contribution.

The people of the Soviet Union suffered greatly in WW2, but much of that suffering is a result of the Soviet tactics that “shockingly” valued gains over lives lost….
Soviet history barely recognizes the contributions of the west in defeating Nazi germany, esp the critical supplies sent to Soviets from the US.

Logistics as they say

Typical Russian mir.

Hey numbnuts. Where’d ya get all those trucks jeeps and planes and ammo.

After you split up Poland with Hitler you fell asleep. Your sorry asses we’re saved by the other allies who should have left you twist in the wind.

We supplied Russia with materials so they could even stay in the fight. In the meantime, the USA single-handedly took down the Imperial Japanese, which Russia should also thank us for.

America was the world leader of the war and took on the Axis powers globally using all resources available in the world in manpower resources and geography and funneling materials and or men to wherever they were needed for the big picture, for total war, Russia was an element but not the big boys of WWII.

When Pearl was attacked my father was in Borneo and started the fight against the Japanese, later he was fighting out of Brazil interdicting supply efforts on the seas delivering to Germany and Italy, at the end he was off the shore of France supporting the landings of operation Dragoon, and then he was preparing for the invasion of Japan.

Without the United States who knows how WWII would have been fought, unfolded, progressed and ended, and it goes far beyond mere additional men and materials.

Germany had enemies primarily on 2 fronts. Without the US, the European front would have been gone, and they’d have had a great deal more ability to fight Russia.

Conversely, without the eastern front, Germany might well have been able to defend Western Europe successfully.

I contend that both US and Russia were necessary to defeat the Nazis.

We supplied the USSR with massive amounts of war materials. Even in Russian documentaries Studebaker deuce-and-a-half’s can be seen hauling equipment and men. Without this massive aid Hitler may have held the Eastern Front much longer.

The US ability to manufacture war materials exceeded any and all other nations. That’s why the NWO wanted to cripple our manufacturing ability by sending it to China. They no longer want us to be capable of long term warfare.

The reason Patton was not allowed to end Russia is because the Military Industrial Complex needs a forever enemy!!

US Big Banks, Industrialists, the US Government did fund the Soviets, and even the Soviet Revolution. We also funded the Nazis per Anthony Sutton’s “Wall Street Trilogy”. We only entered the war late to make certain both sides paid us!

Without the American supply chain the Russians would be speaking German. Starving people don’t fight.

After Stalin starved the Ukrainians they welcomed the Nazies as saviors. Which is where today’s BS started.

As far as the European theater goes this is correct. Russia’s part was vastly larger than ours.

If not for the Non-Aggression Pact, Hitler doesn’t invade Poland.

And why didn’t the Soviet Union ally with Britain and France, and instead allied with Hitler?

Hitler promised them half of Poland. The Soviets demanded Poland as a condition of allying with Britain and France.

Trump is right, but do you actually think that Russia or any other country would sit back and let anyone, even President Trump say that comment and not challenge it? They’d be stupid if they didn’t say anything in support of their own country’s performance in that war.
