but the Russians saved our Hiney’s?

No, not directly.

When Hitler attacked the USSR it turned into one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" things.

Having the Russians, along with their "global cooling", killing a lot of Germans was a help.

We probably would have won without them, but it would have taken a lot longer.

The numbers are the numbers, but many US merchant mariners died in the North Atlantic, getting aircraft and tanks to the Russians.

However, my point is that the Soviets/Russians can hardly take credit for their great sacrifice, when their initial support for Hitler and actually dividing up the war spoils by treaty, mitigate their contribution.
