Russians always tell me that Americans take too much credit for ourselves even though we didn’t lose as many lives...and i’m like...isn’t that the point?

The two fronts were very different. Men died on both fronts but the Eastern front was an example of two evil men trying to destroy each other.

The Battle of Kursk, had 6,000 tanks, 2 million men and 5,000 aircraft. Not to even mention the rape and civilian murder on both sides. Women were raped in front of their men and crucified on barn walls in retaliation for what the Germans did. I don't think any American units did that.

Here is a great podcast series by a guy named Dan Carlin. He really puts the Eastern Front in perspective.

Here's a great sample. I actually bought all his podcasts. This one is free online. I promise that anybody that loves history will love this podcast.

Let’s see, one side will take good care of you, and the other will most likely rape your women, which one do you think the Germans would fight harder against?

Soviets lost 100,000 just in the Battle of Berlin alone, had the Western allies gone in, it would have been a cake walk.
