I was just reading a history of WWII, and it said that the US and
the Soviet Union worked together against Hitler. Now, this couldn't
possibly be true. After all, the Soviets were communists and atheists,
while the US was capitalistic and full of religious types---virtual
opposites!

I guess they didn't show the part where Russia and Germany were
allies until Hitler decided to break that treaty and attack Russia.

They weren't really allies in WW2, but both had plans on other neighboring countries. More of a co-op you might say, until Germany dropped a turd in the punchbowl.

What do you make of the recent tendency of history shows to present Russia much more valiant in WW2 than previously ever discussed?
