"The Russians truly carried the war to Germany in a way the Western Allies could not."

That sounds straight out of Pravda.

How many weeks was Patton's army ordered to sit on their haunches so that the "Russians" could take Berlin.

Ah - incidentally, it was not Russians but the First Ukrainian Front that was thrown into the breech by Stalin (as they were in Stalingrad too).

Get your facts straight. The Poles and Ukrainians would have paved the way to Moscow for Pattons Army.

LMAO!!! Spannie - surely even YOU know that the "fronts" were named in accordance to what they were going to defend and NOT by who manned the divisions. Or, are you saying that Marshals Zhukov and Konev (Ukrainian Front commanders) were Ukrainian? Thanks for the laugh - evidently you fell into your own trap "Ukrainian" good, everything else bad! Here is spannie endorsing the Soviet Army!!!

How about rooting for America every once and a while? Or is your Ukraine just way too important that you have to put America in second place?
