What cannot be denied, however, is that while we did the building, they did the dying. In massive, unbelievable numbers.

Most of them unnecessarily because of Stalin's incompetence and callous disregard for the lives of his soldiers.

Yeah. The revisionism going on here is on the part of the Russophiles and Russkie plants who seem to think that getting killed in human wave attacks against what was probably the best land army in the world -- the Germans, each of whom was worth about three Russians -- means you did the most important work strategically.

No, it just means you got a lot of your guys killed.
