I know Russia did a lot of the work, but a fireman cannot put out a fire without water. Russia was the fireman, America was the water.
I know Russia did so much, but so did America, it was a combined effort, with America and Russia the most important, each in their seperate fronts, Russia was Europe, America was the Pacific. Without either, Britain would have been crushed eventually.
I also am a history buff, and know almost everything about that conflict, aswell as all the others, so I know alot about it, and I have got my facts straight, I was just saying I hate it when people say Russia did everything. Casualties doesn't mean a country did the most in a war, it was how many numbers the enemy killed, and before you say most of the German deaths were on the eastern front, yet America took more prisoners, and I don't believe tortured their prisoners, which Russia did, and American soldiers didn't rape as many women and girls as Russian soldiers did, and Russia was just piggybacking in the pacific war. Yes, I know it wasn't about glory, but still, I hate it when a single country is said as doing it all, and the allies were forced into it, and poor Britain was forced to fight from summer 1940 to the summer of 1941, an entire year of resisting bombings, fighting alone, and hunting down the Bismarck(which was a major turning point in the war at sea), while Russia had to fight on its own for five months to prevent it from falling. I know that Russia did alot of the work, but people seem to disregard America's help in Europe, where it's lend leases and great assistance allowed the Allies to win, while Russia was unneeded in Japan, America would have eventually defeated Japan without Russia, its entry just speeded up the defeat.
I don't want this to turn into a Russian vs. American involvement in WWII, just stating that every country did its part, and did it D*** well! Plus, America took the heaviest losses at Normandy, more then twice that of Canada and Britain combined, the troops at Omaha were caught in a bloody battle, yet American heroism won Omaha, against all the odds, and America assisted greatly in the capture of Germany, and the liberation of Dachau, while Britain did the same with Belsen, and Russia at Auschwitz. Also, the Canadians led the liberation of Holland. So I know of the massive contribution of Russia to the allies, but it also was originally Germany's ally, it did much the same thing to the poles that Germany did. So Russia, while it contributed greatly, it's actions should not overshadow those of America, Britain, Canada, Australia, India, and China. I may have looked like I was simply supporting America, but I was also saying that all the other western allies contributed greatly. And Russia didn't liberate the east, it SUBJUGATED them, it forced Communist governments in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, and Yugoslavia, while it never gave the Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians independence until 1991, so the west actually liberated their countries, Russia enslaved them.
