    Yes, but the hardcore Wanna-be American Badasses don’t bring up The Russians did most of the fighting, and lost millions and millions of men.

    Not defending Russia today, I’m not a tankie, but just acknowledging they fought, and fought hard, for a long time in WW2.

      Yeah the eastern front was brutal.

      One thing that people don’t really mention though is that the USSR figures include all the republics. Something like 20% of the USSR deaths in WW2 were Ukrainians.

      The Eastern Front was brutal, to ignore it as a major part of the war spits on the graves of a truly staggering amount of dead soldiers.
