Assad congratulates Putin on the 71st anniversary of Russia’s victory over Nazi Germany

[numan]

If Russia had rolled over Britain would have fallen very quickly.

Would the US have got involved on those terms ?

Anyone who imagines that the Soviets did not win the war is ignorant of history.

That is why so many Americans think that the Americans won it. >>>

The Soviets did gain some essential aid from the Yanks and the Brits --- not enough and very late!!

However, a good case could be made that, fundamentally, Hitler's dumb decisions won the war for the Allies.

Cold War American history described the war in Europe as the Battle of Britain, D Day, Battle of the Bulge and our allowing the Soviets to take Berlin

No mention of Moscow, Lenningrad, Stalingrad or Kursk

That is the WWII Americans know
