No one disputes that, taking those Jap held Islands was hell on earth.

Yep The German 6th Army wiped out.
The Soviet Union (as well as the USA, England and France) was trading (and had more or less mutually profitable relations) with Germany since 1918. Both sides saw post-WWI world order as unjustful and unacceptable. It wasn't our responsibility to keep Germany in line. It was responsibility of the WWI winners. And because those winners have been more prone to be in cahoots with Germany and use it against "Russian threat" ("Strong Germany means strong Europe") and against each other - it came to what it came. In 1933 Soviet trade with Germany fell to almost zero.
I neglected the CBI which was almost exclusively Commonwealth troops, mostly Indian and African.
Stop lying about Hitler being an ally of the Soviets, talking of allies i believe the ford plant was still operating in Germany through the war using slave labour, same with Coca Cola and IBM.
The US was the arsenal of democracy, and responsible for keeping many countries in the fight.
Wrong, Hitler and Stalin were allies. Germany and the USSR were allied during the thirties to avoid the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty. Ford of Germany and Opel were separate companies from Ford and General Motors of the USA. IBM in Germany was a subsidiary to International Business machines that was based in the USA. IBM was actually formed in Germany before being sold to US owners. You act like the US headquarters directly operated European subsidiaries and they didn't. The subsidiaries operated under local control and obeyed local laws.
Correct, and my Uncle was one of them, he landed with the 7th battalion Green Howards on Gold Beach, he was killed a few days later beween Bayeux and Caen, i did some research on him, the battalions mission was to cut the road between the Bayeux area to stop the Germans bringing more troops in to engage us in the Caen area, he was killed with seven other men from his battalion they are all burried together in the military cemetery in Bayeux, he was only 17 years old, i always wanted to visit his grave and did a couple of years ago, but you are right it was a huge combined operation including several Nations.
You act like the Soviets invaded Western Europe with Hitler and butchered the jews.
They invaded Poland with the Germans and agreed to split Eastern Europe between them. The Germans couldn’t have invaded Western Europe without Soviet food, steel, coal, oil and other supplies. During Barbarossa, the German Heer units passed Soviet trains headed west into Germany loaded with supplies to feed the German war machine. So yes, Germany and the USSR were allies until Germany turned on the Soviets,
Facts do matter, and the fact is the Soviets signed a non aggression pact with the Germans in 1939 after the West failed to sign a anti Nazi pact with the Soviets, that isn't being a ally, you could say the Brits were allies after Chamberlain came back from Munich in 1938 after signing a deal with Hitler that sold Czechoslovakia down the river that was not worth the toilet paper it was written on.
