re: #201 Vicious Babushka

I would add also that a lot more RUSSIAN soldiers died in WW2 so that AMERICANS could enjoy FREEDOM.

If I was Stalin* I’d have been pretty damn pissed about the failure of the Allies to establish a wide-scale second front before D-Day during which Russia bore the brunt of the Nazi offensive. Says a lot about the Nazi military build up during the ‘30’s and it’s abilities that it could more or less hold the West at bay for three years while also launching a full-scale invasion of Russia.

*Not that I feel sorry for Stalin exactly…he signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and was a butcher in his own right, etc. But the Russian people suffered greatly (a huge understatement).
