LOL. That's comical.
It's funny how Americans think we sailed in and saved the day.
Russia was invaded by Germany in 1941. D-Day didn't go down until 1944. Germany surrendered in 1945. Do the math. The Russians pushed back the Nazis all the way from Moscow back to Berlin. We basically fought a one year rear guard action.
Russia lost twenty-four million people during WWII. The US lost 400k, which includes what we lost in the Pacific fighting Japan. Staggering difference.
