Since when is saying Russia defeated Germany in WWII controversial?,...

[Jimmy McGill]

They were cruel and vicious and killed much of their officer corps before the war to ward off threats of mutiny, the dictatorial paranoia. I won't argue further re: Soviet's benefit of Lend-Lease. I have studied World War 1 and 2 histories for decades as a hobby sense and formed my thoughts and ideas. BTW, I have virile dislike of the Soviet Union. I admit to being a Imperialist and would have preferred a sympathetic Tsar.

I won't say my positions are absolute in a sense that I can arbitrate this, so I'll keep my opinion. I am knowledgeable of facts and have considerable resources from varied sources, including memoirs and accounts of events published from participants or their staff members of the Allies and Axis.

Actually we should dedicate another thread. I love discussing and debating history. First rule of a history major IMHO, learn from the past to create a better future.
