And in a first, in today's parade, American, British and French soldiers will be marching.
The sacrifices of the Soviet people in the war have, for decades, not been given much credit in the West. Neither has the efforts of the Western allies been given much recognition in Russia.
Hopefully, that is all changing.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Over 75% of all German casualties in WWII came at the hands of the Soviets. If the Allies had been facing the entire Wehrmacht at Normandy rather than what remained after the majority of the German military had been chewed up in the Soviet meatgrinder, the history of what happened afterward would have been far, far different...
ReplyDeleteThat said, clearly the Soviets could never have taken the battle back to the Germans without the U.S. assistance. The Germans left a devastated wasteland behind them, taking even the rails and railroad ties back to Germany with them. The Soviets were dependent upon railroads for the logistical support of their armies... no railroads, no logistics. No logistics, you're not crossing that devastated wasteland in any kind of force without a lengthy delay to rebuild railroads across it. Well, unless suddenly you have a hundred thousand or so duece-and-a-half trucks unloaded at Murmansk...
