Whatbaoutery.
It’s actually a giant piss-take you daft cunt.
Another thread where it gets harder to bother to read.
I’d feel bad about it if the thread had any merit in the first place.
Would have been a lot more of ours dead if Russia wasn’t keeping well over two thirds of the Nazis(plus allies) busy and this country would alsohave been defeated. Maybe a little bit of recognition would be sensible.
That’s because it’s an excuse. They even tried to pretend that they had nothing to do with capturing(and closing) Auschwitz(plus most of the others).
“In 2015, the Polish government shamefully excluded President Putin from the 70th anniversary ceremony in Auschwitz.”
They were on the receiving end.
Tbf the Russians often portray themselves as single handedly liberating Europe from fascism, so there’s selective memories on both sides.
Yeah true enough, although they did kind of do virtually all of the defeaing Nazis stuff, whilst losing more civilians than everyone else put together.
It should be an occasion to put present differences aside and remember the great sacrifice on all sides(personally i always thought the resistance in mainland Europe were massively brave).
On a side note, i was surprised how many people were out around my way to watch the old bombers flying over.
That’s a good point, there’s no commemoration of resistors or partisans is there? It’s only national armies that the various dates remember.
They might not have put boots on those particular beaches, but to say they weren’t involved is wide of the mark. Stalin had been pushing for an invasion of this kind for years and wanted it in 1943.
The Allied armies barely did any fighting in Europe until 1943, and then, it was Italy they fought in.
If the Soviets had not been involved, the Allies would likely have faced many of the three million Germany soldiers the Soviets killed in a war of one front.
Stalingrad goes the other way and the whole thing is fucked, and we’d be in the first century of the thousand year reich.
Yeah, I’ve watched the Winds of War, we have Robert Mitchum to thank for convinving the Sovs to do the right thing…
Would have been a very brave and quickly unemployed Polish politician to invite a Russian head of state to this place, seeing as many here still believe the Russians shot down their former president in 2010
Because he is a cunt.
The end.
Why didn’t the Soviet’s not Russians you tit invade Germany?
They were happy for millions to die as long as it wasn’t them, you really need to study a bit, how many volunteered or were conscripted? How many did Stalin kill through terrible tactics?
Just fucking move there Philby.
You know this do you?
The Soviet’s couldn’t keep their union together for less than 10 years without revolt (Hungary) and that was put down with huge force and murderous actions.
Fucking hell lads, read some history.
Time for your medication Barry. Once you’ve calmed down, please explain this.
If they didn’t not, does that mean they did?
And just in case you’ve forgotten your history 228-11. That makes a mockery of anyone that claims Russia didn’t win the war😘
Why didn’t the Soviet’s invade Germany before the Axis powers invaded the Soviet Union? They were happy for Europe to burn, what about the neutrality pact before then that consigned Poland to history?
I can suggest some books for beginners if you wish.
You can’t even get the name right of your supposed victors of a “World War”, Your knowledge is limited at best.
