"I think also that most people who have any knowledge of WWII at all realise that the Russians did the lion's share against the Germans."

This is surely true among the inhabitants of this forum, especially PzC. However, among the general populace, I don't think so. I know when I went to school, there wasn't much good said about the Soviet Union or "Russia" as they called it even then. "We" won WWII and in a large degree they were right: The USA emerged as the world's dominant super power as a result of it. von ege
