In Eastern Front, the so called invincible pan-European army led by the Nazi Germany become defeat-able. Thanks to the ferocity of the Soviet's resistance and counter-attack. Also inactivity of Imperial Japan against Soviet Union.


Hope people don't forget or belittle the role of the Soviet's heroic Red Army....

And also, we shouldn't forget the role Stalin played in the extermination of Polish prisoners of war. All of them murdered on the order of Stalin himself. One of the many atrocities during WWII.

Wonder why you bring this up....Any reason? Any motives? The usual steps of trying to negate the contribution of the Soviet Red Army in defeating the Axis? Or you dislike the truth that it was actually the heroic and notorious Soviet Red Army are the deciding factor of the Axis downfall? icon_idea.gif

Never let atrocities over-shadowed contribution and vice versa. Remember both of them. Soviet Red Army major contribution in defeating the Axis should not be brush a side just because of some atrocities committed by them. American GI also did terrible things but I don't see you post them up here.


Also, a decision of a sadistic man over-shadowed the contribution of the soldiers fighting for their motherland in the battlefront......tragic. sad.gif

Funny you tried to equate a single comment about Stalin's background to the act of attempting to fully negate the contribution of the Soviet Red Army?

Whether you like it or not, Stalin does have his shares of atrocities way before WW2 even started, regardless of the role of the Soviet army in WW2.

It just so happened that Stalin's regarded as the lesser of the 2 evils when compared to Hitler. And in a way, you can also say that Hitler got more attention too because he decided to go WAAAAAARGH! (to borrow the Warhammer 40k Orks expression) first and rampage across Europe.

Just wonder why frags suddenly post Soviet's atrocities just after I said people should also remember the role of the Soviet Union in WWII instead of remembering only the role of American in WWII. Maybe I've seen and met far too many people that blindly reject the important role of the Soviets and championing how "important and decisive" the American in WWII. So yeah, maybe a hasty and rash respond from me tongue.gif

Hope in this thread, we can get to share the bad and good side of all the nation that struggle in WWII
