  1.  @kickinghighify  Some Americans believe crazy things. How many have been abducted by flying saucers?

  2. You're actually describing one part of the real Cold War. By no means all the Soviet diaspora were repatriated. A large number remained in The West (notably Canada) where they were virulently anti - Communist.

  3. Glad someone else has remembered this. The USA were eager to get The USSR to declare war until they could be sure that the atom bomb would actually explode.

  4.  @chaptermasterpedrokantor1623  The Soviet campaign in Manchuria was a remarkable demonstration of their new military competence. It's amusing that WW2 was bookended by Soviet victories in Manchuria.

  5. Eisenhower had a difficult time at the end of the war preventing accidental clashes between American and Soviet soldiers.

  6.  @ns7023  Yep. These people had put on Nazi uniform. Any Allied obligation to them was limited.

  7.  @billandreastv1166  Hmm. Well if this was the view it was soon altered. After WW2 many thousands of Ukrainians were settled in The UK and Canada.

  8.  @QuizmasterLaw  Interesting that the Anglo - Americans did protect citizens of The Baltic States. Presumably because they did not recognize their annexation by The USSR.

  9. Did anyone point out that the Anglo - Americans wished to retain The Soviet Union as an ally and that until the atomic bomb was successfully exploded The US wanted them to join in the war against Japan at the earliest possible date?

  10. That seems harsh.

  11. Interesting. I think those who had worn German uniform were less at risk of criminal prosecution than of social ostracism. It must have been tough living in The Soviet Union as a known Nazi collaborator. In some ways life in The Gulag may have been easier since no one there supported the regime

  12.  @Malinb0ratt  They didn't feel any particular obligation to anyone wearing Nazi uniform. The deportation of civilians who had been living outside The USSR for many years was much less justifiable.

  13. Something similar. And much worse imo in that many of these guys were actually British allies as former Chetniks, and that The Partisans actually shot most of those deported because they lacked the ability to handle them.

  14. He did correct himself later in the video.

  15.  @Cheka__  You're wrong, at least up to the point The Americans first exploded an atomic bomb.

  16.  @TheImperatorKnight  Did it go on beyond 1945? The allies reversed course very quickly, permitting many thousands of former Ukrainian collaborators to remain in The West
