  1. Except during Barbarossa Axis army outnumbered the soviet forces locally AND GLOBALLY. On all aspects. Good tanks no. Comparison year to year, soviets either had lots of bad tanks( most in 1941 were old rubbish T-26s and later German tanks were equal or superior) and Oil is a rather complicated issue. Soviets did not have as much as you would imagine

  2. What movies do you refference? Because Shooting own soldiers also appears quite frequently in Western movies about Eastern Front as well.

  3. In Romania, the history of our country, no matter how often we would reach it, seemed to have end at WW2. For context: in Romania, we have 3 school cycles. Grades 1-4, 5-8, 9-12. Each of them, history of the world and Romania is re-taken. Like we studied it once in 4th Grade. For 3 years, history of the world in 5-7, then History of Romania again, and then 3 years of world history and then Romania again. During this time, only in 11th Grade for one hour or two did we get to talk about Romania in WW2 and afterwards. But because it was world history year, it was only comparison with other events around the world. And that was the last time we actually spoke about WW2 and afterwards in our history classes. We never reached WW2 before, nor after. And its 2010's Russian side is told. It's been told for years by Russia. But nobody listens to them.

  4. The heck are you talking about? Perhaps it's because of the translation. It's not WAR FOR PATRIOTISM. It's WAR FOR YOUR COUNTRY. Like literally, the country itself, the land, the people, the water and air.

  5. Except, the soviets were not fighting against Germany alone. They were fighting against 5 nations: Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Finland. To those, you can add forces from Croatia, Spain as well as fascists and rebels from soviet lands, like Ukraine or Lithuania. That would be 7-9 nations supplying troops against the USSR. And if you think those are small contributions, let me put it in context for you: At Stalingrad, the Italian contingent alone had almost double the size of the combined German-Italian army faced by the British in the invasion of Lybia during Crusader. The Romanian army was almost equally as large. As for being bled dry, they were fighting a war on their home front, what do you think happened to the Royal Airforce during the Battle of Britain.
