  1. He compared Pearl Harbor to Stalingrad, not the entire Russian Campaign that lost 27 million - get it right.

  2. It is not the most powerful monumental sculpture ever created - that's just your opinion.

  3.  @Ivan-td7kb  No it wasn't - the Soviets were just as guilty "land-grabbing" as Hitler was and everyone knows how nice Uncle Joe Stalin was right? Nice try Ivan, but learn your history. I don't see Russia with much success in the Ukraine - a sovereign nation that Russia recently invaded for what grounds exactly again? Run along.

  5.  @6idangle  No they didn't not by a long shot -- they however lost the most civilians of any nation, but not soldiers - don't even go there.

  6. The Soviet DID NOT win the war in Europe - they could have never defeated the Germans who as late in 1944 were still occupying the western half of Russia (present day Ukraine, Belarus, Baltics and eastern Poland, Moldava, eastern Hungary and northern Romania. Without the material aid of the USA in supplying Russia and opening up the western front (the only nation that had that capability), the Soviet Union would have not been able to move eastward IF there had been no second front. As I recall, Yugoslavia was the ONLY nation that liberated itself and reminded the Soviet Union of that fact, causing Tito to split with Stalin and never to return to the Soviet Camp post 1945. There is no questions that the former Soviet Union had suffered horrific casualties (22 million totalling both soldiers/civilians) - that is not in question. However, to state that they would have defeated the German War Machine without assistance from their then Allies is false and incorrect.

  7.  @estebanslavidastic4382  sorry but no the dates aren’t what’s in question. Stalingrad was in 1941; the Germans still occupied most of western Russia - the Battle of Kursk was in 1943 - almost 2 years after Stalingrad - how far is Kursk EAST of Kiev? Kiev was still occupied on OCT 24 1944 - when was the 2nd front open to help the Russian Front? June 1944 - Byelorussia Sept 1944 Germans still deep in Soviet territory - you do the math and count your dates - had a 2nd front not been open, the Germans would have been able to fight on one front and I highly doubt the Soviets would have been able to break the chokehold on their own Watch your sarcasm, I can give it as fast as you can dispense it

  8.  @ВикВик-н8я  Я скажу вам, что я говорю, поскольку у вас, похоже, проблемы с пониманием прочитанного. Во-первых, я сказал, что операция "Барбаросса" началась в июне 41-го, что это было вторжение Германии в Советский Союз; я никогда не говорил, что Сталинградская битва началась в 41-м. Во-вторых, я утверждал, что немцы находились в Советском Союзе с 1941 по 1944 год после высадки союзников на Западе в день Д в Нормандии. Ваши войска не в одиночку сломали хребет немцам - о нет. Погодные условия, второй фронт в Западной Европе и материальная поддержка союзников Советского Союза (в первую очередь США и Великобритании) помогли Советскому Союзу справиться с немцами. Если бы не открылся второй фронт, или немцы посадили бы свои войска на мель до "генеральского мороза", а СССР не снабжался бы союзниками, я очень сомневаюсь, что они одни победили бы немцев, которые были в вашей стране с 1941 по конец 1944 года - этому тоже учат российских школьников? Я также прекрасно знаю о Сталинградской битве - город был разрушен и отстроен заново, чтобы впоследствии называться Вологоградом после того, как Сталин был осужден Никитой Хрущевым в 1956 году. Я не сомневаюсь, что советские военные доблестно сражались и делали все возможное для борьбы с немецким вермахтом; их нужно чествовать и по праву. Однако утверждать, что СССР победил Германию в одиночку, неточно, и это было моей изначальной позицией с самого начала.

  9.  @WrongAndHome  wrong - Stalingrad was a defeat for the Germans in 1941 when Gen Von Paulus surrendered - 1941 / Kursk was in 1943

  10.  @WrongAndHome  it’s called Wiki and before you ask for a source, you should have provided one yourself - nice try

  11. @ there was no official Battle of Moscow as the Germans only reached the outskirts of the city. The other besieged city was Leningrad which was relieved in 1943 — however, Stalingrad was finished in EARLY 1943 ank Kursk followed thereafter.
