Russian me
Victory Day-May 9 Russia celebrated the defeat of Nazi Germany in "Great Patriotic War" as we in the west call it WW II. Russian army's military and memorial said that 8.6 million soldiers where lost.

With the advent of the Cold War and the tensions that followed most people in the USA never really understood the role Russia played during the war. How the Nazi's were stopped cold outside of Moscow December 1941 or the victory of Stalingrad. Even that the largest tank battle of the war happened at Kursk where the Russians won the battle with Russian built tanks and soldiers. This happened in1943 a good year before D-DAY.

Nobody in Hollywood showed the great sacrifices the Russians made or how the people of Leningrad held out for 900 Days. Loses are put at 641,000-800,000.
