Can we stop with the "______" defeated the Germans..." nonsense.
It was the COMBINED efforts of the UK, France, United States, andthe Soviet Union that ultimately defeated Germany.
Soviets did a TON of heavy lifting, including routing the Japanese out of Manchuria, for three years after the US claimed that it won the war and went home.
We were speaking of the conflict with GERMANY.
The Soviets got busy in China just as we were dropping the A-Bombs on Japan...they wanted the land and didn't give f**k about the conflict with Japan.
