This is the mid 1940s were on about where during that period, we were allies. They fought in only one front yet still sacrificed more to get the job done. Also, if Russia was not fighting the Eastern Front, all those countless battle hardened German divisions would have descended on France to counter the D Day landings.

@@Thetruthhurts708 Let me check how many Bangladeshis we have in Canada. About a hundred thousand. So, that is about 0.3 % of the population. That is one in 300. For every 300 Canadians, one is Bangladeshi. Brampton has about 600,000 people. So, assuming every one of the Bangladeshi lives in Brampton, it is still only be 1 in 6. By the way, about 28% of Brampton is of Indian origin. Not even 1/3.

Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not honor the memory of their ancestors are doomed to extinction. The unconditional act of surrender was signed by Marshal of the USSR Georgy Zhukov, who led the army that liberated all of Europe and all of humanity from fascism and erected the Soviet red flag on the Reichstag, on May 8, 1945 in the suburbs of Berlin and the witnesses were signed by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, Marshal Arthur Tedder (Great Britain), General K. Spaats (USA) and General J. de Lattre de Tassigny (France).

Some might question whether the Soviet Army 'liberated' anywhere.

Some will question that... Don't remember seeing any pictures of Stalin or Zhukov marching down the Champs-Élysées. And by Stalin, Khrushchev and Zhukov's own admissions, without Western aid the Soviets would have lost the war.

Nope. Russia NEVER fought in Asia, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Northern Europe, nor Africa. Russia didn't even declare war on Japan until 1945 lol. Russians were good at dying and thats all. Germans were outnumbered and still managed to inflict 2x more casualties on the Soviets
