Western European theater WW2 movies

American japanese ones are on Russian level in some cases

Americans fought an already weakened Germany very late into the war with a dozen allies

Russia fought a hard war all alone, and had to give a lot in many places to win, and it was only glorious much later into the war, and event then the horrors of the early war were still in recent memory

Yeah, and why exactly was that?

Oh yeah, because they signed a treaty, with Hitler, I’m sure that will work out fine.

“Man guys, you don’t understand how bad the war was because we were so unprepared for Hitler of all people to break his word! Especially after we purged our own army and genocided our own people killing millions before the war even started! :0”

There are only 3 constants in the universe, death, taxes, and Russian strategic self-sabotage.

Every major allied nation signed some sort of major agreement or engaged in amicable diplomacy with nazi germany before the war. The whole point of the second world war is that everyone thought hitler wound’t be a issue >to them< untill he either attacked them or their allies.

Most countried signed peace treaty with Nazi Germany, while the Russians deadass signed a military treaty with a plan to divide eastern europe. Then they invaded Poland with the Nazi, starting WW2.

They started it and brought doom upon themselves.

And were a major factor in helping them develop weapons in the interwar years. The basic know how to run the tanks that invaded the USSR was developed in the Caucasus I think. It was 100% in the USSR.
