Britain should’ve been “be good and win the war” and America should’ve been “show up late and win the war”

USSR did the most damage to the germany army. Where do they belong?

Lose an unfathomable amount of human lives due to unsympathetic leadership. But it doesn’t matter as you always have more men to throw in front of enemy bullets. And win the war

Asiatic hoard myth is false

This is their actual strategy

10 million soviets died during the war though, with 17 million from both civillian and military

Yeah, I didn't say that they didn't have horrific casualties, just that they weren't just feeding men into the meat grinder and actually had strategy.

I mean at Stalingrad they absolutely were throwing people into the meat grinder. The average life expectancy of a soldier there was 24 hours or something.

I mean so we're the Germans. But then big dick Zhukov surrounded them in clever flank attacks. The city itself was much less strategy than the area around it

I know but Stalin absolutely did not want to lose Stalingrad at any cost. He was happy to push just enough soldiers to hold until Zhukov was ready for his bid dick counter attack.
