If Lenin wanted Nikola Tesla technology that Hitler finally had under development the communists would know and try to capture

and nazis was exterminating jewes from all around countries, you forget for that thing...for my opinion, i wouldnt left germany to exist as coutry after ww2..they done it the same at 1914, and world forgive them, but second time.. movie as "saving private ryan" are bullshit, they are just well produced by hoolywood, but the true story is diffrent a lot, and when i watch them, they give me a sick in stomack. Us literally run through normandia, germans let them to arrive to berlin, because they feared of corresponds Stalin.etc
Usa are strong military force, such as today, "world police" (air claws), they were able to join earlier in the war, but..but, they stood, watching and expecting ruin of russia.. -
Yeah---they only lack one thing: FREEDOM. What a pity that they suffer under a parasitic government, an OLIGARCHY that has little regard for human life. Freedom of speech, press, and oeaceful assembly are forbidden --- lest the masses break free of the dictator's ruthless grasp. The WICKED surround the RIGHTEOUS
-and condemn him to death (reference: Psalm 94 says it all, as does Psalms 11 & 12;now you kniw why they HATE the bible and mention of HEAVEN -- a place they do not believe in -- and therefore, they should not enter there, either. THE COMMIE "peacemakers" ARE TRULY CURSED (Jeremiah 23:17-22, Ezekiel 13:3, 10, Deuteronomy 27:24, Psalm 109).
SHA:LOM -- if you really are Jewish, I wiswh you God' Blessing, Take care the commies do NOT MISLEAD YOU (read Deuteronomy 13 carefully and you will understand it clearly). -

While this documentary overlooks the dark side of Stalin's USSR, it's nice to watch an American perspective free of Cold War and anti socialist propaganda.

80% Germany's Military casualties occurred in Eastern Front. The statistics and facts tell how the war in Europe was really won, none of that American Hollywood bull shit of GI Joe and Captain America saving the world. It was Uncle Stalin and Slavic people

We got a lot of help, thank you England for all free tanks, airplane, weapons, intelligence, resources. America you make us pay Zionists profiteers.

USSR had a pact with adolf hitler but hitler breached.
before the nonaggression pact bretain and france were enjoying the victory of germany is also true.
but it is also true that germany humiliated by other freind country after 1st world war.

And don t forget Germany won the war against the USSR after they capture the oilfields in Baku .
Without the oilfields of Baku the war was lost for the USSR but the USA saved you from a total defeat. -
don t forget that the german army had only the oil for 4 month war and for only for 3000tanks.
The USSR was building 1000 tanks every month and already 25000 tanks they had enough oil for using 50000 tanks and 20000 war planes .
Inlading Russia was the only choice for germany and Europe to survive these big treat. -
If you are building 1000 tanks every month and had already 25000 tanks and 15000 war planes than you are close for the attack against Germany and Europe.
Hitler had no other choice than invading before Stalins army was getting to big.
