No need to thank a government. We should thank the people who did help us, and were "good" in the war. So yes I'm thankful for the people who liberated us, and we can say here what we want etc.
Not only Russians, also Canadians, Americans etc.
However, I'm sure latvija won't celebrate this day. It was the start of really bad period for them.Questions?

Thank you Russia. Thanks for signing a deal with the Nazis and allowing them to invade all of europe until they doublecrossed you and invaded you too.
....but after you fought to defend yourselves...(although you would have let Europe go to hell)..... you did defeat the Nazi's.
Thanks.
Also, thanks for the 40 million or so killed under communism... kept down some of the surplus population over the last century!

The USSR beat Nazi, with small aid from the West.Originally posted by smack
Hundreds of German and Russian divisions fighting across enormous costs.
Russia had already decisively won all four of the major battles which crushed the German war making capability:
1) Gates of Moscow Dec 41
2) Stalingrad Feb 43
3) Kursk Jun 43
4) Crushing Army Group Central Jan 44
The Russians had 225 divisions with 22 armored divisions under Koniev and Zhukov in 1945 and were facing the best the Germans could muster.
And the Russians just rolled the Krauts over.
By comparison, Eisenhower had a paultry 18 divisions by August 1944, rounding out to 45 divisions with 13 armoured in Jan 45.
Face it...if the West did nothing, Russians would have marched on Rome and Madrid.Comment

It was actually last week and the only reason that we didn't take Berlin ourselves it that that Eisenhower felt enough Americans had died in the war. The Germans begged to a full surrender to us, but we let Russia savage them...Russia also was also under the command of Stalin at the time, who acually murdered around 43 million of his own people (7 or 8) times what Hitler did.
Maybe we should thank them for that too.

Of course we all know America entered the war to save Europe the second it started. They didn't wait until they were attacked like Russia did. Also, American corporations and bankers weren't financing and helping build the Nazi war machine. IBM had nothing to do with the Nazi death camps.Originally posted by sperbonzo

From what I recall of my history, Patton had more than a few people agreeing with him.Originally posted by DarkJedi
The combined allied army was nothing to sneeze at dude.
And... most of the armaments that the Russians had was munitions sent over there from the USA and Great Britain as part of the "lend-lease" program, of which today most of it has not been paid back (from what I've read).Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

True in all ways actually, just for the record. America was attacked by Japan, and then Hilter immediately declared war against America.
The rest of your post was about communism killing people, I left it out because it wasn't relevant to my response or, in my opinion, this thread. I don't really understand where you're trying to go with that, I don't see anyone here defending Stalin. America has killed millions of people unnecessarily in Vietnam, Lebanon, Latin America, and Iraq, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be grateful for their efforts in WWII, does it?Comment

"Land-Lease" was a farce. Airplanes that the Army Air Corp cast off as POS.
The German navy prevented any "lend lease" items from getting across the atlantic. Stalin realized what a miserable failure the program was but supported the myth in order to keep US morale up.
The USSR defeated the Germans with zero outside help. In fact it was Stalin's plan to suck the German's all the way to Moscow & defeat them there.Last edited by DarkJedi; 05-09-2005, 02:08 PM.Comment

If it wasn't for the US Hitler would have moved all his troops to the Eastern front and rolled over Russia (hell the were like 1 day away from taking Leningrad).
If it wasn't for the USSR Hitler would have had the Atlantic Wall stuffed with troops from the eastern front making Normandy a disaster.
But it's all moot. The US could have rolled over Germany AND USSR easily in 46 all by it's lonesome. Are you forgetting a little thing called the A-Bomb?Comment

The four major battles I cite all happened before major lend lease aid had any significant affect on Sov capability and all occured well before Overlord.
Meanwhile, Western forces faced broken units being rebuilt with a couple of crack units here and there. Even then, it too until Aug 44 for Americans to move out--2 full months after the landing.
Most of those tanks were shit quality and got wiped out - same as the Tetrarchs, Cromwells and Churchills we sent them.Originally posted by CDSmith

In the last year of the war the Germans had something like 36 divisions committed to the Western Front and 138 divisions committed to the Eastern Front.Originally posted by theking
At that point the Russians had the most powerful army in history.
I really don't think it was up to anybody to give them permission to do whatever Stalin wanted them to do.
We're all just lucky that war simply didn't break out between Russia and the West at that point whatever else Patton may have felt about it.Comment

Because it is surrounded by water.It stood alone against nazi tyranny
It asked the Yanks for help when Hitler was invadig Europe with his Nazis.
Did they help England? No. They didn't want to get involved.
But then came Pearl Harbour. And they were fucked and had to join the war.Comment

Last I checked, Patton was a US general. His staffers, followers and fans were mostly, but not all, Americans. Again, from what I remember of my history studies of this time period, he wasn't the only one in the US military expressing sentiments of "dealing with the Russian threat".Originally posted by DarkJedi
You really need to think more about what it took to mobilize a force during those times. To an "army" that was all but beaten, thousands upon thousands of vehicles are needed to get them on their feet. Why? Because millions of tons of people, food, ammo, fuel and weapons needed to be moved around to where it was needed most. VEHICLES did that.... as in the trucks and armored vehicles sent from the US.Originally posted by DarkJedi
Anyone who diminishes the significance of it is in some sort of weird denial.
Bottom line.... the Russian army, although pulling off a huge win for themselves, did not act alone. No one acted alone. How many cocky retards have we seen come on this board and spout off about how the USA won it all and saved the world singel-handedly? Now you come with this.
Unreal.
You are so misinformed on so many points DJ. For one thing, it was far from a one-country-show on the allied side. Ask people over in Europe just how many Canadian, Aussie and British units filed into their towns to liberate them and you'll find out just how far off the mark some of your "facts" are.
And before you start cocking off about Canada like I know you want to, READ.
