The russians sent wave after wave of soldiers to attack the Nazi lines, sometimes not even equipped with weapons. They did this with machine guns behind their lines with the orders to shoot anyone who was not charging forward.

One of the reasons the Nazis lost the Eastern Front was simply they ran out of bullets before the Russians ran out on men.

When you listen to the Americans tell you how they won the war, consider how well they would of done without the sacrifice, or was it slaughter, on the Russians side.

The Allies won the war and it's right that we celebrate that together.
