    Not allied, simply in a state of non-aggression. Not going to excuse the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, but it certainly wasn't an alliance and your agenda laden post doesn't make it so.
    Russia had no obligation to enter the war until itself was attacked. Still, despite being in the war for a much shorter span of time they still managed to inflict several times more damage to the german war machine than the western allies. Engagements on the western front like Normandy and Market Garden were tea picnics compared to eastern battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk.

    Regardless of the ins and outs of the start of the conflict, the answer to 'Who won it?' is undoubtedly Russia.

    Looks like the spastic Irish are in full anti-west mode again and the kowtowing proddy who aligns himself with these lying REPUBLICAN bastards at the Theatre of Childscreams now finds himself in the minority against their BILE.

    Lots of people "won the war", just because more Russians died in the conflict than any other nationality does not mean we should bestow the victory laurels upon them. That's overly simplistic.

    Not complaining Ciaran, simply pointing out some unpalatable facts.

    Maybe if Stalin hadn't stood idly by and watched the Nazis hoovering up resources like the oil fields in Romania, the war would have actually ended much sooner.

    Who mentioned numbers of Russian dead? You've jumped the gun on that one.

    No, the Eastern front accounted for:

    c. 80% of Whermacht casualties;
    around 2/3's of lost Luftwaffe planes;
    again, between 66 - 75% of German armour and mechanised capabilities

    So while you may complain about Russia not getting involved soon enough (which they had no obligation to do), just be thankful that Hitler ensured they did otherwise the much lauded Battle of Britain would now be an almost forgotten about effort of futility.

    Why would he. Stalin had just purged his officers and knew at that time the Soviet Union was not prepared for a large scale war. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but at that time there was no obligation for them to get involved until Germany's aggression was brought to bear on them

    Simply put, Stalin was happy to let Hitler march all over Europe as long as he left the USSR alone. Is that not more accurate?

    So why the **** did they invade Poland in 1939 then?

    And why did they park their tanks on the East banks of the Vistula in 1944, and wait for the Wehrmacht to crush the Warsaw uprising before continuing their advance?

    As I said, unpalatable truths. The Katyn massacre and all that.
