Russia was the cause of the defeat of Nazi Germany Big Ben
D. Man!
If Britain had been invaded in the early months of the war, Churchill had set up auxiliary units to fight geurilla style warfare, special underground bunkers were built , extremely well hidden, some however were discovered accidentally and were immediately abandoned, these auxiliary units were led by one officer, one of the men in the unit had an unusual task should invasion happen, his first order was to kill his own commanding officer, as he was the only one who knew the locations of all the bunkers under his command, should he have been captured and inevitably tortured, he could give that information away, many were ex poachers and gamekeepers who knew the land well.
Can’t be proven JBR, That’s just a guestimate !!
Donkeyman!

In 1992, a statue of Sir Arthur Harris aka “Bomber Harris” was unveiled in London by Queen Elisabeth. The “SOME” I refer to in the above, jeered and shocked the Queen, by shouting “Harris was a war criminal”. In fact, the statue had to be guarded for many months due to constant vandal attacks on it. Harris remains a controversial figure to this day.
Harris WAS a war criminal. Of that there is no doubt.

Yes, I’ve seen that and responded. As others have said, there is nothing there, even if it can be proved, to compare with the German’s activities in killing Jews on such a wholesale scale.
With the help of US arms and supplies :
400,000 jeeps and trucks
Stalin quote from 1943 :
"“I want to tell you, from the Russian point of view, what the President and the United States have done to win the war. The most important things in this war are machines. The United States has proven that it can turn out from 8,000 to 10,000 airplanes per month. Russia can only turn out, at most, 3,000 airplanes a month. England turns out 3,000 to 3,500, which are principally heavy bombers. The United States, therefore, is a country of machines. Without the use of those machines, through Lend-Lease, we would lose this war.”

There’s one hell of a lot there if it’s used as a starting point.
But when it comes to the Nazi top table, in fairness not just us Yids.
Gypos, Poufters, assorted political opponents, lunatics, quite a few others beside.
Stalin is up there with killing more people than Hitler.

Lend-lease was a disgrace.
Err, not entirely. Stalin and the Soviet government was facing internal revolution. What was done had to be done.

Yes it’s true America saved our bacon by supplying us with arms I think the irony of WW2 Was that all the aid we received had to be
I agree. I have always regarded that as rather one-sided and never understood their decision.

Rather similar to the present day situation where pulling down statues is generally the forte of the young and uneducated!
You need to edit that last bit JBR !!

Yes. If Hitler hadn’t turned on Russia (he had a non-aggression pact), he could have overrun our country without too much difficulty.

In your opinion. In my opinion, he helped us to win the war.
But I suppose if you supported Hitler you might be forgiven for thinking that way.

Yet you can’t provide undeniable proof.
