Russia would have overcome Germany how? They were suffering from starvation where the Soviet Union lost an estimated 20 million lives. True bravery which we as kiwis fail to honor.

The USA with it's pirated nuclear technology did save the day.
Germany was defeated before the atomic bomg was used. Russia already overcame Germany before D-day and was only doing some cleaning up.

And don't forget the leadership of Generals Eisenhower and Montgomery.
Montgomery was a total dick and over-rated as a commander. He is solely responsible for the thousands of allies killed at Caen and later at Arnhem because of his megalomanic personality.

I am using megalomanic here as an adjective, which is perfectly okay.

I remember their brilliant leadership in accordance with a strict 2 out of 5 and 3 out of 5 split.
It was understood as an Allied operation to rescue Western Europe.

My father was in the European Theater in WWII and had a very low opinion of Montgomery. Mostly flash and a big ego.
