Rubbish. Almost 9 out of every 10 Germans killed in WW2 were killed by the Red Army.

An anagram for something else perhaps?

Hitler was fascist, Stalin was communist. Something was bound to give. Both knew that in 1939 when they signed the Molotov Ribbentrop non-agression treaty.


You seem to forget that the USSR occupied the other half of Poland at the same time.

Not content with just swans, those dastardly Slavs have milked, cooked and eaten the Celtic Tiger. Whatever next?

Interesting speculation though. When we talk of Russians we actually mean the Soviet Red Army. The Red Army lost more Ukrainians and Belorussians than actual Russians in its ranks. The US Lend Lease equipment/supplies did help for sure at the later stages of the War, but a lot of it was unusable. And, it is also debatable how long Hitler could have occupied and kept control of an area the size of the USSR.
