Europe
History according to Macron. The memory of the Soviet contribution to the defeat of Nazism is being erased

[REGNUM] From June 5 to 7, France hosted solemn commemorative events to mark the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy during World War II. President Emmanuel Macron attaches particular importance to this event. Leaders and representatives from different countries of the world, as well as surviving veterans and eyewitnesses of the events, gathered for the celebration. However, behind the solemn speeches and strong emotions lies an attempt at political manipulation. The significance of the anniversary events for the French President can be assessed from the fact that he began preparing for them two months in advance. Macron's focus is on the actions of French members of the Resistance movement and civilian casualties of the war.

My father was a Sgt. in the Yankee Division.
Yes, the division that saved the 10-worse butts ☺.

Because he spoke the dialects he was used to do the horse trading with the Russians and yes even negotiate with common small German soldier platoons to withdrawn to avoid getting themselves killed as the 26th advanced.

He said one the Red soldiers, while doing some trading. Said the Nazi camp looked like something they had for their own problems back home.

The only deference between Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia was the USSR won its war and Hitler did not. Soviet Russia was just a viscous as 1934-1945 Germany

#3  The Russians indeed contributed vastly to the defeat of Germany. But they didn't contribute to D-day.
Matter of fact, Stalin repeatedly complained about the delays in getting to it.

#1  Not much different than Stalin making sure the Russian people never knew the extent of aid in massive raw material to equipment that armed the Soviet Army.
