WWII was WON by the Russian Army ALONE, who fought ALL 4 years ALONE. - Nonsense. I see you are a victim of Soviet propaganda. Where was Russia in 1939 when Britain was ALONE against Germany?

You have it wrong - Montgomery was certainly NOT the one who planned D-day. I would say the contrary...... he was not of great help. Read again History books.

I agree it was the URSS which did the heavy lifting as a WWII ally. And there were more British and Canadian troops than American ones landing in Normandy on D-Day.
4. By the way, Queen Elizabeth....

You should look up the number of Jewish soldiers who perished in World War II, fighting for the Allied armies. I believe that the number is around 200,000. There is one Polish American soldier worthy of mention. Private Eddie Slovik. Shot for desertion and cowardice on January 31, 1945. He's the only Polish American anyone remembers out of the entire Second World War. On the other hand, Jews can claim: United States: Major General Maurice Rose Major General Melvin Krulewitch Major General Julius Ochs Adler Canada: Brigadier General Ernest Frank Benjamin Soviet Union: Major General Mikhail Efimovich Litvin Major General Izrail Aleksandrovich Shapiro Major General Isaak Senderovich Levin Major General Efim Moiseevich Varshavskii Major General Naum Abramovich Rabinovich Lieutenant General Viktor Mendelevich Sorkin Major General Iakov Zalmanovich Kronrod Major General Boris Lazarevich Livshits Major General Lazar Moiseevich Moizhes Major General Boris Samoilovich Sigal And a more complete list of American Jews can be found here: http://www.fau.edu/library/bro7toc.htm And you get to claim Eddie Slovik, a disgraced coward and deserter. Of course, he did have a long criminal record in the United States as a juvenile, so no surprise there.

The Czechs and the Austrians might feel differently, dumbo. But I take it you would have no problem with Nazi Germany if they had restricted themselves to massacring the Jews, without territorial ambitions, is that what you're saying? You believe in genocide, in the calculated effort with malice aforethought to effectuate the extermination of the Jewish people. I'm sure your babcha is very proud of you. Of course, she is illiterate, she has no teeth, she walks on her knuckles, consumes two quarts of vodka a day and lives in a home with wall-to-wall dirt floors, so the dispassionate observer would have to take that into account. No wonder you are the way you are.

I guess the Jews were better soldiers.
