Another piece of distasteful propaganda


Wow, amidst full blown American propaganda now Russian propaganda. I don't know if I should puke or just spit.

The Russian Army was so good that without USA supplying them with food, armaments, technology and money they would've capitulate faster than France.

And comrade Stalin was such a nice chap he didn't want to occupy whole of Europe and Asia - just wanted to help Allies against the bad nazi boys.

Did you even watch this movie? Or do you mouth off just to hear yourself mouth off?

So you are sitting there watching a Russian movie about the siege of Stalingrad waiting for the Russians to give the good old USA her props??? That's kinda weird.

Lets see ... 100,000 Russians and 300,000 Germans die in the battle ... while no Americans? I'm just sayin.

That was never the ratio, it was usually reversed, and in total was one German for 4 to 6 Russians (depends on who's casualty tolls you believe). Even in Stalingrad the casualties of the Russians were heavier than those of the Germans.

You are correct that my numbers are wrong ... but so are your ratios. According to William Craig, Enemy at the Gates (1973)

Soviets: 750,000 kwm
German: 400,000 lost
Italian: >130,000 lost
Romanian: 120,000 lost
Hungarian: 120,000 lost
[TOTAL: 1,520,000 casualties]

AGAIN we note no Americans ... which was my point ... which relates to this discussion.

reply

Yeah, well, it was the Germans' greatest defeat in that war so instead of killing 4 Russians for every German soldier they only killed one and a half.

What insanity......

I can see you have all the historical knowledge of a 10-year-old. Go back to elementary school.
