the russians did do more killing than usa, but that's because Russia got envaded, so they killed germans on home soil to get rid of them and then kept on killing with a vegenance because they were pissed off. which is understandable. the russians did do more dirty work but not all of it. don't make it sound like russia did it all by themselves because you know that is not the case.
Russia did not do it all by themselves. It is war and war is always about killing, death, distruction, and total mayhem.
It is the way in which Russia behaved in war that is not forgotten. They were RUTHLESS...raping, pillaging, all of the most terrible things you could ever think of.
Russia was invaded. True. But this was after they had sided with the germans. They were not innocent people. They were conquering Europe from the east and germany was moving across the western front. Countries like Poland felt the grip and destruction of Russians...and then when the germans arrived in Poland as well....well, you can imagine.
When the germans invaded France, it was not a typical "russian" invasion. There may have been a few instances of rape and other wartime instances, however, as I have previously stated, the french pride themselves on being a peaceful people. They were able to eventually 'peacefully' mesh with the invading german army. The French were not happy about it and there were subsequent revolutions, yet the way in which the germans behaved once they had captured Paris and completely conquered france, was totally night-and-day different than the manner with which the russians conducted themselves in countries such as Poland.
