AzRednek Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Good Flick!! I got into about 20-25 minutes of it then my Ipad crashed. One of my high school teachers, a retired Marine officer spent time in Russia pulling embassy duty. He claimed the Russian propaganda and history books claimed they beat the Nazis single handed saving the French, Brits and US on the Western Front.

karlunity Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I suspect that most nations write the history of the war the same way. in point of fact I think the best troops in Europe were the Germans. It took us (the USA) The USSR and the British Empire to beat them. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend's dad claimed the toughest combat he was in was taking out some anti-aircraft stations. He claimed they fought fanatic Hitler Youth troops 10-12 years old that refused to surrender.
