While the English declared war after the German invasion of Poland, the Soviets enjoyed the spoils in their pact with Ribbentrop.

French casualties (killed) were 92,000 and the Germans killed were at least 27,000.<br /><br />David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-59650258204171787542017-04-27T11:19:59.713-07:002017-04-27T11:19:59.713-07:00Not to belittle what the American and British armi...Not to belittle what the American and British armies did but it was the army of the USSR that defeated Nazi Germany. 80% or more of the Wehrmacht's deaths occurred on the Eastern Front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-21585178163991375062017-04-27T07:55:09.893-07:002017-04-27T07:55:09.893-07:00Stuart: The soon-to-be president of France, Macron...Stuart: The soon-to-be president of France, Macron will not be respected by most of the world. He will be an international laughing-stock. <br /><br />Perhaps this is what projection looks like? You'd think someone could come up with something worse than this.<br /><br />Stuart: One hates to repeat oneself, but the forces that defeated the Third Reich (aka National Socialism) and Mussolini were, for the most part, the armies of the Anglosphere, the armies mounted by those great bastions of free market capitalism, Great Britain and the United States.<br /><br />Really? I thought it was Stalin's armies that did the heavy lifting against Hitler's armies. The fatherland was no match for the motherland and the eastern front was where disobedient Germans went to meet their Aryan maker. <br /><br />Certainly it wasn't France that saved anyone. Vive la France! But they did give us Liberté, Egalité, and Fraternité.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
