Answer 2

They also suffered some 50 million deaths, if not directly from Hitler, then from Stalin. Of course I'm talking about the entire USSR, including the Ukraine and Byelarus, who took the most casualities. Stalin signed a pact with Germany in August 1939 that made the war possible, and gained him the Baltic States, parts of Finland and half of Poland. Nonetheless, if it were not for the Soviet contribution, the European War might have gone on for several more years, or at least long enough so the atomic bomb would have been sent into Germany, as was the initial intention, rather than into Japan.

Answer 3

If you are being objective about history then you must conclude that the Russians won the war in Europe. While Britain deserves credit for holding out alone at the start of the war and the U.S. deserves the credit for the defeat of Japan, it was the Soviet Union that defeated Germany. They did this by essentially sucking the German army into a giant meat grinder that killed and wounded millions on both sides. Battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk and extended campaigns such as the Soviet drive into Byelorussia broke the back of German power. The Soviets paid a terrible price for their victory with almost 22 million war deaths, many caused by their own incompetence in the war's early years .

Answer 4

Fist off, you can wonder what they didn't do. Stalin, then the aboslute ruler of Soviet Union, was foolish enough to think he would get away with it in accepting a Pact of mutual non-agression between Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. Despite the general skepticism around him, Stalin stayed put despite the fact that Hitler has clearly stated his every intentions to invade Soviet Union to get "lebensraum" (you'd say elbow-room) there in his only book "Mein Kampf" (My Fight). In fact, the Soviets could have been considered objective allies of the Germans at that time.

Despite numerous prior warnings, Stalin was caught off balance by the German invasion in June 1941. The Germans could go as far as Leningrad, now St-Petersburg North and very close to Moscow, and even reached Caucasus South.

The Soviets lost a tremendous number of both soldiers and civilians during a merciless war, whose turn happened at Stalingrad during a bloody battle which lasted between August 1942 and February 1943.

After that, the Soviet, with the help of equipments and food sent them by the Western Allies started to overcome the German invasion, slowly at first then picking up momentum until Berlin fell in May 1945.

Meanwhile, during their move westward, the Soviets still took the time to see the Germans crush the city of Warsaw, comfortably looking at the spectacle from the other side of the river Vistula without ever lifting their little fingers to oppose the slaughtering.

Answer 5

The Soviets pretended to be our Allies during the war they signed a peace treaty with Nazi Germany because they weren't ready for war yet yes. But it is also true they wanted to crush both the Nazis and the Allies to control Europe. But they had to wait till both were weak enough to conquer and eventually in time destroy Capitalism. But instead of attacking just on one front Hilter fought on two and lost which left the Soviet Union to weak to hold onto the land they acquired. A example of this was the Berlin wall.

Answer 6

There was a popular saying during World War II,

"The force which conquers Berlin will conquer Germany in whole, and which conquer Germany, it will conquer the whole of Europe".

Defeated the Nazi war machine, then continued to dominate the East European theater for the next four decades.
