Sigh. How can one even begin to answer a statement of such ignorance? For what little it is worth, if any one country won World War Two, it was the USSR. I don't recall the exact numbers off the top of my head, but while the Brits and Americans were having a relatively easy time of it fighting the second-best German soldiers, the best, and by far the majority, of the German armed forces were on the Eastern Front engaged in the biggest, fiercest, most brutal battles of the war, bar none. The Soviets destroyed the German airforce, smashed their tank battalions, bled their armies dry, then steamrolled over Eastern Europe, East Germany, and Berlin. The Western Front was, in comparison, a school picnic. One can understand why, following WW2, the western powers formed NATO and were so worried about the Red Army that they invited the Germans to join. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
