Second World British began Sept. 3, 1939, and fought to victory.
Remind me who fought the Red Army in September 39 th and who staged a joint parade in Brest on 22 September?

A war that we did not win, and Russian
Damir Muzafarov
War, which won not we. . . and Russian "- so opens his story to a prominent Western historian Norman Davies (Norman Davies) in" The Sunday Times ", United Kingdom, November 7, 2006.

In 1945, none of the Soviet troops who took Berlin would not have believed that it will be not so many years, as the False Dmitry write fairy stories about how the US-British troops swoop defeated Hitler, and that more than half a century, Western historians are daring to convince his countrymen in the truth about the Soviet soldier - the liberator of the world from the yoke of fascism.

Myth

First, who submitted false information about the Great Patriotic War (WWII) was ... Joseph Stalin. November 6, 1941, he stated that for 4 months WW II the Soviet Union lost 350 thousand dead and missing 378 thousand people, wounding 1 миллион 20 thousand people. During the same period the Germans had lost in killed, wounded and captured more than four and a half million people. No matter what the loss of Hitler's close to the number of Fascists, had crossed the border of the USSR. Important thing. In an attempt to mobilize the country and raise the military and civic spirit, Stalin went to lie. Experts believe, with the objective that Stalin had overestimated the loss of the fascists in 6-7 times, and their own reduced by 6-8 times. White lie? At that crucial moment in history it was justified.

In another historic moment, the formation of a new world order, the first volume of Churchill's history of the Second World War »(The Second World War, 1948). It states that "the driving axle" in the war belongs to neither more nor less, and the UK. And only "self-sacrificing resistance" Albion, slave Churchill, opened the way to the victory over fascism. As part of the Anti-Hitler coalition, Churchill joined the major allies of England, - the U.S. and the USSR. This allowed the British to drive the fascist Herod in his own lair and destroy. Moreover, the Allied landing in Normandy, according to the version of Winston Churchill, is equivalent to the value of the victories of the "Russian" on the Eastern Front.
 
Winston Churchill once said that "history will be kind to me - because I myself will write it" - points out in his article, J. Norman. As you can see, he has succeeded. Here are just a lie "saving" anything but.

Add this only on the conscience of Winston Churchill not for one small reason that it is the first volume, as noted by D. Norman, and became a platform for all of Western publications on the history of the Second World War. Born is the falsehood, which in the opinion of many Americans in harmony with the phrase: "without the U.S. the whole world would speak German." And to perpetuate the myth of Churchill, in the United States was even a special museum "D-Day", a sight for feature films about the Second World War.

Certainly. In the rout of fascism must pay tribute to all the allies, especially the United States and Britain. Yet the statements of American citizens seem, at least, is absurd, so greatly underestimate the role of chief blacksmith victory - the Soviet people.

Dispelling the myth. Opinion foreign authors.

Norman Davies, a British historian

Throughout the postwar years, the West received information about the war in Eastern Europe gradually, not in full, and sometimes inaccurate. In the end, popular in the West, the fact that if the United States and Great Britain would not be pinned down 56 German divisions in France, the Soviet Union would suffer defeat. Much less known fact that another - if the 150 German divisions would not be destroyed by the Red Army, the Allied landing would never have happened. On the Eastern Front, Nazi Germany lost 75%-80%of the soldiers. Consequently, the Allies destroyed no more than 20%of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. Since Britain fielded a total of 28 divisions, Americans - 100, "physical" contribution Albion to victory in this sense is about 5%-6%of Americans is 15%. That such a "simple" arithmetic.

Advocates of "decisive contribution" of the West in the victory over fascism suggests that it is impossible to lose sight of other aspects of warfare - from industrial production to exploration. Impossible, they say, conceal large amounts of material and technical assistance to the USSR, especially the fact that the Allied bombing of cities in Germany and the Anglo-American navy had been of great support to the Red Army.

Nobody is going to deny it and, moreover, say nothing. But forgotten that the main way of warfare all the same ground fighting. Victory on the ground - that's what makes a win-win. And here the Red Army far exceeded the armed forces of allies. During the defeat of the troops of Marshal Rokossovskogo only one Nazi Army Group Center "in 1944 in Belarus were destroyed as many divisions of the Wehrmacht, as included in all the German group on the Western Front. And only the Allied landing in Normandy is worthy of inclusion in the list of 10 major battles of the Second World War.

Laurent Geoffrin (Laurent Joffrin) - Chief Editor of «Le Nouvel Observateur»

Soviet soldiers, and none other, tore the flag with a swastika from the dome of the Nazi Reichstag. Must be remembered that the June 6, 1944 in western Europe, of which 50 are fascist divisions. At the same time, more than 200 divisions fought on the east against the Red Army. While preparing to open a second front, five million Wehrmacht soldiers were sent to the eastern front. The Soviet people were going to die near Moscow. They stood in the blockade of Leningrad, defeated the Nazis at Stalingrad, came to Berlin and Prague.

The number killed during WWII speaks for itself. Soviet Union lost an estimated 27 million men, women and children (or 14%of the pre-war population). U.S. 300 000 (0.3%). United Kingdom 400 000 (0.6%).

Only the incredible heroism of the Soviet people did not allow Hitler to defeat the Soviet Union and build an impregnable "fortress Europe". It would have happened and the peoples of Europe would have to bow to "God knows who." Fascism was defeated in Russia and by Russia. And it is time the West to acknowledge it.

Richard Overy, a British historian

Of course, the allies had an overwhelming material superiority over the enemy in 1945. However, the critical point in the war have, nevertheless, in the years 1942-1943. When the USSR was on the verge of defeat, the U.S. Army has yet been formed. Rommel came to Egypt, and the outcome of the "Battle of the Atlantic" was not clear. Allied victory was by no means guaranteed. The scales in their favor tempted fierce resistance to the Soviet people on the Eastern Front.

Soviet Union defeated Hitler's army is not the number and fanaticism, and inventive tactics and weapons. Otherwise, the fascist army would continue to be victorious, and economic resources of the Eurasian empire of Germany would put the Western allies in a terrible position.

Lend-Lease - that, according to R. Overy, distinguishes the contribution of allies. In relative terms, the armament was a small fraction of all shipments, although in absolute terms of delivery were impressive: almost 15,000 aircraft (to May 1945 remained in service 9000 aircraft), and more than 7000 tanks. However, Soviet soldiers did not consider these weapons quality. And according to many local historians, it would not play a special role in the victory over Nazi Germany.

Was important raw materials, food and vehicles. It was delivered 427000 тысяч trucks and passenger cars. This allowed Soviet industry to focus on the production of armaments. Moreover, it is the American Studebaker in 1942, established the legendary "Katyusha".

Speaking about his leading role in the victory over Japan, Western historians have noted, the U.S. and Britain somehow "forget" about the impressive contribution of Asian countries in the defeat of militarist Japan. First and foremost, isolate China, which gave 20 million lives. The absolute magnitude of the tragedy comparable to the Soviet Union. Moreover, in technical terms (especially tanks and aircraft) and military training of Japan noticeably inferior to Hitler's army.
