to expand on what Mr. Baggins said......watch "Enemy at the Gate" the beginning of the movie is VERY accurate. When the soviets would get off the train to go into the battle of Stalingrad some were given guns and some were given bullets. When someone with a gun was killed the person with bullets would pick it up etc... That's why the Soviets lost 26 million soldiers *combat related* They just had numbers.


But there is no way to say "if if if" it happened and it's over. If the russians weren't with us would we have won? maybe. Would we have lost? maybe.


Also if you "Respect what Stalin did" read a book called "Under a Cruel Star" it is a real story about what a woman went through under a Stalin inspired government.
