As mentioned here earlier, not only were the Russians our allies and up to their necks in the War, but also the British and us Canadians and the Australians and New Zealanders and the South Africans and the Indians, etc., etc. all of Allies contributed greatly to this War. the fact is that all the countires I mentioend wer in the war against Hitler for nearly two years before the Americans were woken up by Pearl Harbor.
In no way does this diminush the incredible American contribution to the eventual defeat of the Axis, but I think Americans would be well served to be made aware of the contributions (and the staggering losses of people and freedoms in many cases) made by the other members of the Allied cause.
