In ww2 the Russians did most of he dirty work anyway. When the USA joined the war it was already clear the axis had lost.
Lol no it wasn't clear. And you're forgetting about the entire Pacific.
Russians trying to rewrite history, forgetting who supplied half their army while also joining a war against their enemy on another front (at great cost to western lives), overall saving lives as the Germans had to divert resources and ending the war in Europe sooner.
TIL... western historians deliberately glorifying the US and Britain's role in WW2 = "Russians trying to rewrite history."
That has nothing to do with the post I replied to and I even agree with western historians / hollywood greatly downplaying the eastern front.
