'Alone' Among Allies? Why Putin Shunned The West In Victory Day Speech

In his speeches at the annual Red Square military parade marking the anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II, Russian President Vladimir Putin has
repeatedly emphasized the massive role the Soviet Union played, while often minimizing the contributions made by the Western Allies, including the United States.
This year, he seemed to take that approach a step further, even going off-script -- possibly -- to suggest that the Soviet Union essentially defeated Hitler on its own. The remark drew criticism from Russians who accuse Putin of using the people's pride in the victory in the war, which killed an estimated 27 million Soviet citizens and left few families untouched, for his own political purposes.

General Patton: "Have Taken Trier, Do You Want Me to Give it Back?"

Share This:
In the early months of 1945, the war in Europe was coming to a conclusion.
In mid-to-late February, the Russians, driving from the east, were pushing the German army backward and had arrived less than 100 miles from Berlin. Poland, where the war had begun in 1939, was almost completely in the hands of the Soviets. After the bloody Battle of the Bulge, the American, British, French, and Canadian troops were pushing into Germany from the west and entering the Ruhr, where Germany’s industrial might was located.
It was during this time, on March 2, 1945, when General George Patton radioed one of the most brilliant and smart-assed messages to Allied Supreme Headquarters.

Operation Torch: Why Did America Fight French Forces in 1942?

Operation Torch: Why Did America Fight French Forces in 1942?
Instead of welcoming American troops with brass bands, Vichy France’s colonial forces fought back with everything they had.
Here's What You Need to Know: Early in the North African campaign, American tankers battled the Vichy French.
Lucian Truscott needed a cigarette. The 47-year-old brigadier general was having the worst night of his life. Earlier that day, American troops under his command charged ashore on the Atlantic coast of French Morocco as part of Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa. From the start, though, almost nothing went right.
“As far as I could see along the beach there was chaos,” Truscott recalled. “Landing craft were beaching in the pounding surf, broaching to the waves, and spilling men and equipment into the water. Men wandered about aimlessly, hopelessly lost, calling to each other and for their units, swearing at each other and at nothing.”

The voices of America: how radio helped the West to defeat Communism in Europe

The voices of America: how radio helped the West to defeat Communism in Europe
The last American station on German airwaves is gone. So ends a fascinating history of propaganda, jazz cats and revolutionary rock ’n’ roll

When the English-language radio station KCRW Berlin ceased broadcasting last month – another victim of the pandemic – it ended a 75-year history of American stations on the German airwaves. That lineage began with the Allied invasion of occupied Europe, and played out throughout the Cold War: a story of propaganda, youth revolution and rock ’n’ roll DJs.

In 1944, "Operation Bagration" Sent the Nazis Into Full Panic

At this point in the war, Germany could not replace its losses.
Here's What You Need To Remember: The Nazis failed spectacularly in the summer of 1944 for three main reasons - elaborated below.
The Soviet army’s Operation Bagration offensive in June 1944 destroyed their greatest nemesis — Nazi Germany’s Army Group Center — and drove hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and thousands of tanks from east of Minsk into the Third Reich itself.
It was, arguably, the greatest disaster for Germany in World War II, ironically kicking off three years to the day after Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union, and resulting in more than 400,000 casualties inflicted on the Reich’s already badly-depleted armed forces.
