Notice how it's the Soviets creating the turning point in the war. History happens, interpretations change.

[@billrobertjoe]

it's almost like the Soviets were a dictatorship with alot of disposable lives

[@pyramidblack]

@@billrobertjoe isnt all wars about disposable lives? almost like democracy is disguised like this

[@billrobertjoe]

@@pyramidblack but the Soviets weren't a democracy? and the way they won the war was sending alot of inadequate soldiers, which is why they had the highest military death count out of every country in ww2, and they only fought a war on one front.

It was two-pronged, the turning point of the war. One was the Soviets at Kursk and other places and I will give them credit, the other was the Italian Campaign by America and Britain. Italy was huge because it knocked out Hitler's top ally, opened up a new front, and thus relieved pressure on the Soviets because German troops now had to be diverted to fight off this big new threat. Another significant prong to the turning point is that 1943 is when British and American bombers truly began mass raiding German industries, hampering their war machine.

斯大林亲吻着剑鞘，以无声的方式感谢英国（“他眼中满含热泪，”罗斯福后来写到，“这是我亲眼看到的。他慢慢站起身来，亲吻了宝剑。在我看来，这种格调高雅的仪态根本不像是事先准备好的。”）。然后他把剑交给坐着的罗斯福总统让他细看，罗斯福竖起宝剑，说：“他们有着真正的钢铁般的意志。”
赠剑仪式将近结束时，斯大林把宝剑转交给身边的伏罗西洛夫元帅，后者接手时可能方法不对，失手把剑掉到了地上。
