Thanks for pointing out that ambiguity Geo., what I meant by *we* was the
west in general. Adam's right too it was a mistake to let the Soviet Union
survive, but I kind of doubt there was much will toward fixing that at the
time -- as good as it would have been in retrospect. "


So where was your comment then? The Red Army took on & defeated the
vast bulk of the Wehrmacht. over 75% or their losses.

& yet Mark witters on from his usual position of ignorance about "we the
west" winning WW2 where it is much more accurate to say "They the
East" won WW2.
