I do think the British played a enormous role, although they did have misplaced trust in Monty, who all but wiped out the British 1st Airborne. Now, to the point at hand, the Russkies. They had only two things in their favor, numbers and winter. As I have come to understand it, and correct me if I'm wrong, they also wasted conscripts, used them for clearing minefields and pointless rushes against the Krauts. The Russians didn't win because of skill, just numbers. The Krauts were better soldiers, and I have one figure to prove as such, Russkie dead: 6,115,000 wounded:14,012,000 Kraut dead : (est.)3,300,000 wounded : (est.) 4,605,000. This is from fighting on two fronts as well. This also proves someone's theory, I don't remember who, that the most killed isn't always the winning factor. AND FINALLY, the turning point of WWII was the opening of a second front, losing much needed men and material. Nooch.

Yet, Yet, again, I have to rest my case.
The Russians were the most disgraced army that Ive ever known.
