Jim Carroll: "The Soviet Union payed in helping defeat fascism is far too often forgotten - estimated at up to 26.5 million dead - around 13.7% of the total Soviet population.
It seems more than a little mean-minded to suggest that anybody came to its rescue - the war was about nations coming together to defeat fascism -.."

Jim, I am not asking this in a contentious manner, partly because I think you've hit a great point...so, in that spirit you said, "...the war was about nations coming together to defeat fascism -..". So, being as Fascism in Germany was the Nazi Party, which in itself is The National Socialist Party, and the Soviets were Socialists, and Churchill is also accused of being a Fascist, and the Bush family, are noted for giving support to the German Nazi regime, as were many 'sympathizers' at the time, one has to wonder, was it really against Fascism, or something else?...and how does the Socialism, embodied in Nazi Germany differ from any other Socialism....especially when, let's say, Socialism today, has at its goal, to become a National Socialist Party, with the elimination of any other opposing points of view...and moreover, when do you think that goal would be achieved??
Fair question...give it some thought, OK??
Looking forward to your reply.
