Most us propagandized flunkies in the inglorious West don't actually know our history.

From ~23:30 for the knock your socks off department of actual history:

Remembrance. Rewriting history - Red Army’s role in liberating Europe censored in the West-gGOnJJRYy4o [RT WWII documentary] 52:33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGOnJJRYy4o Here's the punch line: [23:28] Today, many among the European elites prefer to overlook the fact that back then, there was no one in Europe who could actually fight back against fascism. The governments of some countries endorsed Hitler, while for the others, it was a matter of days before they capitulated: [23:55] France lasted 43 days Poland 36 days Greece 24 days Norway 24 days Belgium 18 days Yugoslavia 11 days Netherlands 5 days Albania 3 days Denmark 1 day Czechoslvakia - "surrendered without a fight" The USSR? Fought on for FOUR years! [24:25] Neither the Soviet authorities, nor the people, ever dreampt about leaving their country at the mercy of fascists. That's why, all over Europe, there are millions of graves of Soviet soldiers. .. [24:55] The brunt of the suffering was borne by the Soviet Union - almost half of the deaths of World War II were suffered by the Soviet Union; both in the Red Army, and among the civilian population. And they played a decisive role in the final victory over Nazi Germany. Russians. What a people.
