Well said, my father was in the RAF in WW2 and he always made it very clear to me that in his opinion it was the bravery and sacrifices of the Soviet people that were mainly responsible for the defeat of the Nazis.

Of course, when I was younger and the Soviet's were the "evil empire" it was difficult for me to believe this. Now, having read a lot of military history, I share his view.

Evil and brave don't contradict each other.

[cema → eru]

And yet, the Nazis were evil.

Perversely, they prided themselves on their animal friendly policies.
