Man there are some STRONG feelings out there about Soviet contributions in WWII
Usually tied to Soviet body count, which isn't surprising. You can't lose 20 million people without it being a pretty big deal

The Soviets were able to fight their way back due to Allied investment, Allied supplies, manpower reserves, and national will -- not just national will and manpower reserves alone. Also, that the Japanese did not try a redux of the Russo-Japanese War.
