But it not fair that you are judge USSR fo alliance with Hitler, but not judge France and Britain.

Thats really true!!! :)

What I'm say is that up until Hitler betrayed Stalin, Germany and the USSR were allies whom admired and respected each other. After their falling out, Germany was slowly crushed between the armed forces of the US in the west and the armed forces of the USSR in the east. "armed forces of the US...
