The extent of preparedness that each country had is widely different. Plan Barbarossa hit the Soviet Union, which was trying to remain neutral after the civil war busy rebuilding the country, very hard. Only in 43~ had the Soviet Union start producing what the army needed, before that the army was literally not capable to fight the Nazi Germany.

German Tanks, Planes, mortars, and etc. Were all an extreme threat to an army which was at the moment stuck with Mosins. Defense position were stormed with Blitzkrieg, and the majority infantry positions was not prepared for that.

Of course no addressing the racism. You just say Lend Lease to show ever more deeply how clueless you are on the eastern front. Lend lease indeed did help the Soviet Union, most of it were trucks that were very much thanked for, as they allowed the soviet union to industrialize faster. Tanks, sadly, were completely underperforming in the eastern European conditions, the tankers of the Soviet Union much preferred the T-34 over any British made tank. Aircraft, was not allied with different concepts of the purpose of it on the battlefield. Western powers were using them to strike deep into the territory, meanwhile the Soviet Union preferred more heavier, but better for the front line, aircraft.

All in all, the role of Lend Lease was not that great. Soviets had their own conditions on the eastern front, with weather and material conditions completely differing to both US and Britain. This lead to the Lend Lease indeed helping the Soviet Union. But probably only to shorter the war by several months, not to win it. It is quite disgusting for you to respond in such a manner. I hope you change as a person.

Yeah, the non aggression pact, trying to save what was left of Poland. (Guess where the Jewish people fled?) Its not like it was the only country(which unlike others, had reasons, tsarist regime and the civil war are not great for neither the army nor people) which was wishing to isolate itself from expanding Nazi Germany, not like US was neutral(and the businesses were allied) regarding Nazi Germany till last moment. And no, Germany did not pay a heavy price, just the rhetoric about Muslims in the German politics today can say that.

Also, I would like to mention, the fight against Fascism was done by the SOVIET PEOPLE, not only by Russians (my human waves!!!), this alone says a lot about your knowledge of history…

Of course, “Russians are also subhuman and only used human waves”. The sacrifice of the tens of millions of the Soviet people towards defeating fascism was to be never forgotten. Yet here we are… While the USSR struggled to fight a major financed power (Nazi Germany was actually in pretty good relations to the US and British businesses, example is Ford), after having a civil war, and trying to scrape by with whatever bullshit the Tsarist Regime has left to them. US tried to stay isolated from the conflict, because they if anything, had better relations with the Nazi Germany than with the Soviet Union.

This comment is disgusting, people died defending not only their republics from fascism, but liberated others. And you boil it all down to " Human Waves", simple historical research will prove you not only wrong, but also racist. (Guess who invented the “Russian human wave” myth?) I wish for you to reconsider your frankly racist opinions…
