It Is Victory Day In Former Soviet Union Today.

27 million Soviet Citizens, most of them civilians, more than 11 million Red Army soldiers and officers died freeing the world from the scourge of Nazism. But not according to Pentagon, whose history is a bit fuzzy and whose "historians" today placed the "milestones" about VE-Day with a single mentioning of the USSR in it--like this:

I am not going to discuss a deliberate lie about the start of the WWII, but I can assure Pentagon's "historians" that none of them has biographies such as my or millions other Russian and, in general, Soviet families, who had half of the families, especially male parts wiped out by the war on the fronts of what is generally known in the West as Eastern Front. Pentagon, which can show very little for its military "successes" resorted to a normal modern Western practice of rewriting the history and stealing  the valor. Sadly, there is no Stolen Valor Act in international relations but what Pentagon's "historians" do not understand that not only they have very weak basic arithmetic behind their numbers, they also expose themselves as ignoramuses who have zero understanding of military history by "splitting" Eastern Front from the Western one, where no VE-Day could have occurred if not for 80% of cream of the cream of Axis troops annihilated in the East. But then again, when all "victories" happen only in media space, it is not surprising that such excrement of a "history" appears on Pentagon's site. 

Maria Zaharova already commented on this pathetic attempt to rewrite history (in Russian). Including quoting today's article in Der Spiegel by Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and historian Andreas Wirshing that it was Germany alone who, by attacking Poland, unleashed WW II. But never mind, I knew that rewriting of history is the main task of US Mini-true in a desperate attempt to hide the truth about the single formative event of our present world we all live in, the event from which the United States profited greatly on the ruins of the post-WWII world. It is disgusting to see this, especially at the 75th Anniversary of the Victory and it is paramount to hold, which is the plan, Victory Parade at the Red Square followed by the massive marches of Immortal Regiment. Due to Covid-19 epidemic, millions of people in Russia today will be putting photos of their relatives who fought in that war on the fronts and in the rear in the windows of their houses and apartments--these are the numbers which are beyond the grasp of Pentagon's "court" historians who have no clue about proportionality and scale of the effort to defeat the most powerful military machine in history. So, my best wishes and congratulations to my friends all over the globe with the 75th Anniversary of Victory in the most horrific war in human history. 

Austria's Federal Chancellor asked Putin to address Austrian nation on this 75th. Unprecedented. 

Hm, Something Is Missing....

And I can not exactly put my finger on what it is (wink, wink). As manufacturer of these commemorative coins states:

After a long four years of war and sacrifice in World War II, the Allies were finally victorious. It was a time for the Greatest Generation to rejoice and reflect on the gains and losses of the war, and the bright future of freedom that lay ahead. Now, remember all those who secured the liberties we enjoy today with this World War II Victory 75th Anniversary Proof Coin Collection, exclusively from The Bradford Exchange Mint. This historic collection begins with Issue One, The World War II Victory 75th Anniversary. 

I still cannot  exactly identify what is strange about this coin. 

So, I had to go and dig a bit deeper into the history of WW II and lo and behold. Even Dr. Seuss knew a thing a two in 1943 what was really going on.

Soviets certainly were much more conscious about all that:

With Unified Strike

But never mind, the idea that Overlord couldn't have been possible without coordinated actions between Allies and USSR--the exact topic number one on the agenda at Tehran Conference--can give some people an aneurysm.  Red Army, as was settled, to relieve Allies in Normandy unleashed on June 22, 1944 Operation Bagration, which annihilated Wehrmacht's Army Group Center and ensured that Allies were able to breakout of the beachheads they captured on D-Day. Well that, and a simple fact that 80% of the best Axis forces perished on Eastern Front--you know, a small contribution by the Soviets, who still erect monuments to their valiant Allies:

Other than that, this new commemorative coin is just another step in a complete rewriting of history, which is needed for reinforcing self-proclaimed exceptionalist myth of the United States. I warned about this from the start of this blog:

The crucible of the modern world we live in remains on the battlefields of the World War II. It was an event of unprecedented scale in human history. In fact, it dwarfed anything humanity had experienced before. The Allied victory over Nazism seemed to pave the way to a better future but things changed very fast. One way they changed was the fact that, as David Glantz and Jonathan House note in their seminal "When Titans Clashed" (pages 275-276):"...the Soviets,by rights, had an undisputed claim to the lion's share of the spoils of this victory over Nazi Germany. In Western perceptions, however, the political consequences of that victory deprived the Soviet Union of that right."Here, these two brilliant American scholars, make one substantial mistake--the claims were not "undisputed", the whole industry, from media to academe, was born to dispute and to completely pervert the history of WW II.This industry is alive and well and it continues to work to reinforce generally Anglo-Saxon, and American in particular, point that it was thanks to the United States that the Nazi Germany was defeated.

As you can see, the process of rewriting the WW II history continues. As I pointed out to one such buffoon from, where else, The National Interest dumpster, about two years ago. In the end--they need to believe, without it--their world collapses.
