    It was a combined effort, but Russia did most of the work and lost most of the lives? Nice

      The Russians did nothing on the Western Front or North Africa.

      But yes, they lost the most lives. I’m not sure why that means it wasn’t a collaborative effort. Are you claiming that if the U.S. and Britain had sat by and done nothing, Russia would have defeated Hitler singlehandedly and liberated Western Europe? Because I find that to be a very spurious claim if so.
