Not exactly sure what you mean. 75% of the war losses in material and people were lost on the eastern front. So I presume I agree with you in that the US has had this fable that ‘we’ won the war. Whereas Russia may have been able to do it on its own or with material help from us.
As for our view of history we have become the bully that we were supposedly fighting against. We promised Gorby that we would not expand NATO eastward and that we would have them join 1st as an observer and then as a full fledged member. Instead we have created an anti-Russian military alliance which is intent on destroying Russia. So much for truth in the west. So can anyone trust us to keep our word any more?

Anyone else had this

They would sell millions of them. Which means the Mint will never go for it.
