Soviets say Allied version of D-Day is a ‘distortion’ of history (1984)

But the Soviet Union, meanwhile, is engaged in a major effort to belittle the contribution of Western countries during World War II. The Soviet Union has long held that the Red Army bore the brunt of World War II (which is known here as the ”Great Patriotic War”) – and that it played the major role in defeating the forces of Adolf Hitler. Kraminov, in the Pravda article, argues not only that US banks financed Hitler’s wartime mobilization, but also that the US blocked early efforts by the Soviet Union to provide for a ”collective defense” of Europe from Hitler’s advance.
