Let me see, lots of countries in Europe helped the Americans. I guess you mean the UK? Sure we held our own for along time but when it comes down to it, Russia done so much work. After the Battle of Stalingrad where they wrecked 25% of the whole German war machine they simply swept all before them on the way to Berlin, while the UK and US were struggling across eastern Europe. You know why the US let Russia take Berlin? Because they simply couldn't afford to lose the troops needed to take it. It cost the Russia's over 100,000 men just to take that city, 100,000 the US couldn't lose because of the war in the pacific. Also how many Russians died in WWII? Over 20 million! While I don't agree with the way Russia does things, you have to show them some respect for what they went through compared to any other nation during the conflict in Europe.
