If it wasn’t for the British, American, Canadian and Norwegian Arctic convoys that supplied the Soviets, they wouldn’t have survived the German offensive.

If the Allies had pushed the Soviets back to Russia at the end of the war, Stalin wouldn’t have succeeded (Empire building) where Hitler failed.

Stalin was Hitler on steroids.

Agree The Atlantic conveys Helped keep Russia in fight while they relocated there factories east of the Urals 

As for the allies being able to push the Russians back After the defeat of Germany which I think your getting at . No don’t forget America  still fighting japan after the defeat of Germany  and the  Red army was way to strong in Europe. 34 million served in red army in total . They weren’t going any were 

Agree about hitler and Stalin .

Not just the Americans fighting Japan. I mentioned in another thread that Dad was still involved with other naval operations against Japan till VJ Day. Agree about the difficulty of pushing back the Ruskis though. Ironic that we went to war because Hitler invaded Poland and that it ended up as part of the Soviet Empire.

My grandad was in Burma fighting the Japanese and was in Singapore before it was invaded was lucky to get out of there . 
 

the funny thing was with Poland it was invaded by German and the Russia at the same time  in 39 but Britain and France only declared war on  Germany . Reason  being we only had a treaty with Poland  in case Germany invaded . Germany and Russia had a pact till hitler tore it up big mistake on is part
