Eighty Years On: Honoring VE Day and Confronting the Rising Tide of Holocaust Denial
Did a web search : "No results found for US did “more than any other Country [sic], by far,” in beating the Germans in the war,." But even though , lets not get into yet another discussion about what Donald Trump has said or didn't say -

Eighty Years On: Honoring VE Day and Confronting the Rising Tide of Holocaust Denial
You are confused. Russians and Slavs were not sent to extermination camps. Russians both POWS and civilian deportees were sent to labour camps where they were often worked to death. However, their living conditions were slightly better than those earmarked for death. Because they were used for work, their food rations were higher. An estimated 250,000-500,000 Roma were killed in mass shootings or either labour or designated extermination camps. They were treated much worse than the Russians because they were to be killed. The people who deny their death, also deny the that the holocaust occurred. There is no differentiation. Because Russia had its own system of gulags that were just as bad as those operated by Germany and had sent Poles, political dissidents, and non ethnic Russians to the gulags, had committed its own atrocities in Ukraine and Poland, and had been an enabling ally of Nazi Germany, sympathy for Russia was hard to muster. It in no way diminishes the wrongful acts visited upon Russian POWS or civilians, but makes it difficult for Russia to claim victimization since it had also been a participant in the wrongful acts.- 1

Well, a certain present-day US megalomaniac just a few days ago posted that the US did “more than any other Country [sic], by far,” in beating the Germans in the war, and 35 percent of US Americans will fall in line and unquestioningly believe the statement, so there’s that. Said megalomaniac I'm sure has never heard of the Eastern Front.- 1
