Each year in May and November we hear all the stories about Allies,
whose heroic entry in the World War II changed the course of war and
led to the victory.  Nothing is true in this propaganda: in June of
1944, Hitler was kicked out of the USSR and part of Eastern Europe, he
was essentially defeated.  Allies entered the war for the sole purpose
not to allow Stalin grab all of Europe and to share the spoils of war.
They did the same in WWI by entering the war one year before its end.

There was little heroic in the way Allies fought Hitler: they got stuck
in Ardennes and begged Stalin to start his attack earlier than he
planned in order to attract part of German army from Ardennes to him.
Stalin was happy to oblige.  During the time Soviet army liberated
Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Albania and conquered most of
Germany, Berlin included, Allies still have not managed to liberate all
major cities of Holland by the war end.  The Dutch are still grateful,
but this is just an indication of their nicety; which has nothing to do
with -the facts.

Then there was yet another fiasco with airborne attack near Arnhem in
the Netherlands: dumb Montgomery sent British solders to a sure death.
I saw recently a show entitled "Heroic Escape" about British, who stuck
near Arnhem and managed to escape back to their Army.  They did it by
hiding in Dutch families, who helped them endangering their own lives
and taking the food out of mouth of their children, while the whole
Holland was starving.  They were hiding, month after month, and shy
Dutch people did not have the courage to tell these parasites to recall
that they were soldiers and that their duty was to fight enemy and to
die if necessary, rather than be hiding among civilians.

There is nothing heroic in a soldier running away from the enemy.  Let
us call a spade a spade: "heroic" soldier running away from the enemy
is called coward.
