@onlmaps during the Second World War, twenty thousand fighters of the French Resistance died. And against the USSR, on the Soviet-German front, two hundred thousand Frenchmen fought. So who was France fighting?
When the Germans entered Paris in the spring of 1940, their losses were less than, for example, in the capture of one building in Stalingrad held by Sergeant Pavlov and his unit of a dozen soldiers. http://samlib.ru/l/leshenko_j_i/doc1.shtml #WWII#WW2#history#france#germany#USSR

Even Winston Churchill during his first wartime radio broadcast later that year admitted:
“Russia has pursued a cold policy of self-interest. We could have wished that the Russian Armies should be standing on their present line as the friends and allies of Poland, instead of as invaders. But that the Russian Armies should stand on this line was clearly necessary for the safety of Russia against the Nazi menace.” https://www.unz.com/article/the-eu-is-rewriting-wwii-history-to-demonize-russia/ #western#lie about #WWII#WW2#history
