The US Secretary of Defense did not even mention the USSR, talking about the victory over Nazism in World War II.

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during his speech dedicated to the anniversary of the landing of allied forces in Normandy on June 6, 1944 - an event included in history titled Operation Overlord, praised the role of all veterans who participated in World War II. But in his speech, the head of the Pentagon did not even mention the role of the USSR and the contribution of the Soviet people to the victory over Nazism.

The statement of the head of the American military department at the American cemetery in Normandy:

Dear veterans, we salute you. You really saved the world

During his speech, the American minister recalled how France, as well as many European countries, were under the yoke of Nazism 79 years ago, emphasizing "the common contribution made by young people from the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, France and other countries" with the goal of "liberating suffering humanity." Apparently, the USSR is among "and other countries" ...

As they say, pushing his speech, Austin also touched on the situation around the Ukrainian crisis, mentioning the training of Ukrainians in Germany.

The reaction of the Kremlin was not long in coming: as Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, noted, the Russian people, unlike the American people, will continue to cover true historical events so that the younger generations in the country know, be proud of and honor the memory of the Great Patriotic War ( WWII), as well as about the feat of the Soviet people. At the same time, the deputy head of the Presidential Administration of Russia expressed regret that the Americans, apparently, do not know the history of the Second World War and the Second World War.

Recall that earlier the head of the Russian state, Vladimir Putin, during the All-Russian open lesson, said that thanks to the efforts of the Red Army, more than 80% of the equipment and manpower of the enemy on the Eastern Front was “ground”. Moreover, the Russian leader then added, Western politicians and historians are well aware of who stormed Berlin and who destroyed the Nazi criminals and their accomplices.

But I won’t even be surprised if it turns out that this "ember" does not even know about the role of the USSR in the defeat of Nazi Germany during WWII.
Judging by the reports and information that comes from behind the hillock, in the Western countries of Europe and the USA, the significance of the USSR is deliberately hushed up, therefore, in the educational process there, the USSR as a country that played a decisive role in the defeat of fascism is not mentioned, reducing everything to to the fact that the United States destroyed the USSR.

And finally, according to politically correct propagandists, the main role in the whole war was played by Negros oh sorry, African Americans. There was once an obituary for some fighter pilot, like a hero and all that. I flew a Mustang, so excuses like "they gave worse" do not work. A hell of a lot of sorties, and not a single (!!!) shot down, and why did you only burn gasoline and waste motor resources? On the other hand, there are countless awards, moreover, most of them were awarded during the years of militant political correctness, for the fact that he lived up to this political correctness.

the general contribution made by young people from the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, France and other countries" with the aim of "liberating suffering humanity" ++++++ .Well done, keep up the good work.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Do we remember the name of Stalin from the official stands?

[Legate]

According to Zakharova, Stalin burns in hell twice as brightly as Hitler

[rocket757]

We also hide the MAUSOLEUM for the holidays ...
Tell me who is ruling you and I will tell you how you will live ...

[paul3390]

Don't care about them. But among the people the memory of him will be as long as we will exist in general. And flowers will always be brought to his grave. And looking at the deeds of the current authorities - people invariably say one thing - "Stalin is not against you, Herods" ..

[rocket757]

No, no, it’s even better to spit in a mighty bunch !!! The result will be more tangible.

[paul3390]

Well, let's wait until society is ripe for such an action and accumulate poisonous saliva ..

Among other things, I had two dreams - to put flowers at the grave of Comrade Stalin, and to shit on Yeltsin's grave .. A couple of years ago - I still managed to put flowers while passing through the capital. So maybe - and with the second one, sooner or later you will be lucky?

Moreover, there is an extramural campaign "Two carnations for Stalin", you transfer money - and your carnations are carried to his grave on his birthday and death anniversary .. So - maybe one of the Muscovites can organize such a service? I think it would be very popular with people.

Well, it’s indecent to lower your pants yourself, and it’s kind of punishable, like a violation of public order. But it’s quite possible to take a Bobby to Yeltsin’s grave, that’s why he’s a Bobby, to do his business wherever he can.

[paul3390]

The sad thing is not that the mattresses don’t know about the Second World War, the sad thing is that thanks to the type of education reforms, our young people are already not entirely aware of who, for what, and most importantly, how our heroic grandfathers fought .. However, what they didn’t fight for less important, if not more important, especially in light of recent events.

But this is just one of Putin's devastating reforms! For which - not that no one answered - many are still quite in action to this day .. And they continue to destroy our country and our people very successfully.

[Commissar Kitten]

Grandfathers fought because Hitler attacked. When someone starts telling the youngsters that their grandfathers fought for geopolitics (and therefore the youngsters must go into the trenches and catch grenades from the drone with their faces), the youngsters rightly believe that they are trying to cheaply and primitively breed them.

[paul3390]

Aaaah.. Another liberal underage storyteller? I don’t need to rub it in - I found my grandfather who fought and his generation, and I remember their stories for what they fought.

[Commissar Kitten]

Well, okay, for geopolitics so for geopolitics.

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

How is it, young people are taught what their grandfathers fought for: "for a bun and a tram", "against the leadership", "because they are Russians"

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

The point is not Putin, but the interests of which class he represents. Well, there won't be one, there will be another one, in the end +/- it will be the same. What we clearly saw in Ukraine, when the muzzles in power changed, but in fact nothing changed for the people, because the ruling class (moneybags of the capitalists) remained the same

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

This Unkle Bance doesn't even know about it. Nothing surprising.

[oleg Pesotsky]

It's news to me too. The Russian leadership also does not mention a word about the role of the USSR in the cause of that Victory. On May 9th, in general, the Mausoleum is clogged with plywood, and the name of the commander in chief and the role of the Bolshevik Party are banned. If in Russia itself there is a spitting of history, then what is to be demanded from the West?

[rocket757]

The US Secretary of Defense did not even mention the USSR, talking about the victory over Nazism in World War II.

. What to expect? It's not hard to guess...
The less they become, the less significant, the more nonsense and pathos will be in the speeches of their superiors, the ruling.
Nothing new, it happened more than once in the history of mankind.

[ax1stoyn]

Well, the Americans have long been prepared for the fact that they won WW2, in the same books. Now we need to fix it on the screens and say later that they will win again with the help of Ukraine

[Fan-fan]

Well, why be offended over trifles. And on May 9, from the official stands, do they remember the American contribution to the victory?

The "contribution" of the Americans is loot, basically. Which they then recaptured many times.

The "contribution" of the USSR is the lives of soldiers and not only. Which are still very lacking.

I wouldn't compare that. And you would not recommend.

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

And who fought with the Japanese, is this not a contribution?

[Mwg]

That's right: history is written by the winner. They merged the USSR and even now they are embarrassed to remember its achievements and are immediately surprised "ay-yay-yay, bad Americans, they didn’t remember the USSR." And they will not remember, they won, and we endured. And weakly journalistic moaning to replace the revival of the USSR??

[Andrea]

We will always remember the Great Patriotic War, just as long as Kulikovo, Neva, Patriotic 1812, Crimean, World War I, Khalkin Gol, Finnish. There were other ... wars with Turkey, it seems to me that they were no less important for the fate of the fatherland, but for some reason little is said and written about them. As for the Americans ... these are unfinished gentlemen, where instead of conscience, greed, and instead of honor, ambition. However, the classic gentlemen also degenerated into the same ch.m.o.shnikov.

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

And what about our Deripaskas, Potanins, Abramovichs, how is it with conscience and greed? Their greed and conscience is somehow different from greed and conscience
their American, British or French counterparts in dangerous capitalist business?

[Radical]

The US Secretary of Defense did not even mention the USSR, talking about the victory over Nazism in World War II.

Why should anyone be surprised if in our country they prefer not to mention the name of the Supreme Commander on Victory Day, under whose leadership the USSR won in 1945?

[Million]

The inhabitants of the Kremlin, the current and previous ones, work very poorly, and therefore we have what we have.

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

They work well, just not at what you expect from them.

[VOVA30930]

Was at one time in France, a small town, the city center, the case takes place in early May. There is a small monument in honor of the victory over Nazism, four flags have been installed, three are clear which ones, I think the fourth one is ours.
He stopped, got out of the car, looked - the Canadian flag. Everything just turned upside down, cursed and left.
Nobody even remembers us. They themselves defeated everyone, especially the French obviously tried.

[Mikhail Krivopalov]

Well, who liberated France, they put it to him, what's surprising then? I don’t remember the Soviet troops liberating France

In 1995, I watched the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the victory, but there were no Soviet or Russian flags either. It seems that there were even flags of the Baltic countries and Hungary.

talking baby))) that's what emigration does to people would live in Africa would be a man and so (((

Black monkeys were not taught history lessons.

[Cresta999]

And even earlier, the President of the Russian Federation awarded Solzhenitsyn, financed the Yeltsin Center, modestly hung the mausoleum on May 9 and said that the Union produced galoshes. So why are we better than the Americans?! Absolutely the same line of conduct. So there is nothing to be surprised and nothing to resent!

[Semovente7534]

When it comes to Operation Overlord, and therefore the Normandy landings, not a single Australian was involved, so Mr. Austin is not only biased, but also a liar.

[Metallurg_2]

Personally, Private Ryan decided all the Germans in Normandy.

[Nexcom]

Nifiga. It was Tom Hanks (Lieutenant Miller) who extinguished all the Nazis there. And in Vietnam - Forest Gump!

[Vasily12]

USA is a country of thieves, murderers, liars, scum. Nothing human can be expected from them.

[unhappy]

A more precise formulation and it must be repeated always at any opportunity!
The German army lost two-thirds of its people and equipment on the eastern front - this is a historical fact. The decisive contribution to the victory over Hitler was made by the Soviet Union and it was only helped by other members of the coalition (like America and co.).
