I know the OP was a douche, no doubt about that. But literally every time World War Two gets brought up there is always some immense circle jerk about how the Western Allies, specifically the US, didn't account for jack shit during that war and that the Soviets did ALL of the hard work. And that logic permeates into like every sub and every post about World War Two. I have even seen it applied to the Pacific about how the US didn't do much.

I get it. The Eastern front was a much bigger war. Most of the heavy German tanks and most of the men went there. I get it, you get it, we all get it. But it is always so damn black and white, there were so many factors and contributions from so many different nations big and small that helped the war effort, but it always comes back to "Fuck you, the Soviets won it!!" And when someone challenges it the comeback is always about the American education system. I obviously can't speak for everybody but I learned in my rural-suburban high school that the biggest battles and all of that jazz were in the east. Hell even most of those pandering "USA USA" military shows say the same thing. But it was a big war with a lot of people and alot nations involved and the super smart populace of Reddit always boil it down to one thing, I mean I will agree that Americans can get douchey about it.....like OP but I don't really think that changes anything that happened 70 years ago. Why can't people just a long and give credit where credit is due to whomever deserves it.

I just find it funny that from a group of people who pride themselves at knowing everything about everything they always boil the biggest conflict of history down to some stupid kneejerk "you aren't as good as you think you are" type of reaction.
