From everyone I know, they do get credit. Russians are some tough SOBs. Are we talking college age and beyond that don't give respect? Or high schoolers who wouldn't have been taught the entire history of WWII (which would take up more than a year)? Everyone knows Russia sustained the largest losses, but then again, they didn't give a rat's ass about their own troops, as proven by sending them out to the front lines with NO GUNS in many cases. They would shoot their own men for retreating when a tactical retreat was necessary. Not the most humane of countries. Also, The countries the USSR took from Germany turned into a craphole and the ones the West took over, or rather, gave back to the people, ended up thriving. So that has something to do with it. Plus, people learn more about their own country's history first. So we learn about D-day and Pearl Harbor. Also, keep in mind it was basically the USA vs Japan in the other part of the war, so when telling history, we have two fronts to cover. Just like the Japanese probably learn more about the Chinese side of WWII since the USA and China were their main foes.
BOOM! FACE KICK!
