Nazi occupation of Minsk

How is that possible? Many of the Slavs sided with the Nazis when they took over........ maybe we have different history books? I do know that many Jews were purged from those areas. The entire Jewish population of France [well most] and Germany were wiped out.

Yes, we do. You were taught that the glorious US army had won the war.

I am sorry. We may have had Japan invaded us....they use to do experiments on our captured soldiers....alive mind you and most of them escaped war crimes.

The vast majority of those victims were Asians, mainly Chinese. The Japanese were unbelievably cruel.

I like the japanese but not the attack on pearl harbor.......and on alaska.

I hate to burst your bubble, but neither Americans, nor Brits would have lasted a week in Stalingrad or in Kursk. That was bascially close to an apocalypse.

You dropped two atomic bombs on them. That was unnecessary violence. The consequences are still there even today.

I think most of the people killed were Jews or communists.

Western Belarus re-united with eastern Belarus in 1939. Many people were targeted and deported by NKVD from western Belarus. Anti-soviet sentiments were high in the beginning of the war. In other words, there were few if any communists in that part of the country.

Belarus was on a direct path from Germany to Moscow. A partisan movement was operating behind the front line. The front-line was in Russia. So villagers were targeted for supporting partisan movements despite those partisans weren't local on many occasions. There were Jewish ghettos. There were people escaping the country. And of course war casualties.

LoL Russians lost 20 million of people during that war, claiming US won war while most decisive battles with highest proximities of casualties were fought on East.

I will quote Otto Carius -

" Americans are worst soldiers i have ever seen. If situation on East wasn't so desperate , they would be thrown back to sea"

No wonder why Belarus has almost no ancient architecture, all was destroyed during the two world wars.

After Napoleonic war, WWI, WWII and commies exploding churches few have left. There are ruins and pictures with plans. The government doesn't have money to reconstruct them.

We don't. They won almost nothing. America is capable only of bombing Arabs or terrorists.
