If the Russians hadn't been on the opposite side against the Germans, we'd be speaking German now.


I wonder how non-Stalin or non-Communist Russia would have done vs. the Germans. Purging military leadership wasn't helpful, but industrial production was.


Some of us would, perhaps. Not the British though (although you have to wonder about what would happen if Germany got the bomb first). America would definitely be speaking whatever the hell the wanted to.


Lucky that... Now only half of Europe was enslaved for generations :-(
