The point is, the USSR defeated two thirds of the Nazi Army, and they were a major factor in the defeat of the Third Reich.

i'm nt to sure about the russain tanks being superior, i rmeember reading that the Germans were much mroe prepared and advanced in military fasions, mainly because as soon as hitler came in power he started the training of 10 year olds and such to prep them for war, and then when they became older they were all gung ho and stuff, not only that, germany also had a lot more time to prepare (before they made an alliance with USSR), in the end it was Hitler being stupid that brought the downfall of the Nazis, because he decided to turn on Russia
ANYWAYS, BACK ON TOPIC!!!
