I guess they did, but for some reason Ive always had sort of an aversion to reading about them and their exploits.
I vastly prefer reading about the battle of London, Operation Torch and D-day as opposed to anything the Russians did. It just seems like such a bloody, bad and cold place to be at that time, so I prefer not to read about it. I also pity the German soldiers who froze to death and were starved at Stalingrad. Not all of them were Nazis you know!
Btw, I really really hate reading about the Italian campaign. It just was a long hard slog to nowhere it seemed. Ever wonder why hollywood makes so few movies about the Italian theater? There was no Italian campaign version of saving Private Ryan(thoughh the Pacific version, the Thin Red Line is fantastic!!). Perhaps because it was primarily a British/Austrlian venture with only minority Yankee support?
Anyway, the Soviet contribution just doesn't interest me much, so I tend not to read about it.
