Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

It was the Russians who defeated the Nazis, due to time and numbers (and greater industrial output).

Actually, that's a myth 

1. Russia didn't beat the Germans alone without Allied help they would have been screwed.

2. The only time Russia had was the Russian climate and that had more to do with terrible German planning and logistics than the Russians themselves.

3. The idea Human wave is simply a myth. Russia throughout ww2 had acute manpower shortages and throughout Operation Barbarossa the Germans had more troops.

4. Russian industrial capacity didn't win the war either. Without land leases , Russia would have been screwed.
