Listening to Mike Pence’s history, you might think it wasn’t Soviets but Americans who liberated Auschwitz [rt.com]

Truth be told, we in the US have been hood winked about that war since its time. Forget about 75 years later, but the entire 75 years. Just like WWI the Russians didn't want any part of that war either. Very likely being they were watching how Germany was allowed against post WWI agreements of rebuilding their military, funded and supported by numerous western corporations and banks, along with Hitler and western entities holding secret meetings. Russia had their own security issues to deal with under a constant backlash from the western countries.
Sleeping With The Third Reich: America’s Unspoken “Alliance” with Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union
The Wall has been another 75 years of hoodwinking perception management. That also was an American construct idea.
WWII was a corporate money making machine with technology still vastly advancing from WWI weaponry. And what better way to take advantage of this than supporting various sides, especially when one is your main chosen enemy the communist who can buy that support. It was a win win for the western counties as Russia is invaded by Germany losing nearly 27 million people while you're draining them of much needed currency resources.
History of World War II: America Was Providing Military Aid to the USSR, While Also Supporting Nazi Germany
About now the Iraq---Iran war of the 80's should be smacking you upside your heads.
I would suggest within conjecture of course, Hitler was enticed to invade Russia in those secret meetings under the advice he would be helped to win against Russia.
{US President Franklin D. Roosevelt explicitly stated that aid to Russia was money well spent, and his successor in the White House, Harry Truman, was quoted in the pages of New York Times in June 1941 as saying,
“If we see that Germany is winning the war, we ought to help Russia; and if that Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany, and in that way let them kill as many as possible …”}

Simply identifying that America has been run by a bunch of c*nts for a long time.
@FrayedBear I just wanted to add some more history to it for those who need to know the truth. God dam mit FB, I have an agenda here! 
@William_Mary Agenda - dec*ntification of USA?
@William_Mary Your response opened my eyes to a few things, thank you.
@FrayedBear exactly
I don't know which one though I thought it was Auschwitz, but I met a very good (ex-Californian) friend's dad who had been about 18 when his company marched into that or Birkenau or maybe somewhere else with the Americans. I think the Nazis had all left. Anyway his daughter had never before heard him telling about the war. He was crying in front of me. He had been trained to cut people's throats being dropped behind lines but he said the worst part was being camped with US army close to Russians and watching them butchering Germans.

Before long you will be able to read historical documents affirming Russian sacrifice and contribution to Nazi downfall in WWII.
I have a 96 yo Dutch friend who in his mid teenage years suffered Nazi occupation of Holland for five years and saw the brutality of the Germans. The Germans learnt much of their behaviour of how to treat conquered countrie's citizens from Bonaparte's French invaders. Russians were treated far worse than the Dutch by their German invaders.
@FrayedBear And Germans were treated by the Russians with terrible revenge. They were furious with the Germans, There is a man in our town who escaped a Russian POW camp after being captured from the German army. I think he was very lucky. He is a lovely man.
@rogerbenham There are many who think Kissinger, The Bush Family, the Clintons, Obama, Stalin, Churchill, Pol Pot, Pinochet, Mother Theresa, Mao Tse Tung, et al to be lovely people. Then there are those who don't.
I had an in law who was incarcerated in Changi by the Japanese. After escaping several times he was shipped to work in the coal mines in Hiroshima. By the time that I knew him in the late seventies he was blind as a result of inadequate diet at the hands of the Japanese.
You could not mention anything japanese like Toyota, Mitsubishi or Tokyo in his presence unless you wished to listen to a tirade of hatred. He never expressed his Prime Minister Curtin's public view that Churchill simply abandoned the defenders of Singapore (English, Australian, Canadian and Indian troops to their fates in order to preserve the appearance of a mighty Britain). Churchill never forgave Curtin, a colonial, for expressing his views.
@rogerbenham I have just spent a fruitless fifteen minutes trying to locate a wonderful song written by a Dubliner Uilick O'Boyle which includes reference to Germans working on the Snowy Mountain Hydro scheme here in Australia after WWII.
Here is what I have found so far:
YouTube introduction to The Cooma Cavaliers :
"The Snowy Mountains Scheme brought together over 100,000 people from more than 30 different countries, including Australia, to work on what is recognised as one of the greatest engineering projects in the world.
"In the days when the great Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme was taking shape as one of the world's great engineering feats, an Irishman, Ulick O'Boyle who was a concrete worker on the Scheme, set down in song his impressions of the places, the people and the work that was being done. To perform the songs he had written, he formed a singing group from among his fellow workers."
I highly recommend that you obtain the two Snowy Scheme Albums -
[songsofthesnowy.com.au]
And if you locate the Canadian album from when he was working on the railway there please share the information.
Looking at my phone
Is this the same group?
@rogerbenham I don't think this is so Roger. They appear to be an English group.
I have just posted on "Traditional and Folkmusic" a Settlers article which includes a potted bio of Uilick O'Boyle who died back in about 2011.
@FrayedBear I agree but I do like the idea of this song. Myself and a woman were the opening act for the Seekers in 1969 April or May. They were an English group. But Googling shows an Australian group by that name who broke up in 1968. So it could not have been them. Even if we did our act in 1968 (possible) they were top of the charts and I can't imagine them being the same group that played at Grey College, University of Durham alongside us. I do remember that Joanna and I were offered a recording contract after that but we chose to complete our degrees and both got fancy honours degrees which kinda set us in directions.
@rogerbenham The following article provides you with further interesting information of Uilick O'Boyle's songs and records.
