Actually, the Soviet Union liberated Auschwitz, as well as Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Examples of camps liberated by the US include Buchenwald, Dora-Mittelbau, Flossenbürg, Dachau, and Mauthausen. The British liberated Neuengamme and Bergen-Belsen. https://twitter.com/ARMY4Trump/status/1077763194351955968 …

It's also true that the Soviets committed many atrocities as they swept into Germany, including mass rape of German women and girls. Again, history, it's complicated. To defeat the Nazis, we allied ourselves with a murderous dictator whose troops were as brutal as Nazis.

Curious why history doesn't start virtually every discussion on this vein with acknowledgment that Great Britain stood largely alone against fascism in Europe for 5+ years. Had that small island lacked tenacity, there would have been no D-Day (2 1/2 years after US declared war).

I don't for one moment wish to understate the role of the Soviets, but casualties are a poor metric. Zhukov and Stalin were both extremely profligate in their wildly unnecessary wasting of men.
