    saying ‘nobody was close to us in terms of bravery

    Yeah tell that to the 13 million dead Sowjet soldiers.

    For perspective that is more than the current inhabitants of Belgium or Bolivia.

    Adding 14 million dead Soviet citizens - 27 million dead, that’s more people than currently living in Australia.

      Or the British SAS that were busy from the very beginning of the war… Or the British soldiers that tried help France against the imvasion.

      Or the Dutch and the French resistance.

      Or the Danish government, who through surrender and platitudes, kept the Nazis distracted while the Danish, Swedish, and Nordic Underground smuggled Jews and dissenters to America.

        Or to smuggle out the portrait of the Fallen Madonna with the big boobies in a salami.
