As did my ancestors in the Civil War.

But the question of the Soviet troops gets really grey. They did way more than the west to defeat the Nazis. Truth be told, even without D-Day they would have eventually defeated Germany. But they were attacked by the Germans. But in many ways were as bad as the Nazis.

Were the Russians good guys or bad guys?
