The Soviet Union was an ally of Hitler's until he had the stupidity to 
attack them too late in the summer.  Under the Molotov Treaty, the 
Soviets got to take half of Poland as spoils of the Nazi victory.  The
Soviet Union also conquered Finland.  Let us not forget the Warsaw uprising,
when a quarter of a million Poles died fighting the Nazis while Comrade
Stalin's forces stood by and did nothing.  And the U.S. and Great Britain
were so nice to stop at the Elbe and let Eastern Europe be 'freed' by
the Soviets.
