🎬 Remembrance - an RT Doc. Film
Synopsis: When the Red Army approached Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, the survivors met their liberators with shouts of “the Russians have come.” The first words of Major Anatoly Shapiro, who was in command of the unit that entered the death camp, were: “The Red Army came to set you free.”
Surprisingly, nowadays, while on a tour of the notorious extermination camp, you would never hear Polish guides mention that exactly the Soviet Union liberated Auschwitz. Instead, you would be told a big fat and deliberate lie: that World War II was started by Stalin, jointly with Hitler.
Today, Western countries are trying to rewrite history in order to point out that it is them who saved Europe from the Nazies. The truth about real contribution to the liberation of Europe by the Red Army is being wiped from Western history books. At the same time Soviet soldiers increasingly being portrayed as oppressors and occupiers rather than saviours.
However, back then the people caught amid the conflict were perfectly aware of the sacrifices the Soviet people and the Red Army made to beat the Nazis. Both Roosevelt and Churchill told Stalin “The US/UK understand that the Soviet Union is bearing the brunt of the war.”
Very few Westerners are aware what the Soviet Union had to endure and the might of the Nazi war machine it had to face and then crush. The Red Army faced over 75% of all Nazi Germany forces, its most experienced and brutal units, at the height of their power, dealing the decisive blow to break the Axis backbone. It took the never-seen-before devotion, ingenuity, strategy and tactics as well as united efforts of the entire Soviet nation. Although remembered with reverence, the Allies efforts on the ground pale in comparison: US military death toll in Europe amounted to some 300'000, while most of the Nazi forces were concentrated on the Eastern front.
