The Russians (and other USSR peoples) broke the Nazis. The delusions that fuel fanatics like Hitler also bring about their downfall - in this case, his conviction of the inferiority of the Slavs.

The Germans were certainly great fighters, almost on a par with the Israelis. Count me unimpressed. When we were kids there were lots of weak jokes about Italian fighting prowess. I laughed then, but now I see the Italians' reluctance to risk their lives in a non-defensive war as sensible, even admirable. NZers were good fighters, and a consequence we suffered big losses in WW1 and 2. In my family, 6 NZ great-uncles were killed in WW1. What for? My father worked on radar as a civilian in WW2, and my mother said (he wouldn't speak about it) that he would have been a conscientious objector rather than go to fight. I don't know - it takes a lot of courage to be a conchie.
