Pernicious Myths About World War II
... Germany's army and air force were broken on the Eastern Front's titanic battles. The numbers speak for themselves. The Soviets destroyed 75-80% of all German divisions -- 4 million soldiers -- and most of the Luftwaffe. Russia lost at least 14 million soldiers and a similar number of civilians. The Red Army destroyed 507 Axis divisions. On the Western Front after D-Day, the Allies destroyed 176 badly under-strength German divisions ... World War II was not a good and evil struggle between "western democracies" and "totalitarian powers," as we are still wrongly taught.
