I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because "I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it" which is ridiculous. This isn't the first time that's happened on Lemmy. What's up with that?
Yup. Just spitting out the "Asiatic hordes" myth, literal nazi propaganda from the 1940s. No, the Soviets did not use human wave tactics (that would be Imperial Japan). They had high casualties because the Germans were carrying out a genocide where entire towns were massacred. They regularly executed POWs and the ones who weren't were sent to concentration camps to be used as slave labor.
Furthermore, Barbarossa was a surprise attack that caught the Soviets off guard. The Germans were able to establish air superiority early on because of it, along with more AFVs. It isn't until Kursk things turned around and put the Soviets firmly on the offensive. And the thing about being on the offensive is you need a 3 to 1 advantage because the enemy is entrenched, something the Germans struggled to do as their supply lines were overextended the closer they got to Moscow.
There's so much wrong with the bullshit being spouted it would take hours to explain why.
