And let us never forget the evils of Hitler and his murderous Nazi thug butchers:

After World War I, Germany's economy suffered from depression and a devaluation of their currency.
On January 30, 1933, Adolph Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany by promising hope and universal healthcare.
Less than a month later, on February 27, 1933, a crisis occurred -- the Rheichstag, Germany's Capitol Building, was suspiciously set on fire.
Hitler was quick to use this crisis as an opportunity to set aside Germany's Weimar Republic and seize emergency powers as a dictator.
He suspended basic rights and accused his political opponents of conspiracy.
He ordered mass arrests followed by executions, even ordering his SS and Gestapo secret police to murder rivals, as on the Night of the Long Knives.
Hitler confiscated guns, forced old German military leaders to retire, and swayed the public with mesmerizing speeches.
Rise of the Tyrant - How Democracies & Republics Rise & Fall
In socialist countries, a person's life is only of worth if it benefits the state.
Those not benefiting the state are removed.
National Socialist Workers Party operated over 1,200 concentration camps where millions of Jews, Poles, Gypsies, handicapped, and others were experimented upon, tortured, or were killed in gas chambers.
German churches were silent, as they had for centuries taught pietism - a version of separation of church and state where Christians were instructed to focus on their own personal spiritual life and withdraw from involvement in worldly politics.
As a result, the church stood by as the National Socialist Workers Party usurped power, only to be stopped by the sacrifice of millions of courageous Allied soldiers.
By the time a few courageous Germany church leaders spoke out, such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, it was too late - the government had grown so powerful it simply arrested and executed them.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened, he will fight savagely ...
May I second your comment?
Thank-you GREATest Generation!
In the next two and a half months, over two million soldiers arrived on the shores. Pairs was liberated on August 25, 1944, and the Nazi war machine back over the Seine River.
July 1939 The UK and France declare that they will aid Poland if it is attacked.
In September 1939, both the Soviet Union and Germany invade, and the country is divided in half
France and UK declare war on Germany, but not on the Soviet Union.
Why is that?
(Bingo)
On further reflection,the “Greatest Generation” came around 3 times in history.
1.The generation during the time of Our Lord Jesus.
2.The generation of the American Revolution.
3.The Depression Era/WW2 Era generation,(American Greatest Generation in special way).
I certainly can’t argue with that statement.
Except Jews in America are voting for policies and politicians that are detrimental to them and Israel.
Would not be surprised if the final taily of those killed 75 years ago came to about very close 10,000. Another reflection.
Not surprised. You have the Depression Era/WW2 Era generation is sadly is fading into history now. That is also why there is efforts to work at archiving this part of history, WW2.
“France and UK declare war on Germany, but not on the Soviet Union. Why is that?”
Probably because that’s what the map dictates. They shared a border with Germany and it was an actual threat to their own survival. A prime concern of militaries is logistics. There would have been no way for England and France to project power against the USSR. As it was they couldn’t even hold Germany at bay.
