The Russkies won WW2, don't let anyone fool you.

They do have to be given credit for getting Rommel's plans for the Atlantic Wall to the Allies, who knew the position of every one of his guns in June '44. They also destroyed a number of vital rail links in Normandy that hadn't been bombed yet.
They didn't do anything near like what the Soviet or Yugoslav partisans did though.
The Russkies won WW2, don't let anyone fool you.
