Well, it's 22 June in my end of the world anyway.
Hard to let this date go past without noting it was the start of Operation Barbarossa nor, 70 years ago today, Operation Bagration, in which the Red Army destroyed Army Group Centre. Somewhere north of 2 million men involved.

Also the start of Barbarossa 73 years ago. 3.8 million men, 95% of the Panzer Korps, and almost 4500 aircraft.

Eastern Europe in particular owes the Soviets quite a bit. Just not the way you mean.

I believe they paid their debts in 40 years under the iron curtain after WW II.

No I know what happened after the war but at least most of the Eastern Europeans were alive to experience it.
The Soviet Union was no ray of sunshine but compared to what the Nazi's had planned.....?
