Just notice, just a thought no offence. It always bugs me when people state Nazis or Facist and state Russians in the same sentence not Communist or Red Army. If you say Germans then Russians would be appropiate. Doco's on TV jump from Nazi Army to German Army, Imperial Japan with the US Army etc. Is it just to demonize things more? Hitler's or Stalin's Army but you never hear for example the US Army as Bush's Army, (ok not in power now!) or Capitalist Army etc. Strange in WW2 stating Red Army seems OK but after WW2 the Russians aren't looked upon as foudly being referred to as the Red Army or Communist Armies vs the US ARMY etc. In WW2 (and before) The Communist for just as bad as the Nazis for alot of countries. Sure the Nazis had to be fought and beaten and the Communist allies but there was a lot of blind eyes and head turn and excuses made to accommendate this certain ally. Not all Russians were keen on Stalin just as all Germans weren't for Hitler if they knew what all was going on. Just a thought. Sorry don't mean to get heavy. Now into my Finnish fighter - where are those Reds!
