Thought you levelled a really coherent,and patient! argument -and after studying history for three years the sacrifice made by the people of the old Soviet Union was by far the greatest , and destroyed fascism almost single handedly. Conservative casualty figures suggest 27 million lost, but the true figure was nearer 40 million.
Western leaders were not too disimilar in there views concerning international jewry and the threat of communism, and even today the loss of 40 million Soviets is not given the respect that this massive sacrifice deserves.
It is very difficult for historians to say disengenuous things about the US involvement in WW2. The leaders also sacrificed their young men on an ideological altar. Most of the evidence points to US involvement when the financial returns were guaranteed, but then that is what drives capitalism -war and profit.
