Yes, they did. With the risk of being repetitive I'm going to post yet another quote from that "I Remember" Russian site. This one is from Il-2...
Well, I've noticed many sources states it missed the war, like the one you posted, while in fact it seems to have missed only the war in Europe....
Ask, and ye shall receive. [img] Soviet aces tended to be sent on "lone-wolf" missions towards the end of the war, with planes ranging...
Okay, we can do this. Here's a bit of basic data to highlight that Soviet aircraft weren't crap, as we have seen stated several times in this...
Whoa! That's definitely a good collection of links. Thanks!
Yes, here is the Pe-2, a pic where you can just about make out the lower gunner on closest aircraft. Not a turret though. [img] And here's...

The Finns I have read about certainly expressed disgust with the actions performed by the WSS in Russia. I would imagine this stems from the fact...
I definitely have to go with old Joe Stalin as well, since the question is "strongest". Not only did he wield a tremendous army with, all things...
Definitely Eisenhower. He had the very hard job of keeping together and coordinating an alliance with many different nations, which meant being...
Errr... There certainly were witnesses doing so at Nuremberg and at the Eichmann trials. These actions include killing Jews, shooting of POWs and...
Additionally, as the great debate on how to best proceed went on, the generals did not simply intend to conquer Moscow for the sake of conquering...
