In my opinion not one single country did the most, it was a joint effort.
Soviet Blood, American Steel and British Intelligence. Without one another, no one wouldve won.
The Nazis did the most to defeat the Nazis, if it wasn’t for the Nazis being Nazis they might have won.
Nope, definitely no propaganda in the west.

People find it difficult in general to have nuanced opinions that contain more than one point of view. These days saying that the Soviet Union was the major player in the outcome of the European front is immediately countered by “but they started the war!! as if you are defending them in some way. You can think that the Soviet Union was a bad regime, and still think that they it was a net positive that they defeated Germany out of the two possible outcomes.
I am sincerely astonished that the French didn’t answer “us”.
May 1945, literally when no one was sure if USSR os going to use those few million soldiers to invade the rest of Europe or not, and when people were still thinking that *maybe* they are going to leave from all those countries they took (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria).
Was there a similar survey done in, say, 1947 or 49? I would like to see that data…
It would be interesting to have similar data for WW1.
