So you’re telling me it wasn’t these 2 men who raised the flag over the reichstag?

There are many people who do not remember the Soviet Union fondly.

What difference does it make what and who remembers? You can always read about it.
Snails added a Soviet avatar most likely because May 9th soon

It makes a huge difference if we stick to the truth, even though it may be inconvenient, or if we just repeat what was told.
Especially in our current media climate it is important that we do that and repeating an official state line, even though ti has been proven wrong, doesn’t shine a good light on Gaijin.
Edit:
Gaijin picked the profile picture of the unit commander, so if they had stuck with “the one who’s soldiers raised the flag” would have been perfectly fine, but the two people named were not the ones who raised the flag.
I don’t understand at all what you’re talking about(

Well, I’d also like to see something different for a change, more modern, more aviation, less exchangeable faces in parade uniforms or all the infantrymen so far featured in this aircraft/tank/ship/helicopter game.
For example there would be a lot of people after WW2 that could be in the focus, like David Morgan (Falklands), Steven Phyllis (Gulf War), Robin Olds (Vietnam), Kim Campbell (Iraq), or why not a Chuck Yeager…
That’s history too. = )

I think that would not be entirely correct, especially when such an important date for the whole world is approaching.
Not necessarily this time, but in general.

Pages of history aren’t just remembering, they are glorifying, and nothing about that war or any war or worth glorifying.
Gaijin need to follow their own code of conduct and keep politics out of War Thunder.

This is your opinion, I don’t think it’s correct, this war was not controversial, it had clearly defined “bad” guys and “good” guys

If you were Russian, or German perhaps that’s how it looked.
Not everyone is Russian or German though.

Axis and Allies though…unless you’re Austrial or Italian…then you played both sides :)
not everyone was a willing member of each side

Not saying that, but usually you find that the Axis member countries were regarded as the bad people…seeing that they launched their attacks first.
You can, of course, add the Soviet Union and their attack on Poland as part of the early agression as well, but in the end they also fought the Third Reich.
For Germany, Italy and Japan, sure. For other countries in the Axis, it’s not that simple.

Did they have a choice?
Why even this post says the war was a long 6 years, but the ru forum says only 4 years?

On a sidenote, the only nation to fight WW2 from September 39 to August 45 was the United Kingdom.
