Eric, I don't believe that's fully true that the Eastern front is mentioned. We learned about the treaty betweent Stalin and Hitler and how eventually the Germans invaded Russia and were fought off.
Neither side is innocent. I recently got a new issue of World War II magazine and they had an interesting article about Auschwitz and how Germany used it as a place to make it's Synthetic fuel which powered its military and mainly its airforce. That one country (Germany) was able to use all their own and those in the camps to produce half of all the fuel used in WW2.
Now, after we gave Britain our Enigma machines, they went on to play with the codes while we later received little recognition for our efforts. Churchill talked about honor and the such, but Stalin played with him and FDR like puppets and had them even poke fun at one another. Britain and America also wouldn't let one of the best Parachute brigades (all Polish) to fly into Warsaw even though they were formed to liberate Warsaw. In all, none of us are all innocent.
