Yes, I know, that's why it's hard to forget that *two* countries invaded Poland together and both exterminated Poles in their respective occupied territories.
To me, the Katyn massacre and The Great Purge show that the Soviets were not far behind the Nazi Germany in their atrocities.
Ultimately, to me, Operation Barbarossa was two, previously aligned, empires now fighting each other. That's why I laugh at their "Great Patriotic War".
The Soviets may have lost the most people in terms of raw numbers, but the Poles lost almost a fifth of its total population. Half of the Jews that died in the Holocaust were Polish. And the Soviets helped make that happen by collaborating with Hitler.
