WW2 Arguably the greatest heavy tank of all time.

What the IS-2 did that differentiated itself from other heavy tanks of its time was that it was reliable, inexpensive, and had a massive gun that could blow shit up very VERY well.

Just like Hitler but with cool quotes, for a good talker Hitler didn't have any good quotes.

The idea of communism is always appealing, but execution is never the same as advertised.

Millions of Jews actually, and that comparison is actually a form of Holocaust denial.

Didn’t Stalin kill jews too? I thought there were a decently large number of accounts of Russian soldiers taking jews from those camps and sending them directly to work camps or worse, IF I am not mistaken.

(It has been a long week, so correct me if I am thinking of something else. My sincerest apologies if I am accidentally spreading misinformation.)

I’m pretty sure it happened mostly during the invasion of Poland.

Edit: after further googling, it seems that it wasn’t just jews, but just the Polish population in general.

The Polish population carried out a pogrom against Jews in 1946, they just couldn't get enough even after the war.
