Actually, your statement above should read, "...freedoms given to you
and Norway by the blood and sacrifice of the people of the USSR,
Britain, France (though they were overrun), Greece, Australia, New
Zealand, Norway itself and America" (and probably a whole host of people
I've forgotten). Of the 30m people or so who died in WW2, around a
third - 10m - were from the USSR. I don't see people in the US - have
never seen them - giving credit to the Russians, who were at the time
communists, for their freedom. The history of the Russians in WW2 is
long and complicated, and I don't propose to go over it here, but the
sacrifice can hardly be denied.
