Hello, my name is Nicholas Eller and I am a student at Harford Community College. Currently I am enrolled in Dr. Karmel's History of Russia class and this blog was assigned as a project for the class. With that being said, I am actually excited about doing a project that is far from the traditional term paper and allows me to explore history and provide my interpretation to anyone who wishes to view my blog.
As soon as I received the news that I would be doing a blog for my class, I immediately knew that I wanted my topic to involve WWII. I have studied various aspects of the war and find almost everything about it fascinating. However, I have only ever studied America's involvement in the war and almost nothing else. Over the course of analyzing the topic I have found that many people believe that America had the most significant role in the war, but I know that this is far from the truth. The nation that played the most significant role was the Soviet Union and over the course of a few weeks I will prove the significance of the Soviets in the war.
In the weeks to come I will cover the role of the Soviets in WWII starting with the turning point of the war with Stalingrad and ending with the battle of Berlin. Throughout my analysis I will also provide an overview of Stalin as a military leader and also the mentality of the Soviet soldiers. I believe this will be a very interesting learning experience for myself and also anyone who reads this blog.
