I enjoyed a recent documentary on YouTube called “Chicago In WW2: The City That Fueled America’s War Machine” (55 min.), although one odd detail led me to comment. Well done and enjoyable, but I do have one bone to pick. A casualty figures chart near the end lists “Russia” as having suffered 26 million. Though the USSR and then Russia have made this into a Russian event, most of the dying was done in Belarus and Ukraine (see Timothy Snyder’s book Bloodlands). The “Russia” label should read “USSR”. This error reflects common usage at the time, but it matters because modern-day fascism in Russia uses the war as a justification for its military aggression and atrocities in our own time. By the way, the film is narrated by Bill Kurtis.
