Re: British / American against Russia in 1945

Agree, I doubt any English, Canadian, French or American soldier was seeing the Soviet as enemies in April-May 1945. Poles were maybe not thinking the same but I don't think they met Soviet troops in Germany.

On the other hand, two armies attacking in opposite directions without coordination will always hit friendly troops coming the other way. And then in combat conditions, battle vs "friendly troops" may last a while before both sides realized what is happening.
