For example, take a look at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pacific_War_films this]] compared to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Eastern_Front_of_World_War_II_films this]], 73 films vs 21 films... and that\'s just movies. What\'s more, there\'s a systematic downplaying of most other countries efforts.

Watch some television or documentaries and pretty the same thing happens. And the focus tends to be on the US, not other countries too.

Let me give you one VERY glaring example that may spark a mini flame war, but it\'s worth pointing out: the invasion of Manchuria by the Soviets. Arguably the most successful operation of the whole war, the Soviets captured an area the size of europe and a grand total of 640,276 prisoners during that small campaign, much, much more than any other country, utterly devastating the Japanese mainland army and effectively crushing any hope of Japan keeping China.
