War films have been produced by every nation with a film industry, not just America.

This is my opinion of course. Even Band of Brothers (which is one of my favorite things put on film) is overly pretentious in my opinion, although I understand why.

If not for Russia, WWII may not have been won by the Allies.
And I say the Soviet Union would have been defeated were it not for second fronts opened in Noth Africa by the Western Allies, not to mention the defacto second front that was the Allied bombing campaign as well as massive material support for the Soviets from the West. It was that close. If the Battle of Stalingrad goes the other way, the Soviets lose the war. WWII was a group effort that required the participation of the US, due to their massive industrial infrastructure.
