Allies
I thought the Yanks won WW2 single handedly !!!

Yep, you're right.
And accroding to Hollywood they also captured the first Enigma machine 2 years before they even entered the war, thats how good they are.

As a Yank, I'm sometimes surprised at the reactions out there, sometimes not.....
If it hadn't been for Britain's stance 1939-late 1941, life would have sucked for all of Europe. Don't believe Germany could have taken us out, but getting back the continent would have taken years longer, if at all.
We had a bunch of idiots who supported Hitler's ideology (the Bund, IIRC), even more who just wanted to stay out of it (some things never change apparently....), and a smart few who were working to be with the good guys.
The Soviets did a LOT of bad things in "liberating" Eastern Europe, like not letting the countries go after they booted out the Wehrmacht. And it truly sucked to be any sort of female when Ivan came through, BUT, if Ivan hadn't been in the fight, then the stance mentioned above wouldn't have lasted. Lots of divisions and aircraft would have poured west again.
Regarding Hollywood making the US as the sole victors and/or rewriting history, doesn't each country's film industry do that? They are trying to make a buck/pound/ruble, not be accurate. It's just a movie, fer Chris'sake.......
