There are some hints in YouGov’s poll that memories of the Cold War may be a factor. Americans aged 18-29 were the age group most likely to credit the USSR, though they still prefer the US by 36% to 16%. However Americans 65 and up, who would have mostly come of age during the heart of the US-Soviet rivalry, pick the US over the Soviet Union by 66% to 9%, a much wider margin.
Germany should be an option. Their ideology really made it impossible for them to be sustainable long term.
Or maybe Spain, by staying out of the war and keeping Hitler on read they made it possible for the allies to actually gain enough power. Winning through pacifism.
A huge majority of those who actually lived through WWII gave credit to the Soviets, who killed the most Nazis by far.
Given that the survey is in English, I’m guessing mostly people from English speaking countries took it.
Notably, that’s not how the US army looks at it
