No big deal, revisionist history is nothing new. There is a passage IRC in The Rape of Nanking about the modern day Japanese and the chapters in their history books downplaying the massacres. I was visiting the Wright Brothers memorial at Kill Devil Hill, NC one summer. I remember standing at a display about the Me-262. A young child, presumably American, asked his mother when World War II started, and she replied "1941."

Things like this have always been contorted, twisted, and shaped in all manners of ways. I find it best not to quibble too much about who saved whose bacon. It was good versus evil, and good won, not the U.S., not the S.U., etc...
