Why does America take most of the credit for winning WWII, when all 3 main allied powers played an important role, and it was the Soviets who contributed most?

 Once upon a time, as I was told, a very virtuous lady lived in Istanbul. She was so careful of her chastity that no gossip about her was neither made nor heard by a single soul.

One day she had to visit a friend at one of the Prince Islands Prince Islands - Wikipedia and this being the time before steamships let alone mobile telephony when she had to return she was supposed to take whatever boat was available at the pier.

Incidentally the only boat left was one rowboat owned by the most lecherous man Istanbul has ever known in her millennia long history. He was so lascivious that it was almost certain that the virgin riding his boat would land deflowered or the widow with rosy cheeks.

Our lady who is the symbol of chastity had to take that boat or spend the night out of her house which of course was unthinkable. So she said to the ferryman “I know who you are and you know who I am so be good and I will pay you accordingly, if you are out of line it will not be good for you because everybody knows how virtuous I am and the police will deal with you” The man swears that he will not make any advances and they start the two hour journey, our lady comfortably sitting at the back and the man rowing facing her.

After a short while she notices that the man is saying something under his breath with each pull of the oars. She listens carefully and hears him saying “They’ll say, they’ll say” almost like a chant.

She, intrigued asks him what this is all about and the lecherous rower very politely says “Madam, I am just chanting ‘They’ll say’” “What will they say? Who” she says.

“Oh, everybody of course” the villain says “Everybody will say that you, too were on my boat and they know what happens here. They will say that and that will be the truth so why not?” and smiles triumphantly.

I was not told what happened after because I was little when I heard this story and the ending was probably not fit for my then tender ears but this is what I know.

We, in the “West” are in the same boat and we hear what “They say” :)
