Hijacked for the greater good. And I think I had an even hand to play, as I pointed out the correct size.

Is he to answer your combined opinion?
It seems to me there is little to answer unless you simply want to demonstrate more of your dyed in the wool stupidity. It is unlikely you will accept any fact or any evidence presented by anyone who is not in lockstep with you culture of 'America always wins and America can do no wrong'.
But I'll leave it to him.
 
I think the US contribution was the least in terms of taking down Germany. Of course, without America the USSR and Britian maybe never would've taken down Japan, and would've had to settle peacefully with the Japanese empire (throwing all of the Chinese and such they had conquered into the fire in the process).

Uhhh, I didn't pose the question, so I'm curious as to why you directed the comment towards me. Especially since I've mostly espoused my support for the Soviets, not America as you would have seen it.

And all the material we supplied the Russian and British so they could continue their war effort? Our landing in North Africa and then in Italy?

Well we gave them material, but they gave much more in terms of men, especially Russia.

As I said up there I'm not sure it could have even been done without all three. Britian was extremely heroic in the beginning and Russia wore Hitler out. It's possible the two of them could have taken Germany down by themselves with the aid of the lend-lease program.

Germany couldn't sustain a war on two fronts, only America could. The British did not have the man power to pose a serious threat to Germany, and it was one of Hitlers greatest mistakes to overestimate the possibility of a British landing in France before the winter of 43. It's all highly probable that if he had listened to his generals and reduced his troop levels in the west, sending them east, Russia would have broken. The British however played the psychological aspect well, and Hitler forced himself into the corner. As well as an aggressive air and naval war, and harrying Rommel in North Africa.

You're right, no one nation or even two nations could complete the war without the others. And that understates the serious contributions made by other nations, such as China and France.

I would disagree. It would have taken longer, but it could have been done... by a combo of Russia and the UK. The UK was a big enough distraction given the fight they put up in the Battle of Britain that sooner or later (had the US stayed out of the war) Hitler would have wasted the rest of his air force in the effort to take England. The Russians were simply too vast in numbers to stop forever.

Obviously the results were quicker with the US entry into the war. Had the Russians stopped once pushing the Germans out of their country, things would have been far more difficult for the US/UK and our allies.

agreed.... the story of the duel between Zeitsev (sp?) and the German sniper was very intriguing as a battle within the battle.

The sniper duel was only 3 paragraphs or so of the book. Anyone who wants to borrow a copy can ask, as they've become hard to find.

yeah... why not leave it to him given that he began the entire thing by making the statement and then refusing to elaborate on what made him think as he did. Then he made one excuse after another to refuse to answer it.

Your obsession with bashing America is yet again duly noted. It was mentioned by several on this board that we are interested in hearing differing views, especially from those in other countries especially when it comes to WWII.

It is unlikely your closed minded idiocy will ever allow you to see Americans in a good light. Your idiocy of pretending that we believe 'America can do no wrong' is pathetic. WE GET IT. YOU HATE AMERICANS.
