I beg to differ. WE WON Africa. WE Won Italy. WE had 127,000 troops hit the beaches on DDAY. WE had 3,000,000 in England. Monte was in charge at the initial landings. Once the beachhead was secured control was turned over To SHEAF and IKE. Because as Churchill said and Monte could not argue. The Americans are commiting far more manpower and will take far more loses. It is only fitting that they be commanded by Americans. We took France, Belgium. And Germany. We let Russia take Berlin. We were ahead of them, we stopped and waited until the Russians did take Berlin.

It was fitting we felt that Russia be allowed to because of the people they had lost. It was Politics. We sat and waited, and waited. The German feeling at the time was we should move and hurry to get to Berlin first. We decided not to do so. WE destroyed the 15th, the 7th Armies and more. We destroyed PanzerGruppe one after the other.

The only thing Russia has was manpower to use as cannon fodder which Stalin was more than happy to use. And I might add, it was not the communist state for which they fought. Stalin pushed Mother Russia, and put communism in the background. So much for the utopia of a gov. that no one would fight for without being shot.

"The only thing the Russians had was manpower."

Jeez. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Russian armor was either the best in the war, or barely second to Germany. Their artillery was good quality as well. They also produced some top quality fighters in the last couple years of the war, as well as a top quality tank-buster.
