Well Desert Rhino, So neither of was there. But I am at least smart enough to differentiate between "inevitable" and "basically over".

So save your breath, as what I said was correct. Only a knuckle dragging mouth breather would argue against that fact.

Sorry sport, the guys in 1945 didn’t have the benefit of having watched the ending on History Channel. There were a lot of people in February of 45 not knowing exactly how it was all going to come to an end. Everyone was confident we were going to win, but they had been confident eight weeks earlier when the Battle of the Bulge was Unleashed in a surprise.

And you seem to think basically over means if we would have let up and coasted that everything would have had the same outcome. The fact is, if we would have let up an inch the industrious Germans would have taken advantage of that as they always did, and collapsed into a very hard to attack pocket. The only answer was to pound them until they collapsed.

And if it was basically over, where were the German negotiations to surrender in February of 45?
