the last time I looked, Italy is still a part of Europe. We had the Fifth Army fighting there, plus Army logistical units, the USAAF, and the US Navy during 1943-45

I am well aware of the fronts in Italy, North Africa, tremendous air and sea combat, etc. I was talking specifically about “many dozens of divisions” which could engage and kill potentially into the millions. We could hurt Nazi Germany but we could not WIN the war without “many dozens of divisions” in western Europe.

You’re right, I should have been specific about what I meant by “major” or “large” armies, but I thought the context made it clear. I was referring to, at what point could we get 60+ divisions into combat against Germany?
