1) Russia
2) Russia
3) By that time the Russian Army was too strong for the U.S. to do anything.
The Russians were broke.
They were running out of people. 25 million dead in the war.
Just the distance and the winters would have wiped out the Germans. We were at our strongest at the end of WWII.
I'm just glad we didn't have to find out.
We fielded over 100 divisions when one counts all the independent brigades and battalions. We had hundreds of ships and aircraft groups. The original plan was to field 200 Divisions but that was scaled back because there was no need.
If war broke out between the Soviets and us we would have been able to scale back production and recruit more divisions. Our goal was never to defeat the Soviets anyway.
Further we had the Atomic Bomb and they did not.
We provided almost every truck jeep and car they drove. They would have had to scale back tank production to make up the short fall. We provided food they would not have been able to replace with so many troops in the field.
During the war we provided them so much they could not provide it boggles the mind. The Soviets had men but without our production base and purse strings they would have had a hard time beating the Germans.
I agree. Another point is, Without The U.S bombers and The RAF bombing Germany's armarment factories (as Albert Speer said himself), there is no chance in hell that The Russians would have defeated Germany. Germany would have had a successful invasion, even if they had to wait out the winter. Either way, The Russians could have never have stood alone without our support against The German War Machine. ~BH
